HH dread extensions

Vibrata, the person who did that had fairly mature dreads and to be
honest I don't think it would work with new dreads - you need
something fairly firm to latchhook the extra hair through. And the
method you suggested, adding extra hair as you backcomb will
almost certainly leave a noticable tidemark once your own hair starts
to grow, as there will be a greater volume of hair in the dread than
can grow out of your head, that part of the dread will be much
thicker than the new growth when it comes in. And also if you do find
it looks odd you will be stuck with it if you perm and backcomb it in.
I had natural dreads for over twenty years and used synth hair to
lengthen mine.
What I did was make a kind of double ended dread with only one half
of the dread sealed and backcombed and the other half, the loose
hair half I braided around the natural dread till I got to the bottomof
it, then backcombed and sealed the leftover loose hair, wrapping it
around the end of the real dread as I sealed to hide the join. This I
could leave in for three months like regular synth dreads and then it
was dead easy to remove and reapply as required. You can use this
method to add interesting colour effects or custom blend the synth to
match your own in whch case it's almost invisible. The advantage
with using this method is that the braiding around your developing
dread willl actually help it to dread in the same way that thread, wool
or rattail wrapping would.
There are methods using human hair which I've used on my clients
with afro textured hair but I tend to use the type of hair sold as 'Afro
Kinky Bulk' and it doesn't really work on caucasian hair - it's just too
different in texture.
The 'Vibrata" method is great though once your dreads are
established, and you will find your hair grows really fast when
dreaded so you will get your length back in no time.

Hello, firstly i think if you try combing it in you will end up with a big loose mess of hair :(
There was a lady of on quinns alst year who extended ehr own dreads.  here is what she did:

She dreaded the extension hair whilst NOT attached to her head, unpicked the end of the natural dread, put the extension dread up inside the ends of natural hair and latchhooked her own hair through the extension dread.  This was seamless, and looked great! Just like her real hair
