Install Synthetic Dreads / Dreadlock extensions, different methods
There are various methods that you can use when installing your dreads. Which method suits you depends on various factors.
First: do you choose Single or Double Ended Dreads? The installing techniques differ for this.
Secondly, it depends on your hair length which method will be the best.
Installing Single Ended Dreads
You use a separate technique for installing Single Ended Dreads. An Install Tool is very handy here! In the video below you can see how the technique works for installing your Single Ended Dreads.
Install Double Ended Dreads in short hair
If you chose Double Ended Dreads and you have short hair, then the basic technique is a nice method to use.
Install Double Ended Dreads in medium long hair
If you have opted for Double Ended Dreads and have medium long hair, choose the "French Technique".
Install Double Ended Dreads in very long hair
Do you have very long hair? Then there are different options.
It is useful anyway to use Dreads in the length of your own hair length.
Option 1:
Install the dreads with the basic technique and put a sturdy elastic after a small piece of braiding. Let the rest of your hair hang between the dreadlocks. This gives a playful and natural effect.
Option 2: You work your hair away through braids of your own hair hanging between the Dreads. With this method you combine the "French Technique" with making braids from your own hair.
The right sectioning
Now that you are familiar with the different methods available for installing your Synthetic Dreadlocks, it is also important to know how and
why you need to make a good hair sectioning on your head.
