How to Make Dread Wraps, Scarves and Bandanas
- 1). Measure the circumference of your head with a measuring tape. Depending upon the length of the wrap you wish to make, you will need to add between six to twelve inches to your measurement.
- 2). Cut the fabric of the wrap so that it is as long as the measurement you took in step one.
- 3). Cut the fabric to the desire width. Four to six inches is usually wide enough for a dread wrap that you will wind around your hair.
- 4). Hem the edges of the wrap using a needle and thread or a sewing machine. Fold the fabric one quarter to one half an inch so that the edges face inward and stitch the fold into place.
- 5). Experiment with different ways to wrap your dreads. You can try a bandanna style by tucking all of the dreads into the material or a headband style by securing the fabric and dreads in the front and letting the back of your hair hang freely.
