I know some people are giving you grief about fake dreads but honestly, I like the idea of being able to have dreads, not be committed to them nor ruining my hair. As a hairstylist I think this is a great alternative and I assume they're reusable so that's a bonus as well 😊
I agree 😊 and my friends who have real dreadlocks agree and loved them too. The only people who are ever offended about them are people who don’t even have them 🤷🏼♀️
I’m all for doing whatever you like aslong as nobody is harmed and yes they’re reusable ☺️ they’d probably look better after a few wears, a bit more messy etc!
yes !!! and if you have real dreads and get lice, you have to shave ur head !! that’s a fear of mine
Haha oh gosh! Both of those would be traumatic
girl that’s not the point of dreads
Says who 🤷🏻♀️
Leave them in longer than 3 Days! All that work, you gotta enjoy the fruits of your labor! It looks super cool 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing too, never knew it was so attainable to do yourself. Guess I figured it was too expensive and had to be done at a salon. Seriously though, you look amazing with them. Matches your aesthetic, perfect color match, executed very well (very impressive considering you did it completely solo), and super unique, very long, can’t think of anything I don’t like. And I was hoping you’d leave some out at the top, you have to to blend them in. I went to cosmetology school so I know a good job when I see one 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Again, leave them in girl! You don’t want to regret taking them out! 💕💕💕💕
It called a ladder braid for those that don't know
Thanks
In the UK they use different terminologies.
I love the sort of trial and error of this, like as you find more helpful techniques throughout the process you share them with us and I like that! They're a perfect colour match, woah!
Aww glad you liked it thank you 😊 at the start I was like ok.. going to do this nice neat way.. by the end I was like right ... I don’t care how it looks it’s been hours and my arms hurt 😂😂
They really are!!
I did the same thing a couple years ago but used double ended dreads, it was definitely a fun experience but I wouldn't personally do it again. It was such a pain to wash my scalp and I already had some scalp issues at the time so my head was constantly itching. They looked good for the first 2 weeks and then started to fall out (I did them myself as well so that's probably due to how badly I put them in) I got a lot of compliments at first though and I don't regret trying them out! It was really nice being able to just get up in the morning and not have to fuss about with my hair. They look so cute on you! Keep us updated! 🖤
They look amazing!! The partial dread looks great!! I just got my first set and I'm glad I watched this. Im so excited to put them in! Thank you so much!! -- Patricia from the US ❤
Thank you 😊 aww bet they’ll look great! Good luck
Well done you, I admire your perseverance... and I’m all for faux dreadlocks.... you’ve given me the push I needed to have dreadlocks in my hair. 👍
Aww thanks 😊 yes definitely do it! ☺️
I love them. It looks good with the loose hair on top. Wow its awesome.
Thanks 😊
Praying for you precious one. Thanks for the very detailed, well done video.
Thank you
I love this kind of video style, where it seems like you've really become comfortable with the camera, and you're being yourself. Your videos are getting better every day! :)
Also love the dreads 😁
Aww thank you ☺️ I appreciate it.. I’m trying!! I just need to get better at filming in public or around my friends when we go out now haha.
And thanks!
I have been wanting to experiment with fake locs for a while now.. I could never ruin my hair and commit to actually doing it for real.. Plus Idk if I could pull them off.. But I think urs turned out great, and the color match is amazing! Glad u did a video on the process.. My hair is shorter than urs so.. Idk.. I'm really thinking about it.. I am always changing my hair, so being able to just have dreads when I want them is such a cool concept! U know I always love ur videos.. Thank u for sharing!!
I know I've seen this a year late but girl you did an amazing job! I'm a hairdresser and always enjoy trying new hair things so I've been making my own synthetic dreads and learning installation techniques and you honestly did a great job you should definitely leave them in longer as they suit you! I don't know if you noticed but I notice when I have synthetic dreads mixed in with some of my own hair left out my hair tends to tangle so a tip for anyone using synthetic dreads mixed into your own hair definitely use a spray in leave in conditioner at least once a day and braid your hair when sleeping to avoid tangles and breakage of your own hair.
I'm gonna go check out the rest of your channel now :) xx
Aw thank you I appreciate it 😊 I’ve worn them quite a few times now since this and got better at it each time. Thanks for watching
I did this to my hair and made them myself for 2 years in like every different color after having real dreads and then having to take them out was the worst experience for my hair ever so I loved the fact I could have dreads then take them out with little damage. Taking them out takes a long time too but it was all worth it!!! Love the color match and keeping the front hair out!
Aw yeh I bet! And oh it took agessss taking them out 😓 haha thank you 😊
wow this honestly seems a lot easier than I thought it was. I appreciate it because its like impossible to find a dread stylist that has an availability. You'd seriously never know that dreads have become so popular honestly, most books or closed or you cant get in for months so I'm going to try to hack it myself! thank you!
It’s so easy! Takes a longggg time though sadly but the more you do it the quicker you get 😊
I love your channel!! Thank you for sharing this! You look so good with dreads😍🥰🙏🏽
Aw thank you I appreciate it
Wow they look amazing. You really suit dreads. Never knew you could get extensions.
Thank you 😊 yeh they’re great
You look so natural in dread! These look gorgeous on you! The color match is perfect . Im amazed this was your first time... never would've known!
Aww thank you that’s sweet ☺️
Looks gorgeous!!! Stunning application well done! I love it
Aw thank you ☺️
Wow, you have soooo much patience! I would've loved to see the video of you taking them all out, probably took ages lol! And of course you rocked it, gorgeous 😘
Haha oh trust me you wouldn’t it took 4 hours and it was just my mum using a piece of metal to find the clear bands 😂 thank you ☺️ 😛
I think the top out looked really nice. I actually have real dreadlocks and have for years I love dreadsuk . I get my shampoo bars from them. I wore synthetic dreads for years braided in as well. All that work , hopefully you’re still rocking them. They look incredible on you
Yehh I regret not just sort of leaving it half and half.. I think I’d do that next time!!
I took them out 😩 but when I’m off for a week in summer I’m going to get them again for sure! Yes the shampoo smells so good!
I love your method I am getting ready to do mine exactly how you did yours with extensions and I am a guy so I am just doing like a high top dreadlocks thank you for your video I hope my hair goes well and you are absolutely beautiful.
Thank you and glad it helped
They suit you so much! They look amazing!
Aw thank you 😊 I did like them a lot
1 of my friends has real dreads and part of her real hair is not in them and it looks really cool. Her hair is also layered like yours too. Yours looked cool with part of your hair not in the dreads too! 🔮 The final result looks REALLY good!!! I love it!!! 🔮💜🔮💜🔮💜
Thank you 😊 yeh I think next time I would leave more of my hair out on the top
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you! I'm looking forward to trying this out.
Aw thanks 😊
Wow!!!! Amazing. They look fantastic!!!! What a great colour match too.... xxx
Thanks! And I know .. crazy similar.. I can never even find extensions this colour. No idea how they did it. X
They look beautiful 😁 You did an amazing job 👏🏼💜
Aw thank you 😘
a nice little blanket stitch braid, i find they work much better for single ended dreads like this anyway and they definitely work better on really long hair like yours.
Yeh I agree .. looks neater too ☺️
The wrap you did instead of the normal braid is actually how you should install the dreads. Good job figuring that out!
Ah awesome thank you 😊
Oh wow I love these and your neck tattoo! I had real dreadlocks for a while, and sadly they had to go, this is a cool idea, I’m going to look into them, I feel like this will take me hours too.
Thank you ☺️ and Oh it does take hours but I love them! You should try it
Wow your hair looks amazing 😍 I've been looking into dreads extension thankd for the video
Aw thanks glad you like it 😊
Love them!! I love dreads, they look great on you
Thanks! ☺️ glad you liked them
Youre beautiful with or without dreads. I think they look really good on you!!!! Fake or real, I LOVE that you stepped outside the box and did it!!!!! I Love your content!!! Cant wait for the next video!!! 😁
Aww thank you 😘 and I’m glad you liked them!! ☺️
This is brilliant!!! I love it
I just ordered a set from them today I’m so excited
Ah nice! 😊
they look awesome! you did a great job and they suit you so much x
Aww thank you ☺️
I loved your hair .. I know this video is like a year old but wow ! I am an older lady and you have sold me on this to try beautiful 💖
Thank you 😊 I appreciate it
Wow! What an Amazing job you did! It looks fantastic! Hope you got some good sleep,take care❤️
Aww thank you! You know what I slept awfully hahah they were so sore 😩
You look absolutely smashing🥰 hair colour and make up looks amazing 😍 thanks for sharing your video.
Thank you 😊
They look amazing!
Thank you ☺️
I love the idea of trying these and not 100% commiting to getting dreads, I think you done a awsome job 🖤✌
Thank you 😊
Omg thank you for this!!! I’m so sick of my self consciousness about doing up my dead shitty hair these days- I thought dreads were the key but was too scared to commit!!! This is PERFECT alternative!!
Aww great glad I could help 😊
You did amazing, great effort and well worth the time spent... Looks amazin!!! Xx
Thank you ☺️
@@LunaLily you are so welcome x
They look cool! I dig em.
Thanks ☺️🤘🏻
They look so good on you. If you do try to keep them in when you have to go back to work, maybe putting them up in a kind of wrap around bun style would be okay. I think it looks really great and still professional when I see other people using that approach.
Yes! Great idea, I second that!
Yeh .. I’d definitely try it next time.. they were just so thick and chunky I didn’t really have any idea what I was doing.
Next time I’m going to get them put in professionally and get some tips! ☺️
Love the look, a true must try for me!
Thanks 😊
Patience of a saint.
Yeh ... I’d say it took me about 6 or 7 hours altogether (mini breaks included) 👀💀
Love it thank you for teaching Bc I’m getting some this week ❤️❤️
Ah hope they go well! 😊
Hair game on lock! Did a great job!
Hahah 👌🏻 thank you ☺️
I love your natural hair, my own is super thick and frizzy and tangles easy, I also love the dreads on you, but your super pretty so you can pull it off.
Aw thank you I bet you have beautiful hair!
WOW, props to you for doing all that yourself! They turned out great!! I had the fake hair braids quite a few years ago, luckily a friend put them in for me! I wore them for 3 months.. Your absolutely right, best thing about it is not having to do your hair in the morning!!! hahaha
Haha thanks! Glad you think so .. oh nice, was your hair not tangled when you took it out?
It was awful & took just about as long to take them out as it did to put them in, lol.. It did a number on my hair 😕 but it was totally worth it to not have to do my hair for 3 whole months, hahaha
Oh jeez haha .. yeh it took me a few hours to take them out too 😊 and haha true! I’m gonna do them again in summer
You are so pretty! Thank u for posting this video! I really want to try this fake dreads to see if my work will like it. If not, then I can take it off!!
Thank you and yeh you should try it! 😊
The dreads looks really good! Love how it looks!
Thank you ☺️ glad you liked them!
@@LunaLily I am considering doing partial dreads. The same style with the loop at the top, but I have waist length hair, and I'm a little perplexed about how to do it. I'm going to have someone help me, but would I braid my real hair all the way down each dread? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated 💕 your hair looks lovely 😊
Yeh I assume you’d just have to do it the same way but braid even further down unfortunately!
Love your top and nails girl!😍
Thanks 😘
They look really good!! My faux locks are in the process of being made, my hair is long too but I’m using the crochet method to install mine. My hair won’t be shown at all. I will braid my hair into several corn rows going back, then loop the locks through. I like the look, but temporary is fine for me. I love my hair, so this is good for diversity & versatility. Also, all that work & your makeup is still looking gorgeous!!
Ah amazing .. I’d love to have them put in permanent but I’m a wimp, maybe one day 😝and aww thanks haha
@@LunaLily you’re welcome! & I don’t blame you’ I’m a wimp too! Plus I love my hair being free, it allows for versatility & so many different styles.
Great job it looks beautiful!!
Aw thank you 😊
I think it looks incredible!
Aww thank you 😊
W🖤W they look soooo good!!! You’re so adorable!!!
Thank you 😊
Ur eyebrows are ABSOLUTE GENIUS!!!! I LOVE THEM🖤🖤🖤
Haha.. thanks I think
Great job Luna Lily... your hair looks Great
Thank you 😊
They look amazing
Thank you 😊
Omg you make it look so easy!!! Hi many did it take do you remember I want dreads now 💯
Haha thanks hmm about 35 maybe with a bit of hair left on the top
Girl I LOVE these on you!!! Keep them!♡♡♡♡ It suits you amazingly! ♡♡♡
Haha thank you! They are out now sadly but might get them again in summer ☺️
These look so amazing on you! 😊
Oh thank you! ☺️
Your work can’t dictate how you wear your hair, dreadlocks are a completely normal and natural and look very beautiful xx
True! Thank you
Looks great!! Great job!!
Thank you 😊
Well done, i could never sit and do all that! They look absolutely gorgeous, you really suit them! :P x
It did take ages haha .. thank you! ☺️
Looks beautiful!
Aw thank you 😊
You look phenomenal with dreads 🖤
Aw thank you 😊
Your dreads look great. The color matches your hair perfect too. Good job.
Thank you, I currently have them again .. can’t wait to not have a heavy head 😂😂
@@LunaLily I put braids in my hair recently & had to remove them the next day. Sore scalp.
The first time I put these in I had the worst pain that I took them out a day later .. this time I’ve had them in for about 2 weeks now and I love them, no pain at all.. very weird!!
You did a great job, they look really good,especially for the first time doing it.
Thanks!! Yeh I don’t think I did bad at all.. will definitely get them done professionally next time to see the difference.
Those look awesome!
Thanks! ☺️
Awesome on the dreads and your eye look was too, I like the idea of synthetic dreads, cause I'm hair challenged, Can't get it to grow real long it starts to curl in on its self.
Thanks 😊 aww yeh haha mine sort of seems to stop growing at a certain length too.
Awwww...hey Beauty, you look so cute with dreads. Good job👍 I would just put them up in a wrap for work...if you don't want to take them out. Great color match. And do you ever have patience! Thanks for sharing💜
Thanks ☺️☺️ I already took them out 😩 but I’m going to get them again in the summer time when I’m off work.
They were a really great colour match!!
I love these types of dread’s
Thank you ☺️
I LOVED this! These look amazing in your hair! 😍
Aww thanks! ☺️ gonna put them back in in summer

Thank you 😊
Looks great on you lovely! 💕🌙⭐️🖤
Thank you 😊
it looks amazing!!!!!
Aw thanks ☺️
Thank you very much ! Looks gorgeous ❤
Thank you 😊
I have the best tip for your back and arms... And neck too! Ok, so you do most of your work by feel ya? Lie down on a bed or massage table where you have use of your arms past the plane of the back of your neck.
You can lie on a massage table dorsal side down, with your arms extended above (below). Test it out! Please let me know if that helps with your fatigue... No reason to fight gravity 💜🤘
Wow definitely a great color match. I've heard of dreads UK & want to try some of their products. I've heard they are an excellent company. I might just have to order some extensions myself because those look so well made & definitely have to try their dread shampoo. You did a great installment job hun
An amazing colour match.. didn’t think they would be so similar! I’ve worn them 3 times now so for a total of about 6 months and they still look great 😊
Thanks
No no girl dont play yaself you look AWESOME...I love the way it turned out...and your makeup is gorgeous 😍
Aw thank you, I’ve done them lots of times since and leave more hair out ontop now.. looks much better 😊
I love them well done you. It’s inspired me to try them as I am so unhappy with my hair since I had chemotherapy it’s is now so fine it’s depressing, 🙏 it does not look weird at all. ❤❤defo leave in for longer though ❤❤
Aw thank you 😊 that’s great! I hope they can make you feel better about your hair if you try them
If I wasn’t subscribed I definitely would lol you did an amazing job I’m a licensed stylist and I thing it looks amazing!! I know it takes a lot no time but if you had someone help you it would have been way easier!! This definitely would look awesome for a festival, I’m going to one in Vegas in June so I’d love to have these for then!!
Great job!! Suits you!!
Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Haha aww thanks 😘 yeh having someone else would of been way easier 😊 atleast I know now for future!
You should try it! I’m going to do them again in summer I think ☺️
Wow those dreads are incredible and what a great job you did putting them in. It does seem a shame to take them out after a few days because of the effort you put in but I see your point about work
Thank you glad you liked them 😊 I know 😩 they’re already out. I might put them in in summer time when I’m off!
I needed a tutorial to add a few faux locs to my pirate costume and this was perfect ty
