installing double ended dread extensions into dreads

Some people like HUGE hair and order a lot more (i.e. For a fuller look, you may want closer to 60 SE dreads or 30 DE dreads. As far as texture, I can either make your dreads smooth or more 'knotty' and lumpy/loopy.įor a full head of dreads in average thickness (between 1cm and 1/2') installed on average thickness hair, I generally recommend around 50 SE (single ended) or 25 DE (double-ended) dreads. The bulk of dread extensions you will find available in other shops are merely backcombed and twisted which tend to be cheaper as they are quick and easy to make, but they look nothing like naturally formed dreadlocks and don't tend to last as long. Most people can't tell the difference between a well-crocheted dread extension and a natural dreadlock (though they are a bit lighter weight and feel a bit different than natural hair dreads due to the material). Each dread is backcombed, hand crocheted, and steamed by yours truly to create a long-lasting and natural looking extension. I ONLY make crocheted and knotty extensions.

What is the difference between crocheted, knotty, and twisted dread extensions? I also make dreadlocks out of human hair and felted alpaca fiber, though the cost is much more and the colour range is more limited. My synthetic extensions are made of 100% Kanekalon and Afrelle (a type of Kanekalon) fiber which looks amazingly like human hair and comes in a beautiful range of natural and bright colours that can be blended.
