Dare To Wear
Dreadlock Hair Extensions
Dreadlock hair extensions are increasingly popular for people who want an alternative look. From African Americans to Afro Europeans and Anime to Gothic fans. These hair extensions come in all lengths and all colours.
Which Colours To ChooseThis pretty much comes down to the look that you’re after. But rest assured you can by hair extensions for dreadlocks in the full spectrum of colour – and you can see from the colours on this page that they can be ordinary or extraordinary!
How Much Hair Will You Need? This comes down to how thick you want your hair. When I’ve worn dreadlock hair extensions I tend to stick to 2 – 3 packets of synthetic hair as anything more become more bulky than I’m comfortable with.If you’re using the jumbo wool dreadlocks then two packets (each containing 20 dreads is more than ample). The key thing to remember is that double ended dreads count as two dreadlocks on your head so if there’s 20 in the packet that’s 40 dreads on your head.
How Are They Attached? You can buy dreadlock extensions for weaving, in which case,
net weaving
is handy attachment as is is
track weaving.
Bonded weaves for dreadlock extensions is not suitable.The standard method is the
same for braiding ordinary hair extensions.
Fold the lock in two, use a section of your own hair as the third strand and begin to braid.
If you have afro textured hair you can just braid to the end of your hair and leave it as the texture will mean it doesn’t unravel. If you have European textured hair then a small rubber band can be placed at the end of your growth hair in order to stop the braid from undoing itself. The other method is to use two sections of your own hair, wrap those two sections of your hair around the middle the dreadlock to hold it in place, (keep the other half of the dreadlock away from this part with a clip). Begin to braid using the bottom end of the dreadlock. Once you’ve braided to the end of your own hair, you can then seal it with a rubber band and unclip the other half of the dreadlocks and hey presto you have two dreads from one braid!
Dreads are a great way to jazz up your look. They require care like any other hair extensions and you can learn about
