First single enders!

Post by radio-trash » Thu Jun 03, 2010 10:05 pm

Hello! I just joined the hair extension form not so long ago, Although I have been a long time lurker. I've been making dreads for a couple years on and off but I would love to get the opinions of some fellow dreaders.

I have just finished a couple sets, trying to use up some extra bags of kanekalon I had laying around my room. These are my first ever attempts and single enders.

The first set I wore for a few weeks, I didn't seal the ends too crazy because I wanted them to be soft :) (or maybe I was lazy? Hahah oh well they were for me!)

I think the second set turned out a little better:

Thank you for looking!

The first set could use a little more sealing at the ends, but other than that I think they look great :)

Let me put it this way...

If I had blonde hair, I would totally wear the blonde > blue, yellow and green transitionals and flaunt them silly :D

Mmm I'm in love with that blonde set with all the colours. Those would A-ma-zin-g under a black light!
But I think the first set would look really cute as a set of curlies. But I'm just a huge curly-dread fan.

I just figured out ends...today and I found that if you seal them really nice and tight you can always dip them in boiling water for a second or two and it'll soften them up. But that's with the wispy ends I've been trying to perfect for the longest time.

Thank you so much for the kind words you guys!

Candied_Angel, I will have to try that with the ends next time I install them! Curled dreads are always SO cute. I think that one set would look pretty good curled too, or perhaps wavy. ;) I made a set of dreads for my high school grad and curled them at the last second!

I'm not so sure about how I left a few on the top layer straight. But that was already like 2 years ago now. Back in the day, lol.

Rats, now I'm being all rambly and nostalgic.
