I have had my first set in for a week now and I can’t figure out why I didn’t do this sooner! My natural hair is so fine and thin and I have always hated it. These give me so much confidence and I can do so many new hairstyles now. I’m in LOVE with mine. I’m middle aged and I think this is definitely my mid-life crisis look but I seriously don’t care what anyone thinks. 😂 Thank you for all tips!

This summarized my pros and cons with synthetic dreads so well! My biggest con is how sensitive my head is. My first install was not overly tight, just average and it hurt so bad. I've had to learn how to section my hair in larger pieces without it looking too 'gappy'. I also install mine pretty loose to help with the discomfort but then they only last a week before they start slipping down like crazy. I actually have yet to make it past 8 days before I have to redo the majority of them!

My pros are confidence booster! It has made me feel so good about myself. I'm also growing out a pixie and its in the awkward stage lol so this helps keep my hair healthy and allow it to grow. It grows so much in just 4 week. I only keep mine in for 4-6 weeks. take a break for a few days then have them reinstalled. my only con I really have is the tension bumps. it itches so bad. My biggest piece of advice would to be make sure you're getting good quality dreads. cheap ones can cause irritation also to your scalp. Love your content!

@nicolepoulton Жыл бұрын
I’m so glad you’re loving your dreads! The confidence boost is UNMATCHED!! When it comes to your tension bumps, try braiding the dreads in a bit looser. That might help ease the tension a bit. When I first installed mine I braided them in way too tight and the tension bumps were a nightmare! Lol I definitely agree to investing in a good set! It makes all the difference!

I've been doing box braids every three months for about a decade. They did a great job installing them, and you're right about the confidence and compliments and conversation starting, but I can't afford box braids in this economy anymore, so I've gotten the dred extensions... I tried to install them already, but it looked terrible, especially compared to the professionally installed box braids. But I think I only had 20 of them, and I don't think I put enough time into sectioning them. I only wore them like that for a couple days. I got a new pack, so I'll have 30 strands, and if I use all of them, and be hyper vigilant about the sections, like you explained I. Your other video, I think they'll be ok... I'll just take my time, and I love these informative videos, and I've been paying attention! Hopefully, my second attempt will go better, and it will look more like yours, or ...at least maybe halfway similar to when I had the box braids... Wish me luck!

I’m getting my first set of synthetics installed tomorrow. I had a pixie cut super short less than a year ago, now it is about seven or 8 inches long but I hate the way that it is growing out. And I have been so hyped on putting in extension dreads that I bought all of the hair and it took me three months to create a full set for myself. Burgundy that hombres into a bright cherry red. I’m going to keep my left side shave because I love it and why not? But I am excited to put in all of them. I made a total of 50. My hair is naturally thin but I have a lot of it so I will see how it goes tomorrow lol

I used to have curly hair that went down below my waist before I got dreads, they shank up to my chin in three months time and were kind of a nightmare for me to maintain in the first few months. Keeping the sections separated, ECT. Just hurt and they didn't look how I wanted them to sometimes (kind of a love/hate relationship) so I finally just cut them off. I had never had really short hair before and now that it's shoulder length I really miss my long curly hair and I miss my dreads and the length they had in the beginning. I made my own synthetic dreads so I can enjoy the best of both worlds without the hassle of maintenance while my hair grows back out to it's former length.

I’m great with a crochet hook and the crochet extensions like the the cell multicolored with the wrap and all that stuff that’s an easy breezy thing for me, and then you can actually attach them With a wig clip so you don’t have to always have the fancy-schmancy ones and you can just add one here or there may be 4566 probably just for fun I don’t know but yeah your dreads look amazing

I’ll do my best to answer all of these! Haha •purchased at dreadful hippie •if you wanted to dye your roots, it would be best to take the dreads out :) •I use redkin shampoo ONLY! conditioner will cause build up and should be avoided :) I was my hair about once a week. I’ll deep wash the dreads every time I move them up (6weeks ish) •washing my hair is normal. I focus on washing my roots/ my scalp really well. The dreads get very heavy so I just keep the weight on my shoulders. •I do full move ups every 6-8 weeks but I’ll touch up my roots as needed (sometimes 1 week sometimes 4. Depends on how well I braided it in haha) •I use a three strand braid to install them :) •when I first installed them my hair was to my CHIN! So short! 6 months later, my hair is to my shoulders :) •I am cheap haha so I always install myself!

Or do i have to cut my hair or order longer ones? Or is there maybe another technique to install them? Thank you in advance🌸

I moved to texas this year, and i believe the harsh water is kinda messing with my hair. Im used to bathing in fresh spring water, and dipping in the ocean almost every day. I didnt use shampoo for over a year. So fast forward to texas and like, my hair is like shedding in alarming quantity.. i dont think it looks any thinner on my head, but every time i would brush, it seemed like i shed an entire head of hair. I freaked out and started oiling/washing/conditioning once a week.. i really wanna get dreads but im afraid my scalp is too unhealthy and my hair will just like, bald out or something lol. Because the oiling keeps my hair from shedding but uhh i dont think its good to oil dreads, from what i understand lol

@nicolepoulton Жыл бұрын
That’s a huge change! You must miss the ocean! The nice thing about the dreads is the natural oils on your head ramp up and start doing their thing after you install them :) I only wash my scalp once a week typically (with my dreads in) and my hair has been feeling so healthy. I totally understand the concern of having the dreads cause hair loss! I was so afraid of that too! My advice would be just as long as your sections are big enough to support the weight, you should be fine! In this pros and cons video (I filmed like 9 months ago) I had 43 dreads in my hair so the sections were very small. Now I only use 32 for my whole head and i still have complete coverage and the sections are bigger so there is less tugging on my hair. You could always try partials too. Either way, hair loss is scary stuff haha and in my personal experience, the dreads have made my hair healthier :)

I have dreads for 6 months now, and my scalp is getting worse and worse... With the pulling of the roots when you do the fixing every 3 months. Then as you mention, the weight and traction when you do a bun... And then I got some red spots when the traction was too much. Sleeping is really hard, indeed.. So I got an inflammation, big greasy dandruff... I put oil it felt good but got worse with the dandruff... The scalp was sooo itchy. All the time. Still is sometimes. Now I use an antidandruff shampoo and a lotion against the inflammation. One big pro: no more hair is falling everywhere! Lol

Lmao i’m so glad I only have half a head of hair to do the other part is shaved or too short, so yeah I’m hoping I won’t be in too much pain. I really wish I had somebody to do the back sectioning for me just a sectioning my hair is super fine like your hair and I don’t know what product to put in my hair that won’t make it gross that won’t make my scalp break out and that won’t be too slippery and I know don’t get them don’t get your hair wet don’t have clean hair when you put them in. I think I’m gonna use my BedHead manipulator on dry hair because I washed my hair last night. How often do you wash your hair?

I don’t add any products when I install. I just use day 2-4 hair and that works for me. But clean hair works too! (My hair is just too slippery with clean hair) You just want to use products that are water based so they don’t cause a ton of build up! I wash my scalp about once per week with my dreads installed! Sometimes I push it a little longer if I can but I basically just go off of the comfort of my scalp. Once I start feeling itchy then I know it’s time to wash. But I never have to wash my hair because it looks greasy you know? Like you can’t even tell when it’s dirty because the dreads cover that up. So just go off of how your scalp feels and you’ll be good! ❤️

Do you deal with many comments of people telling you it is cultural appropriation? I’m getting loc extensions this weekend and am trying to prepare myself for this.

NEVER IN PERSON! in real life, people are complementary and curious but online there has for sure been some hate lol Just remember why you are getting them. For me, I think dreads are beautiful and great for my hair, never anything bad so I just let the hate roll off :)

Sleep: Get one of those silk bonnets. Loose in it but off of you. For the spit on them when brushing your teeth, I do that with my natural hair lol
