Brush small, inch sized circles in a clockwise motion until the hair starts to form into balls. This should only take about a minute or two. Once a ball of hair forms, move onto another section of the hair to continue making dreadlocks throughout the hair.  The brushing method works best for coarse hair that's 3/4" to 2.5" (1.905 cm - 6.35 cm) long. You can also use a sponge brush, which is made specifically to create dreads and curls in someone's hair.  Using a sponge brush often works better on short hair than using a bristle brush. Once all the hair is spun into small balls, you should apply a dread wax or cream to moisturize them and hold them in place. Put a dab of cream into your hand and rub it into each of the dreads. Popular brands of dread wax include Jamaican Mango & Lime, Doo Gro, and Africa's Best. You can help hold down the dreads with elastic bands or small hair clips. Apply the elastic band under the ball, near the root of the hair. Make sure not to apply the bands too tightly or it can cause discomfort to the person getting the dreads. If the texture of your hair is medium to coarse, you can skip this step. Tightly coiled hair will not unravel. Use a hair dryer to dry your locks completely. Touch them and make sure that they are no longer wet, but remain moisturized by your wax. Once they've been allowed to dry and set, you can remove your hair clips or elastic bands.  If you have access to a hooded dryer, use it instead of a hair dryer, as it will work more effectively. Don't sleep or play with your hair for three hours or the dreads may come loose.
