Lots of people have different ideas about how to make extensions and everything but I haven't seen much about washing your scalp while wearing them. So if you're a noob like me and aren't sure what to do I found this tutorial helped

http://www.squeakmachine.com/WindowTuto ... Extensions

It's from Squeak Machine, I love that site, there's lots of good tutorials on there for the basic stuff.

Haha yeah I'm glad I found it before ever trying to install dreads, I wouldn't have had a clue what to do otherwise!!
All the tutorials on the site have good pictures and descriptions, really easy to understand, I love it haha

Oh I thought this tut worked for both :/
On the site it just has the one and doesn't specify what kinda dread's they're for

I'm no expert but I thought wool dreads would be fine just getting a little wet, and you can dry them with a hair dryer on a low heat. I mean they get wet when you're making them so as long as you make sure you dry them well I don't see why they'd get icky. But as I said I'm a noob haha.
