my first wrappy style dreads...
i am working on a custom order for a friend, and she requested to have some wrappy dreads in her order. i haven't made wrappy dreads before, so i used some leftover neon magenta and black hair to practice the technique before i make them for her order.
these are the practice dreads!
7ct. SE neon magenta wrappy dreads with some black accents.
i think i am getting the wrappy technique... how do they look?
oh! and my boyfriend got me a steamer for our anniversary earlier this month! these are some of the first dreads i have made with the new steamer! i love my steamer, now that i have gotten used to it.

Re: my first wrappy style dreads...
Personally I'd make the black wrappy bits a bit thicker.

Re: my first wrappy style dreads...
there is one dread hidden under some of the other dreads in the picture that has a thicker black wrap than the two in the front.
I am still trying to figure out how much hair is appropriate for the wrap... and how tight to pull it.

Re: my first wrappy style dreads...
I wish I had better pictures of these practice dreads, i had to quickly take these two pictures before vending at an event, just in case they sold... in which they did.

Re: my first wrappy style dreads...
now personally looking at this picture i think from left to right the first one looks like a nice amount of black to red, if that make sense but i would say experiment about with your wrapping so not just one piece of hair maybe two or three i think smaller amounts of hair but three or four wraps look nice. If this doesn’t make sense say and i will find a way for it to make sense but looking at them all they look lovely and nice

Re: my first wrappy style dreads...
i think when you make the wrap a bit "sloppy?" by putting in some X patterns now and then it adds more draw to it rather than just looking like a candy cane
thats my personal taste though

Re: my first wrappy style dreads...
The fun thing about wrappy dreads, is there really isn't a "right" or "wrong". True that typically people tend to use thicker bits for wraps, but don't let that deter you from whatever inspires you!
Some fun things to play with would be using more than one strand to wrap (even if you're only wrapping in one direction), using more than one color to wrap with, and slightly backcombing the hair you intend to wrap with, on chunkier wraps!

Re: my first wrappy style dreads...
i personally like the look of one direction wraps better, than criss-cross wraps...
i might try using more hair for the wrap, plus do some different colors in the wrap.
backcombing the hair that for the wrap sounds like a good idea... i might do that.
i made a few more, i might post a picture tomorrow if i have a chance...
