My very first set of synthetics~ *may be pic heavy*

Post by IvyDryad » Mon Apr 11, 2011 5:22 pm

Hello guys! In between exams and other schoolwork I have finally finished my very first set. I'm planning to use it for a half or 3/4 install (Have noe idea what to call that :lol:), and need some feedback on them!

I made a total of 37 double ended dreads, some are very chunky, while others are more "uniform", but still a bit bumpy, just the way I like them. I have 7 accent dreads. The main colour of this set is rusty red, while the accents are in autumn mix, emerald green and gray. They are slightly different in length, as I want the autumn mix ones to be the furthest up my head. On to the pictures!

And now I'm installing these. :D *excited*

Thank you in advance for all your C & C!

Wow, they look amazing! :)

These are gorgeous :shock: I really like the gray transitional ones, they're perfect, and the green looks so good with the rest of them... I love them!

Great job!!!!! Can't believe it's your first set. Really lovely color choices, and I love the mix of textures.

These actually look like real dreads compared to other synthetic dread hair extensions. I thought for years that my brother's wife had real dreads until she told me they were extensions. Whoever you purchased these from did a really good job making them look authentic.

I think she made them herself, unless I totally read the whole post wrong :lol:
and I agree, they're beautiful and really natural-looking :)

I've made them myself, hence the critique-section ;)

And thank you so much everyone! :D
