bubble wrap dreads
Hello!!!
I had customer asking if i could make bubble wrap dreads ( she meant as if they were DE dreads that she could braid into her own hair) now i did say no but i suppose i can always go back.
I was wondering if you can, If anyone could find the topic about them on the old forum for me and a word/picture tutorial on how to do bubble wrap dreads.
Any help would be super!!!!!!

Re: bubble wrap dreads
I tried for the LONGEST time to make bubblewrap dreads in the style like Anarchy makes.
I tried the method where you cut a strip of bubblewrap, and then wrap it in packaging tape or duct tape, but they would come out STIFF and un-bendable. I tried boiling them to soften them up, but that didn't do anything.
I also researched trying to make rolls of bubblewrap, then putting them in heatshrink tubing, but I think those would come out very stiff also!
I ended up just purchasing a bubblewrap wig from Anarchy. I'll check out how they are made when the wig gets here!

Re: bubble wrap dreads
I bet you could use this stuff called "stretch wrap" to make very nice, flexible, colorful, non-sticky bubble dreads. "Stretch wrap" is a thin plastic film which only sticks to itself, not to skin, hair, etc. It comes in several colors and it is generally an awesome substance. I've never had any 'fresh' but I've cut through it many times on packaging. Here it is: http://www.uline.com/BL_5400/Uline-Mini-Wrap You can't actually order from Uline, but it's a start.

Re: bubble wrap dreads
"stretch wrap" is better than shrink wrap because it's thinner and doesn't need heat applied to it.

this is essentially what is used to wrap furniture when moving, as well as coming in large wide rolls to wrap skids for transport
