dread extensions
Dread Accessories
I would love to hear advice on this too! My friend Beth had the MOST gorgeous dreads I've ever seen in my life when we were in college, and she started hers when her hair was only about six to eight inches long, then added extensions in after a couple of weeks. I didn't meet her until after everything that was in her dreads was all her natural hair, but I saw many photos of the in-between and it looked pretty good. She said the weight helped her dreads "learn" which direction to grow in, too, whereas before her short ones would cover her face and drive her crazy.
I really wanted to add extensions to my dreads also, as my hair is a lot shorter than I would like it to be after my head was shaved last summer for surgery. So please, anyone that has advice, do tell! And Mercy, if I can get some more info from Beth I will certainly share it.
