    i love how in each step, you give so many different way to do it, depending on people's tools, style or just what they got on hands. Just the part about steaming, you showed half a dozen way to do it, but also what to do if you don't have a steamer, of an iron, and the different way to use each tools. Like wow.

    Thanks so much you have demystified on how to separate a jumbo braid. My first time was a very large rats nest as no one told me to comb it out first. I have worked with switches, braids etc since I wa 8 & never had a tangle problem until using the 26" jumbo braid. I appreciate your time & effort helping the less knowledgeable. 😅😊

    Please do a video on the bead work, particularly those seed beads. I love that look.

    I’ve watched so many videos at this point and so glad this came up in my recommended, I have hair waiting to become DE dreads. How do you combat the frizziness?

    Great work. If you are crocheting that hair, how long it takes you to finish one?

    This video is great! Question, if you want the extension longer, do you just add more synthetic hair in as you back comb or?

      There are quite a few methods to do so. Either go about it with the transitional method (it's easier to just look it up on UA-cam than explaining it here) or you use the staggering method which would be two strands of kanekalon placed so the first third (or whatever length you want) of each strand is placed on top of each other and fixed, either by making a loop (for single ended dreads) or fixed in the middle of the parts that have been placed on top of each other and both remaining sides get back combed, so it becomes a double ended dread. The latter is really hard to imagine, so you probably would want to do a little google research on "staggering kanekalon". Hope it helped at least a bit.

    I dont know if i could make them myself cos the sound of the hair being rubbed/back combed setting my teeth on edge. I will have a go though cos i really wanna make my dreds then fit them for first time ever.

      She said it’s kanekalon hair, 100% synthetic.

    But you’ve lost all your length back combing like that. For whoever wants to keep the length softer and more layers of back combing lets you keep all your length. Slowly building up the core. And you’ll have less wild fly always. Also I will say that I have never had any residue on my iron from sealing. You should definitely be holding your twist tight with the other hand while steaming instead of letting it slack. Honestly those ends are pathetic and need to be snipped off
