Tutorial: How to Blend Synthetic Hair
MaterialsTwo or more colors of synthetic hair (if you’re making dreads from your blend, make sure it’s 100% kanekalon)Patience! :)Instructions
Choose two or more colors of hair
that you want to blend together. There’s no limit to how many colors you
use, so have fun! I’ve chosen turquoise, neon yellow, and lime green,
which will yield a bright petrol green color. I’m using equal parts of
each color, but you can use as much or as little of each color as you
like.

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
How to Make Leopard Print Extensions
The below tutorial explains how to make temporary, clip-in 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

How to Make Curly Dreads
This tutorial explains how to curl dreads, however you can also apply it
to any hair that is made from kanekalon, like braids, twists, or any of
the wide variety of manufactured dreads that are available. 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
