Hey ladies, I made a whole bunch of double ended and single ended synthetic dreads out of kanekalon fiber for my halloween costume. I'm just wearing them for a day or so, so the installation doesn't need to be perfect at all. However, I would like if the dreads on the top of my hair were a little neater. I have about 3/4 of the set installed, I was wondering if any of you have experience braiding in dreads or braids and have any tips for cleaning up the most visible ones. Anything helps!

I know its a long shot, but its worth a try. Thanks in advance for any help!

I had an ex that had dreads (don't ask lol) and he would tidy them by trimming the wilder parts with a pair of manicure scissors. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

The best advice is just to try to make the ones at the top tighter.
