Abstract
A method for fabricating a toy doll with dreadlock hair is provided. The method comprises preparation of spooled dreadlock hair by twisting and matting synthetic filaments into a cylindrical dreadlock strand, sewing or rooting the dreadlock strand into a toy doll scalp, heat treating the dreadlocks, styling the dreadlocks, and then applying a hair treatment to the dreadlocks. The artisan twists the dreadlocks as they are rooted, thereby increasing their structural integrity. The doll is then heat treated to help set the dreadlocks. The artisan then styles the dreadlocks and applies a hair treatment to protect against wear and facilitate a lifelike appearance.
