https://www.doctoredlocks.com/catalog/Tutorials-Synthetic-Dreadlock-Basics/


I made all my own locks prior to being preg! Its so much more fun and you can get the effect you REALLY want....!

Although I just did spend like £100 making a new set....

I have it bookmarked. I love the colored ones. I'm so excited!

Gaaah shurrup, I'm sooo jealous, I WANT DREADS!!! I've dreaded OHs hair 3 times now, and he wants me to do it again so can't be bothered maybe I should make him do mine, except it's too short so would have to have synths!

Is it easy?? and how long does it take?? and how many do you have? I'm a little worried, I have ALOT of hair, I'm half middle-eastern, and certainly have the hair, it's sooo thick, and there's soooo much of it, which means things like braiding it take forever, and I have to have alot, it took about 8-10 hours and 3 fully trained hair ladies to do my braids, which I looooooved, but they itched like a mofo! oooops lots of Qs there, lol!

i don't know how they do it over there. They have a professional that installs them here but i did mine myself, but thats only because i was taught how. The amount depends on the natural hair really. I had about 60-80, but keep in mind that leaves you with 120-160 dreds, as they are double ended unlike braids, so they can get really annoying. Mine are really long, I havn't got a hold of the art of sealing them so i was too afraid to cut them, and the more u have the more harder they are to manage as you can't tie them up and stuff. I just did mine bigger sections- If i could get my hand around them to put into a ponytail then that was good enough for me. It takes a few hours, but then again that is still up to the person who is doing them for you, and the length of your natural hair. And yes they itch like crazy for the first week or so and feel really tight and yuk, but you get used to them and they feel like normal, then when you take them out it feels like your head is floating coz its so light they can end up being quite costly for the initial time you do them, as you need to buy the dreds- or you can just buy the hair and do them yourself, but if you dont know how, then don't- get someone else in the shop to do them or buy them already made. after you buy them though they can be reused over and over, so the only price would be for someone to put them in for u, unless you learn to do it yourslef then its free! But then u get sore arms etc after doing it yourself

Yeep I agree with most of that!

I make my own (after a few years of practice!) Its really really easy to do! It just takes time perfecting ! But soooo worth it in the end as you can have them EXACTLY as you like ! and buying hair is ALOT cheaper than pre-made GOOD QUALITY dreads. I'm working on a set of naturals at the moment which are made in a different way to most synths (these will be backcombed and hooked like real dreads would be, but steam sealed to set them - for a more natural look!) so you don't get that usual "twisty" look you often get with synths. The first time I had mine installed it look us 9 hours but now we do it in about 3/4 hours even though my hair is super long down to my boobs! i should cut it really to make the job easier its not like i ever have it out

In my hair I have about 70 DE's (double enders) but as you can see I like my hair mahhoooosive so my dreads are pretty chunky andi's are skinnier but we have around the same amount, so you get a different look depending on how thick/how many you put in if you get me? When I have mine put in it takes about 2 days to wear them in and for them not to feel tight - but you'd be surprised how normal it feels after those 2 days! and they aren't heavy either! I don't bother washing my hair i just use dread spray to keep them smelling fresh and my roots conditioned! its better this way aswell cause they are a pain in the ass to dry if you get them wet - so i just dont. then i take em out after 2 months or so... wash the 'fro and then re-install

If you ever fancied getting a set you should look on ebay for "dreads" under the hair extensions catagory and you can usually pick up a pre-loved set cheap! just stick em in a pillowcase and wash them on delicates in the washing machine x
