SE Dread install help, please. My boyfriend needs advice.

Post by Brainpill » Thu Nov 18, 2010 5:26 am

Hey guys, Ive seen many a site and tutorials on how to install a SE dread but this is just to find the advice I couldnt.
My boyfriend installs my dreads for me and he does an awesome job. My hair is now longer then when we last braided and Im wondering if you guys have any advice on braiding in a dread with longer hair. Its not super long, only shoulder length, but much longer then when it was 4 inches long. Hehe,

ALSO he would like to know of a better way in securing the dread when he is braiding, any advice there? I can hold the loop of the dread to the base of my head to kinda help but reaching behind my head for hrs is very painful.

Any ideas?
Or maybe a better way to start once he pulls the hair through the loop?
Thanks ladies!

Awesome, im sure he can get the hang of doing that.

Now just for securing the SE dread at the base before he starts or as he starts so it doesnt slide down and is pretty close to my head. This would be awesome.

i take the section and split it in two, then thread one through the loop from left to right, and the other through the loop from right to left. thus you end up with one section of your hair sticking out of either side of the SE's loop, and it holds the dread as tight to the head as possible.

:)

make sense?
