How to Install Synthetic Dreadlocks on Super Short Hair Tutorial

[TheDoorscs]

How long was the hair in this short install?

[doctoredlocks]

@TheDoorscs About an inch. :)

[TheDoorscs]

@doctoredlocks Thanks!

[weepingmidwinter]

I understand that it is not recommended, but is there any method of permanently attaching kanekalon locs to ones head?

[doctoredlocks]

@weepingmidwinter As extenders or to the scalp? Nothing should ever be attached to the scalp itself.

[weepingmidwinter]

@doctoredlocks Oh no lmao, I knew this black fellow who had kanekalon dreads put in his hair and they stayed permanently, I was wondering if there was a particular way to do that with silky straight hair.

[bigjugs666]

can single ended dreads go into short hair as easy as the double ended ones?

[doctoredlocks]

@bigjugs666 Not typically

[bigjugs666]

@doctoredlocks ok thank you

[MzVonVirus]

@bigjugs666

they can at the same length of hair as in the vid, but DE's can typically stay in better. I find my SE would tend to slip out more

[TheDoorscs]

Great video, and LOVE your hair! I was just wondering, if I were to do what you just showed on this video, how much(about) would it cost to fully dread my head? I'm thinking of getting dread extensions, and really need some info about it! If you could reply, it would help me alot! Thanks

[doctoredlocks]

@TheDoorscs It really depends on where you get it done. We generally charge 40 an hour for dread work.

[TheDoorscs]

@doctoredlocks Thanks, and another quick question: How long would you recommend my hair to be for an installation of single ended dreads? Or overall what type of dreads do you recommend for very short hair? I've shaved my hair and i'm planning to grow it out very long. What do you think?

[Mr28896]

Is braided hair extensions (as on your website???) suitable for making these dreads????

[doctoredlocks]

@Mr28896 Yes! :)

THAAAANK YOUUUU. I'm installing dreads to give my hawk some time to grow out and I was worried I wouldn't be able to install them on the short sides. YOU'RE SO WONDERFUL! :D

[doctoredlocks]

@JAMIELYNNnj Yay! You should post a pic on our facebook when you get them in! It's just /DoctoredLocksInc

[JAMIELYNNnj]

@doctoredlocks Definitely! :)

[instantmonsters]

Very useful info, thank you!

[EmoElmoOnHigh]

Annnd do you all have a video on how to put dreads in a clip-in weft?

[doctoredlocks]

@EmoElmoOnHigh We do not. You would just follow the directions for a normal clipset, but dread the extension hair instead of keeping it loose.

[EmoElmoOnHigh]

Would this work with a single-loop dread, or does it have to be like the one used in the video?

[doctoredlocks]

@EmoElmoOnHigh We recommend double enders for super short installs

[DeviChandra93]

Is there a way to do this with SE?

[doctoredlocks]

@DeviChandra93 We recommend DE's for super short installs

[sea207]

how long do they stay in the way you installed them?

[sea207]

how many rubber bands did you use?

[doctoredlocks]

@sea207 it varies depending on your hair. At least 2 per dread.

[doctoredlocks]

@doctoredlocks It depends on how fast your hair grows and how tightly they are installed. Anywhere between 1 to 4 weeks is typical.

[sea207]

@doctoredlocks ok goood i have really short hair i am gonna grow it out a little bit more, but my hair is like a pixie cut so,..

[hotAboutSnoW]
