Adding a friend's lock into my hair

A friend that used to have dreads cut his all off and saved them. He is giving them to me and I would like to add one or two into mine. We've been best friends for a long time and I was best man in his wedding. We now live a considerable distance apart and this would be a way to keep that feeling of closeness. Would the best way to add his hair into mine be just through wrapping with hemp? I tried to crochet a regular extension into the end of one of my shorter locks, but it fell out a day or two later. THEN I read about the dangers of crocheting -_- *sigh*

so now i won't be doing that anymore but I want to put his in mine still. what has worked best for you guys and ladies?

I used cotton thread to tie my dreads in together. twist and ripped the loose roots to the loose ends, and wrapped the thread around and tied.
