Just wondering, I made some Kanekalon fiber dreads and boiled them to seal them and also have touched them up with using a steam iron... They stick together so badly, drives me nuts...how the hell can I fix them!?A torch? Just kidding.
Did you use a hair products on the dreads? Gel? Hairspray? Wax? Mousse? I'm not sure why the dreads you made are sticking together. Synthetic fibers backcombed are ratty and therefore loose pieces can maybe cling to another piece from another dreads but it doesn't really sound like that is the problem you are running into.
We don't steam iron our dreads. So I don't have experience as to how that might effect the process.
Have you tried wool dreads. They are very soft... at least for the first while. After a few weeks they get lint balls like a sweater might so they don't have the longevity of synthetic dreads. But wool dreads are smooth and warm - which is perfect for winter. Wool dreads are also very heavy when you wash them in the tub/shower. Whereas, synthetic dreads do not get heavy since they are a synthetic fiber the water doesn't hold to the dread.
Have you tried washing the dreads? If it is a hair product then a little shampoo should fix it.
Well, those are all the suggestions I have. Let me know if you figure out what has caused it. And, let me know if you'd like us to make some dreads for you. Ours aren't sticky. :-)
