This will always be my favorite video on installing dreads because your video is the only one I've seen so far that shows people how to permanently install dreadlocks into already existing hair instead of just braiding it in. You're amazing at what you do 💖
I bought a ton of extensions for my miserable existing dreads that were easy enough to put in but when I was done I realised I wanted to turn my short bangs into dreads too... this is really saving my life!
Would love to add as a person with partial locks, and long hair that after so long your dreads will naturally keep to themselves. I'm 2 years in and I no longer have issues having to constantly separate my straight hair from my locked hair!
Make sure you get a residue free shampoo! It's key for keeping your dreadlocks happy and healthy and clean. And always DRY YOUR HAIR. You don't want any water getting stuck in there and creating dread rot over time. My biggest issue was getting the root area fully dry. Best of luck on your journey! I had two sets of dreadlocks and learned so much about them each time. 💕 Here if you ever have any questions!
Hey, nice to see you going back to dreads. A long while back I watched your videos about the synthetic dreads, and I made some and put them in. I liked the look so much that a few months after that I got actual dreads and def still have them.
I was looking for a good clear easy vid to show my friends list, I just finished dreading a set up for my 4th go at perm locs. Thanks for taking the time to post this.
It defiantly adds more volume and length. And I think all people with thinning hair would appreciate it. And short hair. I went from short blonde to long brunette dreads. .this girl is a doll and a babe.
They look great, and I like the diameter you chose. I haven’t seen human hair dread extensions done, only synthetic; I like the look of human hair more. I’m sure a lot has to do with the time and care you put into making the individual dreads, but I LOVE that you can bleach and color the natural hair!! Thanks for sharing ☺️ Also, you should get a thimble for you sore thumb, it will help!! 👍🏼
Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much!! I just bought dreadlock extensions and have been looking for tutorials. This was perfect! I have shoulder length hair and had no clue how to attach them. Thank you again! I enjoy your videos!!
Do you ever take the little rubber ties out, cut them? Thanks great video, I put mine in today, I shaved a deathhawk so I only have the center hair and I used 30 DE braided in locs 💙🖤🧛🏻♀️ luv it so much
thank you for this! I have dreads for roughly 2 weeks now and I'm growing out my undercut for 5 months..I really don't want to deal with the look of these short hairs in the back peeking trough anymore🙄
I am currently looking for some human hair extensions to do dread lock extensions. I know that after dreading the extensions they become a shorter. So how did you determine the length of extensions that you needed? In other words, How much should I be prepared for the extensions to shrink after dreading?
Hi I've just done the unthinkable. I cut my dreads as it was killing my neck and felt they was sucking the life out of me.i kept them.abd thought I could see them on a bun thing top knot ? Got any ideas...? Has I just found out I'm going to be a nan. It was time I threw in the towel. But .....I changed my mind x
You make it look so much easier than it really is lol my arms were so tired after messing around for ten mins with one and it wasn’t even secure so I gave up lol
You've done a lovely job. It is so much harder to do on your own head. What length extension did you use? Also, I know you mentioned in a previous video wished to preserve as much length as possible but if you stay loose when you begin the extension is is a bit easier to attach.
I had to cut off a dread that started good and after a year ended up MEGA thin at the base. I'm planning on doing this extension thing when the hair grows more, I will redo a short chode-dread and hopefully will be able to attach a dread extension so it catches up to the rest.
i recently added extensions to my dreads that were extended from their creation. i think i did a decent job attaching the new extensions although when i rub my fingers on it, i can feel that there is a tiny loose gap between the new extensions and the existing dreads. i am using a crochet hook to bring the hair from new extensions into my hair but is it possible the two may never fully intertwine?
SARAH WILLSHER I was just about to ask the same thing. How do you remove them. I am about to do mine and want to know how to remove them just in case, ya know? Be prepared lol
Silly question but do you take the rubber bands out? Also can you do this with like cheek length hair? My top is cheek length and my sides and back are shaved.
I’ve been looking for a video like this. I have short, thin, soft hair. It is kinky. However, you’re technique gives me hope that I can install my extensions myself. Did you ever remove the rubber bands? What size crochet hook are you using?
I just added one dread to my head today! How long did you leave the rubber bands on your dreads? I’ve read take it off right away, a week, and let it break off on its own.
I made synthetic dreads and they itch my neck and face idk what do do because I spent so much time and energy on making them and I really want to wear them but I can't because it's so itchy

I appreciate that! thank you!

Me too

@@virtuallyvegas999 same!

Yay glad it helps! 😊
The only video i found with the most useful and informative content. Keep it up, lots of love from Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you! Lots of love
I'm part of a dreadlock page and I'm totally showing this video cus ppl ask all the time how to install perminant dreads!!! Thank you
Would love to add as a person with partial locks, and long hair that after so long your dreads will naturally keep to themselves. I'm 2 years in and I no longer have issues having to constantly separate my straight hair from my locked hair!
Would you ever do a full head of dreads? I feel like that would suit you so well!
Gurl i had to hunt through UA-cam to find your video again but so worth it. Only video with exactly what i needed to see! Doing mine tonight 😍
GIRL!!! My mind is BLOWN! How amazing you are this is like magic!! I need this in my life hahaha

Thank you sweetie! Xo
How would I remove them? Without cut hair off.
Hey, nice to see you going back to dreads. A long while back I watched your videos about the synthetic dreads, and I made some and put them in. I liked the look so much that a few months after that I got actual dreads and def still have them.
I love your creativity! So awesome!

So glad it helps xo
I did my dreadlock extansion, with your videos. Thank you.
So helpful. Started doing dread extensions as a business! It has really taken off!
Thank you for posting!!
My cousin has asked me to install her dreads after wearing them with a costume and this was perfect!
It defiantly adds more volume and length. And I think all people with thinning hair would appreciate it. And short hair. I went from short blonde to long brunette dreads. .this girl is a doll and a babe.
After I finish it all can u take the rubber band's off?
I was wondering this too? Lol
I’m sure you can just cut them out😊
They look great, and I like the diameter you chose. I haven’t seen human hair dread extensions done, only synthetic; I like the look of human hair more.

Yay! Your very welcome, glad it helps!🙏🏻
Me too.. My only question is after I'm done with doing the extensions can I take out the band's? Or no?
I didn’t know you could dread synthetic into your hair?? 😮 how long does that last??
How do you take them out when you need to readjust?
Crap, you scared me with that “fine toothed comb” thought it was a razor blade 😱
Same!
It's a head lice comb
So glad you explained the nice piercings. I was so sure you didn’t have them in the last video I watched 😂
How did you dread the new growth after adding the extension. I like your method of attaching the dread the best.
ua-cam.com/video/5TlMNt5VHrY/v-deo.html here my video on maintenance :)
Do you ever take the little rubber ties out, cut them? Thanks great video, I put mine in today, I shaved a deathhawk so I only have the center hair and I used 30 DE braided in locs 💙🖤🧛🏻♀️ luv it so much
how long after the locks are created can you dye them?
This is a different technique than what I e already learned but best believe I’ll be doing just this next time 😊❤thank u!! For sharing!!!
You are just so adorable! Your voice is very soft and soothing, also you have a very kind face. Like you are a gentle person. 😊😊🌺🌺
💖💖💖
This is what I'm growing out my undercut for!
Wooooo
Did it ever end up working out? I currently have an undercut and want dread extensions.
Me too! Soo looking forward to install them!!
Entiendo que las gomitas después, se quitan, no?? 😊
Can you use a thumb thimble a soft one?
Can you do this with synthetics?
thank you for this! I have dreads for roughly 2 weeks now and I'm growing out my undercut for 5 months..I really don't want to deal with the look of these short hairs in the back peeking trough anymore🙄
🙌🏻🙌🏻😆
yane I feel that I was trying to find a way to handle my undercut so I dreaded it and was like waaaaaaay too short lol
Could you possibly keep synthetic dreadlocs in for years ?

So how did you determine the length of extensions that you needed? In other words, How much should I be prepared for the extensions to shrink after dreading?

Got any ideas...? Has I just found out I'm going to be a nan. It was time I threw in the towel. But .....I changed my mind x
You made this process so simple. Thanks!
have you tried using a rubber thimble to save your thumb?
Someplace where i can buy it extensions like that, really i want!
You make it look so much easier than it really is lol my arms were so tired after messing around for ten mins with one and it wasn’t even secure so I gave up lol
So how do you maintain (wash) these, how long can you keep them in, and how do you remove them? Thanks so much!
Shampoo in the shower like normal focusing on the scalp. The longest I've worn them for is 6 weeks until they need rebraiding.
You've done a lovely job. It is so much harder to do on your own head. What length extension did you use? Also, I know you mentioned in a previous video wished to preserve as much length as possible but if you stay loose when you begin the extension is is a bit easier to attach.
I miss my dreads. There fun to have and watch, they change every day after the first month.
How would we detach them? Just curious before I commit.
Can i do that on DE dreads?
They look fab! I might give it a go.
It looks so cute on you!
I adore you and your videos.
Finally someone that doesn't just braid the hair around
Glad ur back Tessa 💜 love watching ur videos. Love ur hair in dreads and ur new piercing xx
I had to cut off a dread that started good and after a year ended up MEGA thin at the base. I'm planning on doing this extension thing when the hair grows more, I will redo a short chode-dread and hopefully will be able to attach a dread extension so it catches up to the rest.
Would this work with wool or just human hair? I am stuck in between doing my own actual hair and doing extensions like this
Alex Raplee wool dreads are a thing. People make them.
When you attach the dreads to such a short length, the hair growing out will dread as well correct?
The hair that grows out would need maintenance every 4-6 weeks with a crochet hook :)
That’s awesome what’s the shortest length hair you could add dress extension too ?
im planning on doing my own dreads soon, does your hair get damaged after taking it out??
A couple deep conditioning treatments and it's back to normal. :)
i recently added extensions to my dreads that were extended from their creation. i think i did a decent job attaching the new extensions although when i rub my fingers on it, i can feel that there is a tiny loose gap between the new extensions and the existing dreads. i am using a crochet hook to bring the hair from new extensions into my hair but is it possible the two may never fully intertwine?
I have 3B curls, I am having dreads coming in the mail and a little nervous. Any advice?
What happens to the rubber bands you used to gather the hair? Do they eventually break and fall out or do you cut them out?
Take them out after a couple days :)
@@TessarrGoad thank you so much!! When I get my extensions in, I'm going to be trying this method!
@@TessarrGoad TYSM!! You have answered every question I've had in my mind.. Except one. Can I use synthetic dreads too? Or no?
If u do it this way does it have to b done with real hair dreads? Also how do u take them out if u want to change them xxx thanks really need help
SARAH WILLSHER I was just about to ask the same thing. How do you remove them. I am about to do mine and want to know how to remove them just in case, ya know? Be prepared lol
Silly question but do you take the rubber bands out? Also can you do this with like cheek length hair? My top is cheek length and my sides and back are shaved.
Yes remove the bands when finished they are only for the sections. Hair can be 4 inches long for attaching dreads.
Can this method work for a little longer hair
The longer the better!
I so badly want to put my dread extensions in but every time I try I just can’t seem to do it! So annoying :(
Looking good, keep your eye on them, the extensions might fall out after a while, mine did when they were baby's :)
Is it possible to wash hair with them in?
Yes ofcourse !
But how do you get them out
Yay! This is definitely what I'm going to be doing with my undercut. They look amazing. Thank you for sharing!!! 💙💜
you make it look so easy! I really want to do this too!
Edit: i did 4 rows and they look so neat! Love them!
can this be done with synthetic for all of us that can't afford the human hair dreads?
Yes ofcourse! Heres a video I made making them with synthetic Kanekalon. ua-cam.com/video/O_ad0_h2kdw/v-deo.html
Rid synthetic fabric dye works on synthetic hair
i was also wondering about your new piercings. did you make a video of getting it done? i don't think i've seen a piercing like these before.
Il be making a q&a video on them soon! :)
What do u recommend to soften new locs? Im afraid the boiling water thing will melt them!
If they are made from human hair use conditioner.
Love your dreads!! 💙✨
for how long will they stay in your hair
yes
You make it look so easy. I can't do it 😣😣
Do you remove the rubberbands?
OK, listened more, and you'll remove them in a few days
Did this damage your hair and how long did they last until they started to come undone
No damage if done correctly they are permanent:)
can i add extentions without a Crochet needle?
Synthetic dreads Are braided in... that would be an alternative..
Do you cut that rubber band after?
Yes remove rubber bands once the dreads have been made, it’s just the help with the sectioning :)
It's temporary aur permanently...for how much time it last
It depends on how well made the dreads are! My current dreads extensions are still going good a year later! :)
I’ve been looking for a video like this. I have short, thin, soft hair. It is kinky. However, you’re technique gives me hope that I can install my extensions myself. Did you ever remove the rubber bands? What size crochet hook are you using?
Wicked glad to help. I used a 0.75mm crochet hook. And removed the bands when finshed they only for the sectioning :)
How often do you wash your hair?
Hi, what do you mean about the dreads to "mature"? I'm a total noob in the dreadlock theme :D
They look amazing on you girl!!
You have a lovely personality 😊
how long do they last for
is it permanent?
If installed correctly they can be permanent
@@TessarrGoad oh that is very cool,
I'm thinking about getting some, cheers for the info and the great video
Did you buy them dreadlock extensions?
Made them! The video tutorial on how to make dreadlock Extensions is on my UA-cam channel :)
How long do these last? Thanks!!!
If done correctly they can be permanent:) but if you change your mind dreads can be brushed out:)
@@TessarrGoad can I use synthetic dreads too?
Thank you so much!
I just added one dread to my head today! How long did you leave the rubber bands on your dreads? I’ve read take it off right away, a week, and let it break off on its own.
Awesome! Remove the band after a day :)
Your lobes look really healthy! How do you maintain them?
Jojoba oil
Looks fantastic! My son wants this done with extensions I will give it a go :-)
This was very informative! Thank you!
Che misura é il ferro?
omggggg you helped meeeeeeeeeee i love you so much rn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do you take them off?
Brush them out :)
I made synthetic dreads and they itch my neck and face idk what do do because I spent so much time and energy on making them and I really want to wear them but I can't because it's so itchy
It is the Lye in the hair. Do an apple vinegar wash on them and that will reduce the itching. I use EZ braid hair and it has ZERO itch.
@@brendalittleton4574 so I can use my synthetic dreads? Yay
Did you buy the extensions already dreaded or did you lock them up yourself?
i made them myself, theres my video tutorial ua-cam.com/video/ZE6HXe9ONvI/v-deo.html
Love your hand tattoo. And this is an amazing tutorial.
How thick are your dreads?
About sharpie pen thickness :)
