Yes...Couldn't find sectioning videos where the hair stylist was disciplined and patient enough to ACTUALLY DEMONSTRATE, row by row, into sections , the entire head as you did in this video. I hate the sectioning part, because it's tedious and takes agonizingly longer than I'd hope to expect, to have it all in and done, so you can rest your arms and get out of the bathroom...eventually. So, I appreciate that your video wasn't time lapsed on sectioning and this allowed me in that time to visualize how my head was about to look, It encouraged me to be patient, that if I visualize the grid, then do all the boring sections, then the rest goes quickly... Neat to watch your entire look change! Inspired by your awesome cotton candy pink dreadlocks! Thanks for making this video! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
OMG I can't explain how happy I was to find this video! I have been wearing dreads for a year now but I still have issues with my install thank you so much for showing how you do the back of your head!!! And the tip of how you did the last 2 pieces in the front was so helpful!!!!! I can't thank you enough!!!!!
Ive had my dreads for three months and instal them myself but you have given me a great tip to spray them, it hopefully stop all the little fly aways that pull and hurt so bad so thank you xxx
Thank you so much for this ! I just got my first set, and just installed them.. i will be redoing them in a few weeks before an event because i know i didnt lay them properly 😅. This was so helpful. Do you have any tips for getting them to lay flat? My top steand likes to kinda stick up a bit. And for a beginner would it be easier to toe everything off first, and then braid (taking any clips, or rubber bands out of hair as each section is braided) or would this be easier to just section as i go ? And how do you know if theu are to tight or to loose? I had a few i had to undo and rebraid because they HURT but also have some that are not very close to the scalp (my husband braided them lol). I am a baby at this.. never had them before... so any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Are your dreads synthetic or wool? I have a little tip in there about spritzing the woolies and rolling them a little to get them to lay down better. Synthetics are a bit more difficult, sometimes you need to boil them and hang them to dry for them to reshape the way you want. For the sectioning, I usually just do rows at a time because that’s what works for me personally! Just takes patience and practice, darling. Keep at it and you’ll be a master in no time! Best of luck!
How do you prevent the bands from snapping? Every morning I'm reinstalling at least 5 to 10 braids. I sleep with a bonnet. I love having my dreads but it's a pain to redo so many every day. Is there another way besides using rubber bands?
It’s not how tight the braid is that matters most, but I find that if you pull the hair at an angle that the dread is not going to normally sit while doing the twist and braid, it can cause unevenness, pulling, or even slack on the root. So if your hair is going to be down, braid it in that direction. If you’re pulling it up or back, follow that direction for the most even install!
I've left my bangs out in previous installs, it's completely fine to do whatever your heart desires! Typically hair will need to be at least 3 inches to get a good wrap around the dread, but that also depends on the thickness of the dread as well. Thinner dreads will be easier to wrap short hair around.
I couldn't find a single tutorial on how to section your own hair, thank you for making this!
Glad I could help! 🖤

You make it look so easy

Thank you so much this part of your video showed me just what to do with the top of my head at a pace I could understand
You are so welcome!

Thank-you dear❤❤❤❤
Beautiful thank you!
That was so helpful thank you!!!!❤❤
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck!
Is that heavy?
Oh no, not at all. Wool dreads are much lighter than synthetic, it’s my personal preference.
@@SerafinaTreasuresCo cuántas te pones??
WOW 😮 thank you
Really well done x

How many did you use for the full head?
I ended up using 43 for this installation, these dreads are on the thicker side so I use less than I normally would for an average set.
How do you manage back? I struggle until I quit.
Just lots and lots of practice! I do this so often that I can almost do it in my sleep by this point 😅
❤ thank you ❤
Hi, how many de dreads did you use?
This set was 53 dreads in total.
How many DE did you use to do your full head?
This install took 53 DE! I average between 45-55 depending on the set and the look I want to achieve.
So helpful! ❤ simple and effective! Thanks!
How do you prevent the bands from snapping? Every morning I'm reinstalling at least 5 to 10 braids. I sleep with a bonnet. I love having my dreads but it's a pain to redo so many every day. Is there another way besides using rubber bands?
You can use thread to secure your hair, I just find natural rubber bands work best for me and my hair! You can find them on Amazon.
When I install my de dreads there's too much slack at the root, no matter how tight I start the braid....any advice? Caucasian fine hair here👋
It’s not how tight the braid is that matters most, but I find that if you pull the hair at an angle that the dread is not going to normally sit while doing the twist and braid, it can cause unevenness, pulling, or even slack on the root. So if your hair is going to be down, braid it in that direction. If you’re pulling it up or back, follow that direction for the most even install!
Hiya, was wondering how short is to short to put dread extensions in? Also is it okay to leave the fringe out
I've left my bangs out in previous installs, it's completely fine to do whatever your heart desires!
Typically hair will need to be at least 3 inches to get a good wrap around the dread, but that also depends on the thickness of the dread as well. Thinner dreads will be easier to wrap short hair around.
Hi, you look gorgeous! How many dreads you've used for the entire head?
Thank you!! I’ve used 43 dreads for this set!
@@SerafinaTreasuresCohi there just to clarify 43 double ends pieces or 43 dreads in total? Sorry if that's not the right terminology 😅
43 double ended dread extensions, so only 43 sections and braids to do :)
It will end up having 86 individual ends as 1 DE = 2 dread ends
I don't know how you do it...I tried so many times and I can't...😢
Oh it just takes practice! My first few installs were pretty messy, you just keep at it and eventually you’ll get the hang of it, I promise! ☺️☺️
Beautiful
