Using this method, I was able to spend 2.5 hours on my hair and got virtually the same results as if I had spent over 8 hours on it. Wow! And the thumbnail says "dreadhawks" but this could be done on any style of dread extensions, of course.

I wanted to note that as you can see in the video, I ended up combing the sections as well as smoothing them together. This worked really well and helped the process go faster!
And in case you missed it in the vid, I redid 20 DE extensions and it took a little over 2 hours. Then the reshave took about 20 minutes, so in total (minus the shower) this took roughly 2.5 hours!

Omg so I just started watching your channel and I shave my head similarly and wanted to ask if you've heard of a self-cut-system? If so ignore me from here but it's 3 hinged mirrors you can hang like on the back of your bathroom door so you have both hands free to hold hair and shave any angle easily- they are spendy to buy but there are a couple of tutorials for cheap diy versions (which is how I made mine lol) It's so much easier to get your lines crisp quickly and less annoying because I shave my head like 3 times a month lol

Mack Wylder 1.2mm/16 gauge or 1.6mm/14 gauge is likely to be the width and you'll find someone can easily go between the two; like I can even though I usually only wear 1.2mm. The size of the actual jewellery will depend on the wearers personal preference so unfortunately I can't take a guess at that for you. Hope it helped 😊

@ReggiesCorner 6 жыл бұрын

You can still install synthetic dreads on long hair very easily, just use the blanket stitch braid and a double ended dreads. By using a double ended dread you make it so that only half of your dreads have braids. If you have them created with an ombre effect like I do for my clients It helps hide the braids even more. Good luck!

Hey guys I just did my first faux dread install on myself and it came out pretty good. But, I am strugglinggg with the rubber bands snapping. So, I bought some non stretch thread but I can't seem to tie it on myself while keeping the hair tight. (I don't have anyone to help unfortunately.) Also, lots of frizz. So I'm investing in a silk pillowcase. I'm also having a hard time getting used to not washing my hair as often (I'm super oily naturally). So I am looking at different products to help keep me fresh feeling. Any friendly recommendations or tips would be so helpful!! (I am going to cross post this comment on one of her other videos as well to see if I can get more tips.)

@ashleywelks 3 жыл бұрын

U should get black or clear rubber bands for hair to keep them from snapping--- you should be able to get them at a hair store or dollar store & if you need you can always double up with the rubber bands to prevent the snapping. As for the greasiness of hair I only ever use dry shampoo on my roots of my bangs (which are not dreaded), I am normally used to dry damaged hair so I am not sure how to deal with refreshing of the hair which is dreaded. Hope this helps

wash your hair right before you install. dont use conditioner and use a pure cleanse shampoo. try to make the braid as tight as you can so there is no slippage. i wrap my hair around the base a couple times before braiding down. try to get the begining of the braid as close to the scalp as you can. hope this helps.

They are probably tension bumps from where you have pulled your hair too tight. Try not braiding/dreading wet hair becuase it will shrink and it will cause a lot of tension. Maybe loosen your dreads so they dont put as much tension on your scalp.
