dred extentions? yes or no?
dont bother
hair grows thats how yo extend them u letthem grow
most who get extentions hatre tghem they feel like dead weight ..no connection to them they feel fake and like theyh dont belong
just wait another 9 months and they will exrend themselves
then 9 years and they are very long
after 90 years u will need 3-5 people to help you cary them
90 years isntthat long to wait..its only 1 lifetime

Here is a previous posting I found for you, hope it helps:
yes the products work wonderfully but heres the thing about extentions u kinda need estabk]lished dreads to anchor them onto and they also will feel like extentions not connected to you like yor real dreads
another option is to do a hair wrap on a dread close to the crown, then extend the wrap a ways past the en of the dread so its long enough to wrap around the dreads
once your dreads are more mature u can comb out a couple inches of the ends fraying them out then push the 2 ends togrther till the dresed parts meat and the loose hairs mesh togetger extending on either sde over the dreaded parts then wrap about 4 inches an inch above and below the loose hairs till they fuse

when i had my first set of dreads i attached two extensions from my own hair.even though it was mine actual hair i couldnt get the fake/dead thing feeling out of my head.extensions stayed like mmm 3 weeks maybe?? i remember that every time i was leaving bus/train i had to check seat if there isnt lying my dread..resting your head can be such a nightmare lol.never ever
thaat last line struck me profoundly.

I always though dread extensions were stupid, and I still do. After reading this article though, I realized they also, are evil! http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/429544/20130130/hair-today-gone-tommorow-south-african-thieves.htm
yea theres a whole new black market for dreadlocks extentions that involves mugging them for their dreds ..its evil

Heart-wrenching story. Those dread thieves in South Africa did not steal anything that can be replaced, they stole this mans being, they stole a huge part of who he is, they stole his identity and they dented his soul, and the list goes on. I can't imagine the feeling of being mugged for lovingly grown 10 year old locks. At least those assholes did not steal his life & kill him.
