Hey everyone..

Hmmm, I dunno SE lol...I guess we will see  

Have you considered just installing double ended extensions? It just seems to me like the versatility of being able to change them out easily may be more suited to you, especially if you grow bored of your hair easily. If I wanted the dreadlock look without the commitment or waiting, that's definitely the route I would take. It's just a suggestion.😊

My hair is already dreadlocked, but I had thought of adding temporary extensions too (double or single). I think they might be too much hassle though. I'll look into it more. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a question about maintenance. She said to come for a session after 10 weeks. What should I be expecting at that appointment?

To put it really simply:

Don't go.

K, I'll see. I'm only a month in, and I'm ok with how they are now. If things get too sloppy though, I will have to do something. I just wasn't sure if they just do more crocheting or what. I don't know what to expect. 

That's exactly what they do. It's unnecessary and only damages the hair more.

extremely true

people only get extensions  when they are young and short and too weak to even support them

they should be at least 8 months old to be well established enough to extend

by then they are nearly done shrinking and will start to grow again in just months

by then you waited 8 months experienced the shrinking. got through it all and now its just a lil bit longer and they will be extending themselves month after month year after year

Yeah, I wish I could just let my hair go all crazy and run barefoot through the woods, but....I just got a new job position, new boss, and a raise. I deal with the public in a medical setting, so I need to look neat and clean. However, I can just tidy my dreadlocks myself at home with a needle (not crotchet). I have read how to do that, and it sounds like it is not damaging. I'm not worried about roots etc, mostly just having a general, overall, tidy appearance for work. If I can control the strays, and gently tie these locks into a neat bun, I will be OK, and I think I can forget about the extensions. I'm beginning to just let that whole idea go. It sounds like more hassle than it is worth right now, you guys are right. It would cost lots 'n lots of money (she quoted me $1000 for synthetic, if I want human hair I have to buy that myself on top of it), and I can imagine it adds alot of stress to the dreadlocks when they aren't fully matured. That is a very good point you guys have made. Thanks for all the helpful advice. I am sticking around the forum, but I hope I won't have to bug you guys anymore. You've all been very patient with me, and I appreciate it.

$1,000 dollars???? Fuck that!!! Like How much per hour is that?

And for a hair job that will probably not last longer than about 2 months.

Really good chance they will look weird after a while.
