I had a science teacher last year named Mrs. Freeman. She has since moved on to another job, but I saw her at the school recently and she gave me some tips on dreading. She told me that she gave her boyfriend dreads once, and one thing that really helped was wrapping all of the individual dreads that have been recently made in floss. Tie it near the root, go down to the tip, knot, back to the root, knot. Keep it in a few weeks, a month, or more, and when you take out the floss you have dreads that are well on their way to developing.
Fact or myth? I've tried it on a few dreads and it seemed to work out pretty well. Will it hurt my hair in any way? It seems pretty harmless, but I just want to make sure.
Thanks!

so she did tell you to use the kind that you floss your teeth with? Most floss I have used has had weird minty wax on it that I wouldn't want to put in my hair. I would however wouldn't mind putting embroidery floss on my hair. unless there's another kind of floss out there that I don't know about haha. Alexi Rogers said:
