Crocheted dreads with a new method, wigs and pics!

Post by Nawtali » Mon Oct 11, 2010 6:41 pm

Yo! :D
It's been quite a while since i show offed any creations. I haven't done much hair the latest 6 months. Been working my ass off and therefore i haven't had much time over for fun and creative stuff. :/I'm only working extra on my job now, so there'll be lots of time over for creativity! :) Anyway, here's most of the hair since my last show off. :)



Black partywig as base. I backcombed the wig in sections, crocheted them and attached extensions to them in black and copper red. Also attached loads of braids in various shapes and some wrapped dreads for texture.

Twisted dreads for Johanna.
Think it's around 56 DE's. They're all blends of 2 blonde shades. It's been a while so i dont really remember the exact colors. x)

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Crocheted dreads for a girl on the swedish board. :)
She wanted very natural dreads with rounded tips. This is the first try of my new method for crocheted dreads.
The idea with the new method was to make the crocheted dreads less stiff, and instead more soft and flowy but still very durable. So I gave it a few test rounds and this is the result and it worked out very well. ^^

_____________________________________________________________________________________
An order of skinny crocheted dreads with long skinny tips in Bleached blonde from Buyhair.
They're done using the same method as the ones above :)
Haven't got any pics of them installed though.

Another wig. Also a base from a partywig and done using pretty much the same method as the first wig. Backcombed parts of the wig hair and then crocheted it and extended them. Also added some wefts i made and extra dreads.
The dreads are made using the new crocheted dread-method, then braided in large bunches and finally heated to get the wavyness.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

And the latest hair! 40 crocheted DE's in loads of autumny colors from IKickShins. Also done with the new method (the one i use nowadays).
The dreads are for a girl named Adele and this is the result:

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I'm finishing this show off with how i look atm. There aren't really any changes since the last time, but do please share any ideas of what to do with it. xD


Image

Haha, a rather weird pic. x) But it does serve the purpose of showing the dreads and the bangs together. xD Haha. Ah well, bare with the Dexter-nerdyness.

That's all for this time, hugs to all of you!

Gorgeous stuff, all of it. The first wig is beautiful and the pictures of the girl with the autumn tones are stunning.
What, that? It's a spade.

The technique of extending the dreads using crochet is very beautiful and interesting.

Who is your photographer? They need to be commended here as the photos are stunning.

I know she used a lip pen of some sort. If you want the exact brand and color I can ask her and PM you when i know. :)

Haha, I've taken all of the pictures myself except the ones of Johanna and Madeleine (the blonde and the brown dreadsets). Photo is actually a larger interest than hair atm, it's just that it works great to combine those two hobbies. xD
