What IS all that?!

What IS all that?!

Sarah says.. "That hairpiece is actually sort of an accident. I cut off all my hair and couldn't hold up everything I wanted to wear for those shots, so I ended up tying a bunch of random knots until it would stay on my head long enough for a photo shoot. I am wearing a pair of loose falls in front in red base with neon violet and hot pink accents. The back part is a pair falls that are about 1/3 dreads, 1/3 braids, 1/3 twists in red, burgundy, hot red, neon violet, purple, and I …

Tutorial: How to Make Leopard Print Extensions

Tutorial: How to Make Leopard Print Extensions

We do not recommend using this tutorial on real hair because of the need to tape the hair down to a flat surface to be able to draw on it. You can use this tutorial to make other patterns as well, like zebra print or polka dots. Abstract patterns work better than definite shapes. I've tried making heart and star print extensions and the results were less th …

Once again, though, the hair must be kanekalon -- if you have manufactured dreads, they may be made from 100% synthetic hair or a blend and will not curl as well as kanekalon. This tutorial does not explain how to make the dreads themselves. For instr …
