can ya actually get it done at download ? cuz im one lazy **** n would not be assed doing it myself and Ive had bad experience with dreads in the past o_0

 
im sure there would be people willing to install them there. you can either buy a dread kit off someone or buy manufactured dreads if theyre not to last a long time, and take them to the fest with you...im sure if you found some people with extensions in, chances are they may know how to put them in for you, if they had time.

a good start would be maybe asking the ppl who've posted in here. someone might be willing to do it for say the price of materials plus a wee tiny bit since they're not professionals or anything and you'd get decent dreads made for you and installed at probably half the pricew it would normally be. it does take a good few hours to install them though

that too, if theres anyone willing to take on orders for the fest you could maybe make it clear in here/i could add a list of people in to the first post with what theyre willing to make+rough price? im not taking any more orders at the mo, but i know a few girls on here can make them, and i know humperdink does sell...however havent asked her if shes currently taking orders.

I was going to get mine dreaded for the gig but I think I'll just back comb it all. I can get it to stand up stupidly big if I take enough time on it.

i've had braides for the past 4 festivals ive gone to and never had to worry about icky/greasy/hair but this year ive got rid of them and this will be my first festival with free hair thats well on it's way to reaching to my ass, any advice for how to keep it at least clean enough to touch or to not attract flies without restoring to the showers?

dry shampoo :) boots sell it, i cant remember how much mine was.

cheers, i was looking for another alternative though cos that stuff makes my head itch (no matter how much i keep it away from my scalp) so i may be clean but i look nit infested!

oh really? thats not good!!! erm...ill admit i used to put talcum powder in my hair when i was younger to absorb grease if i couldnt be bothered to wash it hahaha...
 
apart from that, im not really sure, sorry. if hairs up in a plait or something it tends to not show the grease *as bad* as if its down i spose, or does it have to be down?

A quick way of doing natral dreads:

1. Get a chunk of hair ( not to big, something the size u would do a small plat with.)
   
2. Twist it really tight and back comb it alittle.
   
3. Once done that turn on your straighteners (hot) and press down hard on the dread for a few seconds. do this all the way down sepecialy on the ends to hold it. (Dont drag the straighteners down the hair like u would normaly straightening your hair. Just press down seperatly on different parts of the dread.)
   
4. Once u have done your dreads a bit of hair spray will work wonders. Also if u have short hair with hair spray u can get the dreads to stand up on end like nails!

U can take the dreads out easy simply by washing, its a great thing to do wen ur going out to a gig!
Enjoy

Just buy dreadfalls [:@]

but then you have to faff about getting your hair up, getting them to sit right and if you want it to look really good then hiding your natural hair that shows.. extensions are soooo much better! it's a shame my job doesn't allow them and the roving makes my head itch so bad cos i love making and wearing them :( c'est la vie i guess!

for any of the guys out there with shortish hair i have 1 word DAX, get ur self some dax wax stick itin the day u go just wake up n ruffel it up everyday

in which case will anyone be wonderful and do my hair in wool dreads please? i will obviousely pay for them :) however im unsure of where to get materials from i would pay extra if you get the materials for me. i have wanted them for a long time tbh just actually getting round to finding a place and getting it done has been harder than estimated.

 

err i have pretty long hair that needs to be quick to get out cos i gotta be back to work straight after download, damn my normal type office job with sensible hair lol

when you say wool dreads do you mean wrapped dreads with wool or do you mean double ended roving dreads like this ?
 
i can make the roving dreads for you if you want. i'm not a professional seller but i like my work and will do it cheap for you lol. it's up to you though.
 
wool wraps are dead easy to do yourself if that's what you're after. all you need to do is buy regular knitting wool or yarn and just wrap your hair. all you need is patience and the help of a willing friend.

as much as double ended dreads can take hours to put in they come out really easily, like within half an hour. all you need to do is snip the elstic bands and pull apart the braids. personally i find single ened dreads to be easier to install and take out though

I did those last summer in my hair!  Except I used Point Five wool instead of synthetic hair, cause it was really cheap and gradiated so they wern't all the same shades. Also really easy as it cut out a few of those stages.
 
 

 
Yeah, I know I'm well blotchy

roving's pretty cheap as well and much easier to make into dreads and they're sooo snuggly and warm and soft. like a pillow on your head..
