How to use Lock Peppa for Backcombing. 1) Just before you’re ready to begin backcombing shake a small amount of the lock peppa onto the hair right at the roots. Initially You only want to add Peppa to the first 2 inches or so of hair. 2) Backcomb as you normally would but now hair will be pushed forward faster and easier. You still want the hair to accumulate slowly, not allowing more than a couple of hairs to be pushed forward on each stroke.     TIPS for Backcombing with Lock Peppa   If you are backcombing for the first time it’s probably a good idea to start out by backcombing a few dreads without the Peppa. This will do two things. First it will give you a chance to backcomb on "low speed" so you can get your technique down before you throw it into overdrive. Second it will give you a greater appreciation for how much easier backcombing is with Lock Peppa. Start out with less Peppa and as you get the hang of it you can experiment adding more peppa. The more you add the easier it is to make progress backcombing but there is definitely such a thing as too much peppa. When you have too much peppa in the hair it will want to all bunch up and slide forward with each stroke of the comb. This is not good and will lead to: Wide poofy dreads that are way short, loosing lots of length. Dreads that look more like wads of hair or funky palm trees than dreads. Having to comb the dread out and start again. So remember.... Lots of fast strokes, each pushing forward just a couple hairs, which slowly add up to make a nice smooth dread. As you begin to get a feel for backcombing with the Peppa you’ll wonder how anyone got along without it. DreadHead Lock Peppa Ingredients
