How to Install DE Dread Extensions - The Braiding Methods

Open me for A TON of extra info!
Special S/O to Tez from TezManiaTV for her install tutorial I learned from, found here:    • How I braid in double-ended dreads  

How long does you hair have to be to install this way? The min. recommended length is 3-4 inches, but I’ve seen people install this way on 2 inch hair. For shorter, see further down in the description!

Is there a max length? Yes and no. If you use the regular braid, your hair shouldn’t be too much longer than the dreads, but it can be by a little bit. If you use the blanket stitch, there’s virtually no maximum bc of how short the braid ends up.

Whether your hair is straight, curly, wavy, or any texture (to my knowledge) is fully personal preference (although I've been told it's best to install on afro texture using the protective crochet method, linked below).

The dreads are from Tyto Dreads!

THINGS I DID NOT MENTION BUT WILL BE COVERED IN A FUTURE VIDEO:
Layout and sectioning
Section sizing (for now, know that a good guide is the the size of the bend or two times one dread end!)
^Those are topics I had originally included in this vid but I was all over the place trying to explain, so I’ll be redoing it as it’s own video!
