The Triple Crochet Hook speeds up the dread making process and will fast track your dreadlocks to maturity as it allows you to easily and efficiently create knots within the core of the dread. After kickstarting the dreadlock with this triple hook, you may then want to switch to a single hook which will allow you to refine the newly formed dread.
The needles are 0.50mm and the handle is comfortable and made from sustainable bamboo.
Using the hook for maintenance:
To
use the Dreading Hook, hold the dread firmly between your fingers and
use the other hand to push the Hook through the dread. Now grab a couple
of loose hairs and pull them back into the dread. There's no need to
pull the Hook the whole way through, try to just pull it into the middle
then push it back out again to grab a couple more hairs. This technique
is fairly straight forward and easy to get the hang of so you'll be
able to clock up some good speed soon enough. Now as you are pushing it
back and forth, keep the fingers which are holding the dread nice and
firm and ever so slightly twist the dread back and forth - this just
keeps the dread nice and even. As you finish one spot, slowly spin the
dread around so you end up working through the entire circumference of
the dreadlock.
So when's the best time to use this tool? It's always a good idea
to perform maintenance after your dreadlocks have been washed with a
residue free Dreadlock Shampoo and you've allowed them to completely
dry. This can be done on dreads of any age - in fact you can get started
using this tool right after you've created dreads. When you've finished
back combing and given them a thorough palm roll follow up with the
Dreading Hook working your way slowly and carefully along the length of
each dread.
