Help with Harlequins!
Ok..having some issues I'm wondering if you can help me with..I tried posting this under the harlequinn tutorial, but no luck, so I figured I'd try here. When I make my harlequins...when I steam them...It always looks pinched in the middle..like you can tell it's two loops..it doesn't smooth out in the middle the way a regular DE does.. ...does that make any sense? I tried backcombing a bit more and still looks that way...any advice to help out would be appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Help with Harlequins!
Have you tried not sealing it as tightly as the rest of the dread? I've never come across this problem personally, all I do is backcomb two extra skinny DEs like normal (not leaving a thin bit for them to bend in the middle as usual though) then fold over each other, backcomb a bit more, twist and seal.

Re: Help with Harlequins!
I'm facing the same problem. But what I had done is that I fold the two pieces and then backcomb each side. I never thought to make two separate dreads and then fold them, as always when I have done really skinny dreads they tend to have much more fuzz and loops. Also they usually come out much shorter?
I would be happy to know how to get mid section smooth as well
