3 - Once all the dreads are in an exaggerated position leave the paddle pop sticks in while cooling the dreads with the cool setting of the hair dryer.
Do this for 5 mins to make sure the core temp of the dreads is cold too this will help the rubber set into position.

4 - Leave paddle pop sticks in for further 30-60 mins

5 - remove and enjoy

Well, I'll be dipped. I'm now rethinking my statement about not caring that the stock dreads are bunched the way they are. This just looks miles better. What further complicates things is that I've come to really like all of the unmasked heads for this. Even the roaring head has its place on this statue, so I'd be tempted to mod them all.



What are everyone's thoughts on using a can of compressed air to expedite the cooling process?

Does look better, no doubt. Do us all a favor and let us know if they start going back in time. Like a couple weeks from now will be a true test if they haven't started already?

Without any support they will return to previous shape. And don't listen to that freak fool. He don't know a flying fook about statue customizations and modding. My method is superior.
