Less hair for the wraps, more backcombing for the base dread.

You're probably thinking of splashed dreads that are wrapped.
Use more than one colour for the main dread.
Don't wrap too tight or they'll go all popcorn-y, wrap them too loose and they'll come apart.

Good girl - we hope to see pictures...

The thing with all types of dread is that people can tell you, show yo but you have to try it for yourself to see what works and what doesnt... You will get the hang of it as you make more of them!! :D
