This video demonstrates how to achieve a tight, compact braid when installing single ended dreadlock extensions. A section of hair is pushed through the loop of a dreadlocks extension. Push the extension up to the scalp and split the section of hair in two, which along with the extension, will give you 3 pieces. Now braid down the length of the dreadlock extension and secure with a heavy duty pro elastic or thread.

Single ended, dreadlock extensions are installed by pushing a section of your own hair through the loop at the top of the extension in this case, we're using a handy little latch tool which pulls the head through. This is available on our website. You could also use the pointy end of a splicer comb once you pull the section of your in here through the loop split, the section in half. This will now give me three pieces and effectively what we're about to do is do a simple braid down the length of the extension so you'll see that we're working to the right hand, side of the extension and we're not moving the extension as such, but rather Wrapping the hair around it so just to clarify a bit further when it's extensions turn to be weaved into the middle, we're not actually moving the extension. This is going to allow us to keep the braid bunched up nice and tight, and the center of the brain will run down the side of the extension. It kind of looks complicated but, like I said it's effectively just a basic braid, but rather than putting equal pressure on all three pieces, the focus is on the hair and wrapping it around the extension. The section of your own hair should be about 2 to 3 centimeters squared at the scalp is equivalent to about an inch or in each square. You can, of course, pre-plan these sections and adjust the size depending on whether you want more or less strokes on average. For a full head, most people will end up with about 15 dreadlocks for our harp head 30. Dreadlocks is about right when she can braid no further secured with the thread or a heavy plastic. Our elastics are available in clear and black for more information on the extensions and our installation tools go to dreadlocks comm, a you

Anita Taco: For anyone unclear on this braid, it's also called a blanket stitch. My question is how do you hide the ends of the natural hair that's left below the elastic? The stylist that installed mine left over an inch of hair just hanging out. The color matches the dread but it's still obvious and driving me crazy.

MoonmomaJ: Best video ive seen explaining this ! Thank you

Krystal Jones: thank you. this helps so much and especially with the amount on average to get.

This user is dead: thank you very much!, this video helps a lot!

Rae Everlark: I recently installed a set of locks (only used 20 of the 60 bought some reason) and the loops at the top are really obvious. How do I fix that?

Donna Macdonald: If you put your hair into Cornrows and then use a crotchet hook to feed the dreads through the cornrows it looks much nicer and you don't see ANY of your own hair. I use to do it this way but hated seeing my own hair braided in as it looks so un natural.

Brenda Martinez: Will the natural hair start to dread itself?
