How to put weave on dreadlocks

To begin with, buy natural or synthetic extensions. Then, sew them onto your dreadlocks and blend them in. Repeat the process until the dreadlocks are all attached to the extensions.

Purchase synthetic dreadlocks

Some people prefer synthetic dreadlock extensions as they are quite inexpensive. Plus, synthetic hair tangles easily, thus making dreadlocks faster. Still, it’s impossible to use heat products on these tic extensions. Otherwise, they will melt. You can’t perm or dye them.

Tip: You can purchase them at specialty beauty stores or online.

Purchase natural dreadlocks

If you want to put extensions in your dreads and love dyeing hair or using heat products, then buy human hair extensions. You can treat them like your natural hair. Still, remember that these extensions are more expensive than the synthetic ones.

Tip: Find natural extensions online, at Layla Hair, or other trusted beauty supply stores.

Avoid ordering double-ended dreadlock extensions

They look like long dreadlocks with a section that is un-dreaded in the middle. They’re the right choice for those wanting more volume in the dreadlocks. However, the extension weight will pull on the scalp and cause hair loss if you install fake dreads too tightly. Have these extensions attached professionally if you want them.

Neglect /Natural /Freeform

The neglect method is the first which I shall touch on. This method requires you to do nothing. nothing!. If you leave your hair along for long enough it will in fact form deadlocks. To use the neglect method successfully you simply need to stop brushing and conditioning your hair.
