First set installation!

Post by danixdorko » Sat Aug 07, 2010 2:10 am

143 single ended dreads, and 2 double ended.

Image
I ruined some of the ends with a flat iron, but overall not bad?

So we ended up with 118 SEs in. Overall I'm happy with how they turned out for my first install, but I'd love constructive criticism!

I think these belong in Show Offs. They look fantastic! The ends aren't perfect, but they're not bad either :)

=D Thanks guys! I can't move it so I just reposted.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the ends to look nicer, but all in all they're holding up well on my head haha.

These look awesome! I don't have any critique to give.

By the way your makeup looks really nice too :)

how long did it take you to get them in
I just put in my first set and it took me 5 hours by myself
sadly I took them out cause I got sick and I didn't want to deel with them

Great work, but if you want to get rid of the pokies, this is what I do...
Braid about halfway down the section, then wrap the rest up, then down a bit, so there's a tiny length coming down parallel to the dread and the end where you place the elastic is hidden in the rest of your hair. I find this hides your work well.

It took my friend like 6 and a half hours, but we took breaks to get food and stuff so I'd guess probably around 5 of solid braiding. How long did you have them in before you took them out? :( That's kinda how I was with my last set, I had them in for a week and took them out cause I started feeling crappy.

The colors you used look fabulous on you! Great work. Im not usually a fan of orange and yellows but you found a great balance.
Very Nice Indeed
