Article: Avoid using sponge rollers that are not covered in satin or silk. Exposed sponges can catch on dreadlocks, causing your dreads to become frizzy or tangled. You'll need dreads over three inches long to use rollers. Sponge rollers work especially well on longer, thinner dreads. You can buy satin sponge rollers at your local beauty supply store or online. Choose sponge rollers that suit the type of curl you're trying to create. The smaller the diameter of the roller, the tighter the curl will be. The larger the roller, the looser and wavier your curl will be. Plan to curl your dreadlocks after a wash, or have a spray bottle nearby to spritz your hair. Your locks should be damp but not soaking when you start curling. Rub a water-based setting lotion from the root of your lock to the end, working it through each strand before starting. This will help set and hold your curl. The dampness in your hair should help distribute the setting lotion. You may need to use more setting lotion if your locks are very thick or long. Use your best judgment. The goal is not to saturate the lock in setting lotion, but to coat the exterior for some additional hold. Starting at the end of your hair, roll one dreadlock around a roller. Roll the roller up the lock towards your scalp. Secure it closely to your scalp with the plastic lock on the roller. Use a hairpin to keep the roller close to your scalp if necessary. If your dreads are thin, you can roll multiple locks around one roller. Note that this may result in a slightly looser curl than if you did one lock per roller. Use as many rollers as necessary to curl your whole head. When you are finished, all of your locks should be secured against your scalp in rollers. Use a silk bonnet to cover your curled hair while you sleep. In the morning, check that your hair is dry to the touch. If it still feels damp at all, wait another hour or so until your hair is completely dry. Starting at the back of your head, remove any hairpins securing a roller. Unlatch the roller, and gently unfurl the dreadlock without disturbing the curl. Repeat the process, removing the rest of the rollers. Style as desired.

Article: Take the crust off the bread when you slice it into cubes. Before putting in the oven, brush it with melted butter and add seasonings like garlic and parmesan if you would like. Otherwise, bake the cubes like you normally would and throw them into your next recipe for texture and flavoring. Croutons go well in dishes like French onion soup or chowder. No one will blame you if you eat the croutons straight out of the bag, though.
