How are you keeping the hair attached on the wrapped ones? I find mine are pretty loose at the start of the wrap.

hmmm...im not exactly sure how your doing yours, but i just back comb the hair enough before i wrap it around then i kinda crochet it into the dread pretty well to keep it tight while i seal it. i also overlap the wrapping so they are kinda all bound together and wont come undone.

I've thought about using a felting needle to kinda tack the hair down. Wonder if that will help?

And i'm loving these dreads! What brown is that? *Edit nevermind..i see it now! <3

I lack a felting needle and need to get one, but yes that would definitely help while making wrapped dreads :]

I love these dreads, from the dark brown and blonde color combo to how the wraps are placed. They look natural, artistic and beautiful. Great job!
