Hair Transformation + New Way to Install Dreads!

[@ch527kerosene]

FAQs (If you have a question, READ THIS FIRST) 1) Songs? Mutant Sorrow by Poztman and Top Rock by DET; as always, links are in the description! 2) Where did I get the dreads? The first set is from Anemi Khold Synthetic Dreads and the second is from Anmorata Dread Design. 3) How many did I put in and how long are they? 33 DE dreads and they range from 17-22 inches long. 4) How long did this take? About 5 hours total, split between three days. 5) Why didn’t I put all 33 in the usual way? I got the second set in the mail after I already put in the first! 6) How do I install them? I have a tutorial up on the first method, and the second method is explained in the video. However, I will be doing updated tutorials for both methods soon! P.S. I say it’s a new way to install dreads, but I don’t *think* I invented it, I just mean it’s new to me. 7) How do I wash them? I have a video on that :) 8) What do I do with them after I take them out? Clean them and store them. They’re reusable! 9) How long do I keep them in? Anywhere from 2-7 weeks, but generally about 4. 10) How do I sleep with them? Just fine :) Check the description for more info! Also, inb4 “you’re high af” because no, I was just very tired and installing dreads after midnight hahaha. Y’all always think I’m high in these! When in reality I’m just exhausted and doing my hair when I should be sleeping.

[@annaliesenixon4080]

ch527kerosene have you got any recommendations for installing synthetic dreads into my thick as fuck hair?

[@thatjess7106]

ch527kerosene are you trying to thicken up your hair by leaving more on the sides like that?

[@chloelouise2858]

ch527kerosene can you go to the beach with them in? im a little worried I'll ruin mine if i do.

[@zeekwilliams9293]

I was waiting for the unnatural hair color part. I was like blonde??? I mean it still looks nice. Then you added the purple so I was like there it is lol. Nice video as always. Thanks for taking the time to show you working for 5 hours. Shows and tells how much effort you do for your looks

[@ch527kerosene]

Haha yes, you can kind of tell how I'm not satisfied with just the blonde! And you're welcome! Ah thank you for your kind words and support

[@THEEMILY139]

i think what i like best about this channel is the consistency, shes found a hair style she likes and shes rocking it long term!

[@AnnastaciaC]

I don't know what it is, but these synthetic dreads look a whole lot better and realistic (besides the color) on you than your other ones. The red was badass but these ones are less bulky. Cute!

[@jacktheripper9370]

This is my favorite so far. Teen dreads with a touch of pink. So pretty. But I love everything you've been doing to your hair. All of them suits you.

[@pimpmysushi]

neapolitan! I always read descriptions!

[@ch527kerosene]

Definitely! I didn't have a crochet hook on hand, otherwise I definitely would. Haha, this is like my MacGyver method xD

[@rixxuriuzaki6906]

Neapolitan!! I love your videos! I’ve always wanted dreads but I’ve been too nervous to dread my real hair so your vids have inspired me a lot!

[@Tellie021]

What I admire the most is your patience ! I could never spend so much time for my hair

[@thelegitcreep]

These ones suit you sooo well!

Thank you!

[@justabunneh6490]

I love the music you put in your videos, I haven't listened to anything like it in over 8 years.. love it

[@PaigeBatman92]

Neopolitan. As crazy as it sounds, I thoroughly enjoy your different styles and looks. Although I'm more partial to popping colors, this set of dreads really suits you. I look forward to more content! 😀

[@tishaflowers2443]

I love these!!! Over the years of watching you, my favorite set you ever did was the white and blood red set! Ugg....EPIC AF!!! I'd LOVE to see you do a full head of mixed dreads. Like 1 or 2 from each set you have!!!!

[@EllieKedward]

Perhaps a bit of a touchy topic here, but with your dreads, do your dreads do you ever deal with hate from people who say you shouldn't have them because of your skin colour? I had debated dreads myself, synthetic or otherwise for myself at one point, but got attacked by dozens of people saying that I wasn't "allowed" to have them because of my skin colour. One person even said if they saw me with them they'd cut off my hair. If you've had people like this as well... how do you deal with it?

[@funnygaming2672]

you just ignore and continue whatever you are doing ...A lot of European add dreadlocks and braids but the media brain wash a lot of black people making them thinking that they need to wear weaves ect plus some old people that are still stuck in the old way that wont hire them... So they bash everything that is not black ,just do you and don't respond and if you really have too ,just tell your ADN backgroung is none of their business and ignore them for good ,if you are in public place you can complain to the security guard or the police if need.

[@bolshiebtch2837]

Tish Fannon I used to do braids in my hair and a few people asked why I was "trying to be black" it's very irritating. Especially since mine were usually bright colours/neon and clearly not done to "pretend" I was a different ethnicity.

[@bluesenpai3650]

I have actually experienced this before lol. I usually ignore them but if I feel like I need to say something, I will. Don't let it bother you, if you're happy with your dreads then that's all that matters TBH... Have fun! 😸

[@ItzGeeLu]

I have gotten talked to about cultural appropriation but I feel as long as you understand the history of dreads then you should be able to debate that

[@lizardfishbird]

I personally haven’t experienced that, but I have friends who have. The fact remains that a lot of countries - not just black countries - have dreadlocks as part of their heritage. The Polish plait, Celtic faerie locks, even the Vikings. Personally, I’m mostly Irish, and part of the reason I started doing synths in the first place was because I love my Irish and Celtic roots, and the faerie lock style is so pretty! I know it’s difficult, but just try to ignore or walk away from people who give you a hard time in a public place. You’re allowed to do whatever you want with your hair

[@bumblebee3478]

This woman has got a very good eye for colour and dimension. Well done.

[@frajeeli]

Neopolitan. Love the dnb/breakcore. Don't know many vlog style KZbinrs that put dnb in their videos. Respect!

Thanks for being there!

[@NinjaBunnieKittteh]

You always look like a badass video game character with dreads and I love it so much

[@nefretitititi]

neopolitan! I always read the description :) this set is my favourite so far, looks very smooth

[@marcelleazevedo2018]

I'm glad you're fine, I thought you were high, but now that I read your comment I'm relieved

[@MaraLunaMusic]

I love these sets together! I love your bright and colorful dreads too but these look so natural but really awesome it's rad!

[@lukemadeley4421]

Hey, love the look. I was a raver 2000-2010. The whole US raver scene is amazing. Been to loads of HDIT events. Nothing about the dreads just the death hawk, have you looked into getting the Wahl Detailer, it's a much smaller clipper and you can achieve much sharper lines. I am a barber so I'd enjoy working on your scalp the extreme looks are my thing. If your interested in an education into the UK rave scene have a look at Tidy Trax and their associated labels. Anyway have a good day.

[@glamberkitten]

I'm amazed that you can put these in yourself!!!! And they look awesome!!!!! 👏🏽

[@bryantaylor2427]

You make it look easy, but it's literally mind-blowing that you can put those in yourself.

[@savannahfortin2961]

The purple/pinks was such a nice touch 👌🏽 looove

[@Guts-k6]

Ur hair is soooo good, how on earth can people have such a beautiful hair

[@Hiumn]

I noticed that your "New way" of installing dreads is much like how Crotchet Twists are installed.. Those are installed after cornrowing your hair in a certain pattern and then putting the twist on the crotchet hook and closing the hook, then you pull the twist underneath the base of the cornrow and knot it so it's secure. Not sure if you knotted it after you pulled it through, but it might be more secure if you do :)

[@ch527kerosene]

Yes, I saw a vid of that method a couple days after doing this! I love that method, and the end result looks so good compared to the way I do it. Knotting would definitely make it more secure, but these specific dreads are too stiff to do so :/

[@klwenz93]

Neopolitan! Love all your videos, and this EDM music you got the rights to play are awesome! Can't wait to see the curly hair when you take them out! I love ALL types of dreads, and I myself am 7 months in to "freeforms" 😁 Keep it up!

[@anaromol8073]

its relaxing to see you putting the dreads on

[@csmith20020]

Neapolitan! Yet another great video. Love this set. They are beautiful

[@katerinafeiglova7886]

Very interesting technique and it looks like it's definitely healthier for your hair than the original technique. I hate the look of dreads but it's definitely interesting to watch.

[@isabellearsenault8240]

Every single set you put in looks amazing on you!!

[@Slailie]

Neopolitan :) I thoroughly enjoy your videos amd watching all the unique things you get to do with your hair! This is a pretty set! it looks more complete with the pink in it I think

[@ch527kerosene]

That's exactly how I felt, too! The pink really tied it all together. Also, thank you!

[@Milanessamandarina]

Your hair grows so fast, i'm curious if it is because of using dreads? xD

[@lizardfishbird]

Mine grows fast, but I’ve found that it grows faster when I have dreads installed

[@brett8460]

Yes, in a way. The dreads act as a protective hairstyle which is great for hair growth because there's no heat/chemicals/etc. being applied.

[@rolanddawson117]

Neopolitan… I would've never thought of your hair looking like ice cream. XD

[@In2_the_jungle]

Can you please do a Dreading for dummies video teaching us how to put dreads in for the first time!

[@carbonartworks]

You'd make a great actress. Got hella looks!!

[@noodlesdoodly]

Diggin' the doubling up on dreads, I'm going to have to try that next time I braid into my 'hawk!

[@RichySteelers17]

Neopolitan, also you have an obsession with ice cream hahaha

[@ch527kerosene]

Whhaaattt?? Pssshh no I don't . . .

[@b.ear.y]

Can you someday maje a video of all your hair transformations???

[@cheri1687]

neopolitan! lol this is a nice look on you, love the red and white look and it had inspired me to do that as my first dread look. But since half of my money goes to my art supplies I am making my dreads myself. I've already done a test run of making a few and they came out great. I'm just worried about them going into my hair since i don't have your hair type, i have a (now) lose afro. Ugh lets hope for the best.! :3

[@V_Grey004]

I love your videos so freaking much. You've inspired me to grow my hair out so that I can have dreads. Stay beautiful! - V.Grey

[@laurenking5014]

Neapolitan lol. i started watching your videos not to long ago, and it's inspired me to try out a new hairstyle. I live in Alabama so hair that isnt "normal" is frowned on. it will be interesting to see how people react to it. thank you for the inspiration.

[@NorseButterfly]

These are beautiful and I don't think the camera does them justice💜

[@pikaboubou]

Glorious! Forever bowing to your perfect hair ❤️

[@tabithathomas8632]

this set looks amazing on you! it blends so well!

[@ch527kerosene]

Thank you!!

[@skophidiam]

Neapolitan :) Looks like the safety pin trick is a nice way to change things up quickly!

[@adelanovakova783]

So, first things first - neopolitan! ^u^ And second, I have been thinking for a while to buy some synthetic dreads (it was you who actually got me interested in the first place!). The thing is, I am not an American and there are quite limited amounts of laces where I can get mine. I would just like to ask - are the wollen ones or the ones made from kanekalon better? And also, I have no idea how to pick my colors xD I was thinking maybe bordeaux, red, orange and yellow? I am naturally ginger, so I was thinking that these would suit the best xD Anyway, you are one of my favorite KZbinrs and you inspire me in many ways. Keep making awesome videos and being amazing! PS: You are really pretty >w

[@DrunkFurYT]

Neopolitan;Did you secure the later-added 8 dreads in any way?? Or just left then as shown in the video? Its an interesting technique and with a bit of fiddling (and rubber bands) might be something I add to my future installation routine!I really like the idea that you could have ~10 or so dreads installed like that which would be easier to add/remove over the month-ish amount of time of having braided dreads in before taking them out! Outfit-matching accent-dreads yes PLEASE

[@chil.dis.gambi.no.5561]

you have amazing hairstyles, you are very creative and original when doing them.

[@1onelywalker1984]

Omg!!! You make it look so easy!! Lawddd ❤️❤️❤️🤟🏻.. love the music !! 🙌🏻❤️ Ps.. I want to know who dislike your videos and why?😒 lol

[@unsmote1560]

Dude I will never have dreads but I always watch these vids. lol. There's just something therapeutic about the before/after.

[@Rainbow-yb7uw]

So in the space of the last 10 minutes I've watched your video, subscribed, bought some dreads and plan to shave the side of my in the morning xx

[@hellbunnycam]

Rainbow5391 did you do it? I plan on doing the same in the future

[@AnaFariaable]

I think your white balance may be off, depending on your camera, it's easy to solve but in case it doesn't have the option... you can correct it pretty efficiently in premiere, using the lumetri color panel. You can either change your bulbs, color correct the final product or adjust the white balance, either way, the content still great so you do you

[@ch527kerosene]

It's not the camera, it's the light bulbs, and I actually adjusted this footage in premiere! But I didn't make it perfect, since I don't really care all that much. But believe me, the original footage is wayyyyy worse.

[@juliawheeler7036]

Your hair looks hella good for how much shit you do to it. Props. 👌👌

[@ShemsuHor1403]

Neopolitan... but we call it "St Pauli ice cream"- since the colours of our favourit team are brown, white and red :-) I love your look- I really wanna try out dreads :-) think I could rock some black ones since my mohawk is dark green. I think it would look rad ^^

[@maryberry476]

Neopolitan. I love your dreads they always look great when you install them. I'm trying to install my first set but I can't seem to get them tight enough at the base of my head. Any suggestions on how I can get them tighter?

[@ch527kerosene]

Thank you! Hmmm. Do you install DE dreads? If so, when you install, do you the criss-cross trick at the start? Where you position the dread, cross the two sections of hair over the middle, flip over the dread, cross the sections behind the middle, and then start braiding? If you wear SE, I unfortunately won't be able to help, since I never wear SE.

[@maryberry476]

ch527kerosene Yes I have double ended. I'm not personally a fan of the single ended but they do look good on people. Yes I do the criss cross but when I flip it over there is always a poofy lump and it isn't up against my head.

[@kkroberts90]

This was probably my favorite set(s)

[@hirohiuu3386]

le neopolitan lmfao xD Love your videos! My mum just allowed me to do the Unicorn Vomit hair and im soooo excited! keep making great videos!

[@leximckay7465]

Have you ever thought of doing two different color dreads split down the middle? that would look so cool on you

[@MakeupByMousey]

they are beautiful! do the purple dreads slide down any using that method?

[@ch527kerosene]

They haven't yet! lol

[@MinxyKitty]

i checked your list of Qs to make sure this question wasn't there lol, but i was searching on amazon for double ended dreads and every package im seeing, it shows the dreads with loops. Do the dreads that you buy have those loops in them? cause i cant corn row my hair i sadly dont know how lol and i would much rather install the dreads with the process that you show in your videos it seems more simple that way.

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

Nice job. I like the way you installed them. I seen several videos none of them looked realistic but yours. Maybe use clear rubber bands next time instead of black. Thanks for Sharing

[@sipid0t]

Concern question. Are you okay? You look kind of a bit yellow, jaundice-like. Hope everything's fine.

[@eonkshabonk]

Deus X probably the lighting in the bathroom. many bathrooms have that type of lighting for some reason, I hate it lol

[@sipid0t]

Sonnenschein I thought so as well. Perhaps it's nothing, just concerned because she looks bit different compared to her previous vids, inside the bathroom even.

[@eonkshabonk]

Deus X its nice of you to care about her 😊 so many people are so mean, and its always nice to see someone have some humanity!!

[@ch527kerosene]

+Deus X That's very sweet of you to say something! However, it's just the lighting. I tried to color-correct the yellow out, but I couldn't quite get all of it. Believe it or not, the raw footage looks way worse!!

[@sipid0t]

Sonnenschein watching her hair, her designs, her passion in doing what she loves.. brings happiness to one's heart. All the best to her and all of us.

[@MegzLife]

she should try do her hairstyles attempt, of when its in the process type look(semi in production) or the one when its post-dreads(when she takes them off and it gets krinkly and curly)... i think those would be refreshing than always the dreads. Either way, still cool.

[@littlebambambi]

I'd love to see some SUPER long 28" dreads one time! Obviously not if they're too heavy though haha!

[@MakeupByAnnki]

Neopolitan😋 When you installed the first set, do you twist your hair around the dread all the way down?Or do you braid them together? It went it fast that i couldnt see it clearly🙈

[@ch527kerosene]

I start by braiding, and if one piece of hair gets too long I twist it around, then continue braiding when the pieces of hair are equal length again.

[@MakeupByAnnki]

Okey, thank you so much for replying😊

[@lilmammamona4938]

omg I love it that pink makes it even cuter

[@sarahn.2296]

Neopolitan! I'm so jealous at how healthy your hair looks since it's that white, I have naturally black hair and went blonde last year and couldn't get it that white without damage :(

[@SKYLARxINxTHExMAKING]

Neopolitan! Also, those dreads are beautiful!

[@ameliaambroz5467]

Can you do a dread collection video saying lengths, makers, and which are your favorite. It would help me a bunch I'm really wanting to get some synths but don't know where to start

[@mossycryptid6446]

you're always so pretty no matter what you do its amazing

[@Coolg01]

I'm interested in seeing a video on how you store your dreads and if you have any tips.

[@NyxNamor]

Neopolitan. :) I must admit I always find your installation videos very cathartic to watch. I find it utterly fascinating, and dreads look amazing on you. There are days I wish I worked in a setting where dreads were acceptable, but I suppose I can be happy just having my falls for the weekends and belly dance performances. (Btw, thank you for introducing me to Mutant Sorrow! I have a new song to practice isolation drills to, now. :) )

[@ch527kerosene]

Ah that is really cool to hear! Thank you for saying so

[@popsicko6493]

Did you just use the safety pin to thread the pink dread through the base of the original set of dreads?

[@ch527kerosene]

Yup, exactly! Normally a crochet hook is used for things like this, but I didn't have one on hand at the time.

[@popsicko6493]

ch527kerosene Ah OK. Thank you for replying 😊

[@mindy6293]

wow! such an easy way to add in extra extensions. next month I am gonna bite the bullet and have my real hair dreaded.

[@meganmurphy6936]

Omg your hair was such a beautiful colour before the dreads the dreads r dope too though

[@natscm8861]

Hi, question ☝️, how long is the must that you can keep the same dreads for each installation?

[@gwenstacy7808]

"neopolitan" ... I use this "slip in" method to add extra pencil thin dreads after that initial install where I find that my hair has slipped a bit and then I need some more fullness. :) I also know that several people with permanent knotted dreads will add fullness with wool or synthetic dreads this way - into the section near the top where it hasn't matted to the scalp. :) I like the color mix!! I can't tell in the videos sometimes it looks like you blanket stitch and sometimes it looks like braiding. do you use both?

[@ch527kerosene]

Yes, I used both :) And that's cool to hear you do this, too!

[@momin9739]

I think im addicted to your videos..

[@brandonmclaughlin4585]

Do your dreads give off a lot of glowing color from a black light?

[@tdplus4able]

I saw how long you keep the synthetic dreads in, what determines it? You said 2-7 weeks but usually 4, is it because of hair growth and or to fully wash the hair as well? I'm trying to do all my research on synthetic dreads because I really love the look of them and want to try :) Thanks for all the videos and info!

[@sophishere7654]

This video is really good like the music choice and editing and did you get a new cam? it looks great and you look stunning as always! i really enjoy your vids

[@NemesLady]

OMG you look great, you have a lot of patience, I will not be able!

[@dreadshop]

Awesome! You look gorgeous (as always) with this dreads. This method is too easy isn't it? I'm using a Quick Beader Tool for it. Just a bit safer maybe. But hey, there are always several ways to come to a good result :) Oh, and neopolitan :)

[@teresasantos2930]

This is prob my fav color combo! Love them!

[@Daveonarave]

Loved every second of this - superb job! :)

[@mariahlane3776]

love your style and the choker too

[@ashlynkate8998]

Okay, I've gotta ask. Have you ever had a problem with dandruff with the dreads in? If so what did you do for it? From someone who hopes to get dreads but has a dry scalp, i'm curious.

[@EduardKnight2]

So those elastic bands doesn't break for weeks? Did it came with the dreads?

[@omgfarore]

neopolitan! I'm curious, with the way you put the extra dreads in, is there an issue with them being 'loose'? It looks like you didn't secure them in place at all, and I'd be worried about accidentally tugging one and having it slide out...?

[@thalia7592]

I love ur hair styles!!
