How Many Dread Extensions Do You Need? + the Different Sizes

[@ch527kerosene]

The numbers I gave might be a little higher than what you'll see other people say! I gave estimates on the higher end of the average because it's better to have some leftover than to run out while you're installing. Don't forget to check the description for all the measurements, avg set amounts, and where I got the dreads I showed!

[@tweevlebarr3528]

ch527kerosene I love all the looks you do! 😘

[@Hiikolino]

Am I the that made you do this video? I was the girl that wrote you because of the pastel dreads and the amount :)

[@treyjohnson7552]

cool video

[@laurengraham7369]

ch527kerosene I could swear your a model for cyberdog I saw a model look very similar to you

[@95spades]

Didn't watch, but know the answer - none. Natural or naught baby.

[@oliviadavis8909]

I think it would be interesting to see a haul of all the dread sets you have so far

[@writteninaforest]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@casssimons9319]

You probably know this, but by now she has.

[@KreeZafi]

Thank you for this! I have ordered a full set of 50 standard/medium dreads, and since it's my first set I had no idea if it'd actually be enough. Since you said 45-50 should suffice and since I'm going to leave some fringe and "framing strands" at the front I'm now confident I'll have enough :)

[@ch527kerosene]

You're welcome!! Yes, sounds like you ordered enough, I'm excited for you to get them! Feel free to send me pics if you'd like, I'd love to see

[@ariel-sc4en]

Was it enough?

[@KreeZafi]

@@ariel-sc4en Yes! 😁 I've had them installed twice, and both time I had a few spare dreads left so 50 was definitely enough

[@casssimons9319]

I'm working on felting a set of dreads that I'm so excited to put in!

[@Musiclover-qh2mv]

In case you guys are wondering I have a thicker Mohawk so only my sides are shaved and I recently got a few dreadlock sets. I started my journey on this video and for my hair I estimated I needed 30 to 35 max from this video. I found out for the most part I usually install between 35 -45 dreads every install. I like to have 4 in the front and 2 in the back and at the widest pont I can get 5 I have 8 sets of dreads made by 5 different makers and they all vary slightly in width but only one of those sets have a different install pattern. In saying all this I am never upset to get a few extra dreads to make sure I don’t have empty patches

[@rubyrichiez1298]

Fricken love you, my inspiration for DE dreads! I figured how many I would need by sectioning my hair into small squares and tying them I have a mix between medium and thick and my hair is thin so about 40 actually worked fine for me, thanks for the info!

[@vvenvvs]

I have been following you since forever and you never let me down. YOU HAVE MOST AMAZING SENSE OF STYLE AND YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL. U were always my role model. Thank you for existing ❤

[@sunshynedimples4619]

Just ordered my first set of synthetic dreads from Tyto Dreads and I'm suuuuuuuper stoked!!! Thank you Kero for the awesome tips

[@Dreams.ofAnAbsolution]

She knows de wae of the dreads

[@fable_enthusiast]

I'm trying to do a thick set on my bf and leftover might come in hand for the next set. Thanks a lot for the tips, I've watched your videos for entrainment for years, and know your knowledge is becoming REALLY useful

[@FlaviaJaqueira]

Thank you very much for this video. I'm making my own SE DREADS because here in Brazil it's too expensive to buy. I have a Mohawk similar to yours and I'm making about 30 wool dreads. I can show it if you want. Thank you for inspiring me. Youre gorgeous. ♡

[@daughterofthewolf2252]

I feel I would get micro or thin dreads as I like to randomly have braids and extra stuff in my hair. This is really helpful.

[@tovadetinne2688]

I have a majority of my hair shaved (undercut) and with pencil thin dreads I ordered 30 and only used 17. Hope this helps someone

[@tovadetinne2688]

Also my hair is typically considered thick

[@EssieOokami]

Thank you!!! I shaved most of my head today and have been trying to find someone with an undercut talking about how many they’ve used lol Mohawks seem to be more popular

[@EssieOokami]

Just wanted to update in case anyone else sees this thread, I ordered 40 single ended and used all of them! I can get away with just using 34ish too I just like the volume of the full 40. (Pencil thin btw)

[@irishrose3044]

THANK YOU!!! I’ve been trying to find information on a mostly shaved head, with thick hair. I just made my first set and have 25 pencil thin so I was hoping that would be enough

[@NailedbyNikki]

I WOULD SO WEAR THIS!!! COLORS STYLE AND ALL!!! 🤩😍

[@adribonk5729]

Okay, I have been subscribed for a grand time, and now is the time I want dreads but I really don't know where to start. Someone I talked with does $70 per 10 dreads but I love their style and i dont know if that's a good deal i dont have much money. All I have down is the hairstyle and the size and guesstimate of how many dreads I need. I don't know how to self instal and I havnt checked if any hair dressors do. I'm just so flustered with this situation, so I'll comment on a channel I bet I can get help from! Thank you for this informational video!!!

[@lizzisonyoutube7189]

Thanks for the info! I use mostly on top 4 rows of 5 sharpie thick wooldreads, hehe. Not a big poofy amount but I like it :) Don't have anything shaved though, just put my hair back sleek and hide it under the dreads!

[@giulia1204]

Hi, you literally became my Dreadlocks Guru. lol Thank you so much to share your knowledge, it's helping me a lot since it's been only a week from the first time I had my Dreadlocks installed. I made them out of wool (Navy Blue and Silver Light Blue, a good match for my Blue hair I'd say.) but I installed too less them, also I am not really feeling comfortable wearing it: it stinks when washed, they tend to get large and they loose LOADS of fluff! So I was considering to get some synthetics if they are not too expensive. Thank you for the infos!

[@susanpalmer3796]

I hope I didnt screw up. I have a full head, and actually have 30 baby dreads. I ordered 20 pen size to start with to add to the length and volume. I guess I could order more if I need them. I wish I'd seen thus video first!

[@seraphin669]

I have like normal hair and ordered 45 medium/thin dreads 🤗

[@danielleroberson8735]

Hey can you do a video about machine made dreadlocks vs handmade dreadlocks? I know you touched on this lightly here and I have ordered handmade dreads from Etsy. But I’m curious about what the machine made dreads look like and where you would even find something like that?

[@ufuctitup]

I am in love with your hair. I have cut all my hair off twice. And after awhile I would regret it because of my lack of self confidence. I have always wanted to be able to have the courage to do whatever I want to, to my hair! I want so badly to cut my hair similar to yours and put dreads in!! I also want to go back to my mermaid hair. I just hate the judgement and glares from people. I know I shouldn't care what they think.. I just feel like being 28 and now a mom to a 4 month old daughter, the judgement will be worse! :( Like I am expected to look and be a certain way because I am told I am too old to do fun things to my hair and I will look childish. I'm crying out for self expression. You're awesome and inspiring to me. Where do you get the courage and confidence?

[@smellthewooodcom942]

That was really amazing! I can only imagine how long it ACTUALLY takes.

[@rexrawr_1613]

OMG THIS IS AMAZING FREAKING LOVE I REMEMBER WATCHING I THINK IN 2015 !! I miss u😁😁😁😂😂

[@ch527kerosene]

Ahh that's so cool!! Welcome back

[@lexyjay5175]

You should make a video on your dread collection!

[@xhugod]

I think parting and sectioning the hair in advance may give you a closer number to how many dreads you will need to order. I often do yarn braids and usually part my hair in 56 sections, however, my sister parts her hair in smaller sections and ends up with more braids. Instead of estimating the quantity in the amount of hair on the head, I would suggest using the size of the sections as a reference to how much hair/dreads/braids you will need.

[@ch527kerosene]

Good idea! It's the same principal really, since the size of the dreads determines the size of the sections. And the more hair you have the more sections you have! But I like the way you explained it and I agree that doing it that way would be more accurate to each person. Would you mind if I made a video about it someday?

[@xhugod]

You just explained my explanation better than me. Please make a video about it, I think it will be very helpful. :)

[@susancarlautumndobyns3637]

I truly appreciate the details of all the examples and possibilities 💡😉😘 But my main question is I only want seven or 12 dreads because I was reading about Samson in the history and the way I want my hair I wasn't planning on fully dreading I wanted to leave my bangs out which aren't bangs because I like my hair the way you have it and I didn't picture having the first three on the front of my forehead I wanted that to be loose hair that I can take twirl in my hand 💡 and the little sideburn that you have I've been wanting to do that with both of my sides so there's a lot of hair I want specifically left alone and then I have really thin hair so I realized having more would give me more volume but I want the connection of just having the simple things I want like a braid Viking braids that hold down so I don't have to shave the side of my head and then those into a lock or two 🤣 I guess I'm building my ideas while researching because it mostly I just knew I didn't want to shave the side of my head but I wanted to braid it back so it would stop bothering me and stay permanent to the side of my head shaving it would be so much easier but then again I have been here and shaving only makes it thinner

[@tetemochadc]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Your video is very informative and to the point.

[@_nil7680]

could you do one micro dread transformation

[@GreatSmithanon]

I dig the idea of dreads, but I've always been a little hesitant. I live in a fairly conservative Canadian city, but I do have an undercut, which I braid in a similar fashion to Ragnar from Vikings or simply comb over to the right. I might go for the thin or micro dreads, but am unsure how much they would limit my ability to braid my hair into a ponytail-like braid. I also have very thick hair that grows quite rapidly. Ideas?

[@tanderson1143]

THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN NEEDING> THANK YOU!!

[@GiannisSar]

Nice video 👌🏻 and I like that I saw the pure gore set again! Btw have you ever thought about making a “what’s on my phone” video? (Just and idea)

[@lemonysnickette]

Very informative! Thank you for all your videos and your links!

[@sumeyyeummah6366]

This is thé most helpful vidéo i ever watch. Thank you so much

[@savannahherron6771]

Where do you order your dreads from? And how often do they have to be redone?

[@catrinasanford2324]

Where do you get your dreads from? I've been looking everywhere for soft pliable dreads.

[@shr000mies]

i would love for you to do a dread collection video!

[@clutchplox]

I have decided thank you soo much i decided to get medium or sharpie sized locs because i dont want them soo thin they look like loose hair but not soo thick that they look dumb i like the average size because they are manageable and good lookin in my opinion.

[@mandymurphy1335]

Omg this helped me a lot. I'm getting my first time dreads and they are pencil thin.

[@Eleni520]

Can you do a video showing us how do you section your hair?

[@mh4971]

could you make a video on your diet or what you do to stay thin? You look so thin and beautiful!! I wish I could look as gorgeous as you!!

[@amayataylor4821]

do you have like a timeline of all your dread extensions in a video?

[@christilaine2191]

Can you do a video of how real dreads feel vs synthetic cant find anything to explain just got my first set of synthic and really excited to do this. tempted to do my hair but after all my cancer treatments nervous how it will turn out or stay. But really interested in knowing more of the comparison in that aspect.

[@emiliannamrasch9364]

Omg thanks! Exactly what i needed! ♡♥♡

[@AEniGem]

Hello, I was watching this and I’d like to know the info about your princess hair dread set. How big are they? How long are they? And how many did you buy for that set? Are they wool or synthetic? Thanks so much! Keep up with your awesome videos!

[@MorePF]

I've had the same question for a long time. How long does a set last? Or you just take them off when you want?

[@zraashaq]

I was hoping for a number estimate on if you're installing thick dreads into 3/4th shaved hair! Im6guessing around 10-15?

[@christinew2575]

Do a dread extensions collection video!!!

[@cariush9358]

I love the thickness. Mine are too skinny..Going to try your method...How big are your sections! I have a mohawk too. But the hair is too short to braid. Any suggestions? Thanks! 😊

[@RahulDilarepercussionist]

I have same hair style like you how many double ended dreads I need???

[@jennifermartin1463]

I love your work!

[@dylanmckay1027]

Where do you recommend I get my first set of dreads I would like standard to thick. I have so many questions but I don't wanna drive you crazy so I'll bother who you recommend hahha

[@skelotongod3722]

What is the size of purple pink an black an is it double ended

[@beawest2923]

I have shoulder-length hair.. is this long enough to tie in synthetics, or should I wait?

[@keithmeyers2988]

Can people with shorter hair, like a boys average hair length, have dreads ?

[@stephopalopal]

[@keiharu5628]

Can you reuse dred sets? I dont wany to have to buy a new set every month

[@kimkeller8126]

I made my own Woolly’s 😊😊

[@hayatkokomani8802]

Where do you buy your dreadlocks?

[@jonathanmeyer9753]

So I am planning to get synthetic dreads in a half head style (if I am correct that means that you have a mix of normal hair and dreadlocks). I have a full head of mid length hair and I want to get pencil sized, or maybe even micro dreads kind of underneath my normal hair. I want it to look like there is more normal hair than dreads and the dreads are almost like highlights set in a layer underneath the normal hair. How many should I get?

[@_ich_bims_tinke_6801]

We’re do you buy youre dreads?

[@ln8974]

a micro would be cool to see install for

[@dailylife902]

Arent they heavy in head?hope u answer me plz

[@slickthkid_official]

how long can you have these in your hair for??

[@sopaipillapesadilla7023]

heyy I have a question, I really want wooldreads but I'm vegan and I don't want to buy actual wool, but I'm uncomfortable with using synthetic, I've heard of bamboo fiber or orhter natural ones, I mean technically is it possible to make dreads using cotton or some other plant-based yarn?

[@_ich_bims_tinke_6801]

Why do Synthetic Dreads cost so much? I want some, but they cost 80-300 €

[@custard5791]

Mohawk Microdread : 50-100 Pencil thin: 60

[@Creepytimes1313]

How heavy are they? Have u tried to weigh them? 😃

[@Trump-y4e]

Gurl you're awesome 👌👌

[@bearcublings9325]

I am new to dreads and I am getting mine put in as soon as i can figure out how much i would need. My hair is medium thickness and the dreads I want are "sharpie" and the dreads are also are single ended. I only have about 1/3 of my hair and the rest is shaved (basically a mo-hawk that doesn't go down all the way to my neck it stop about the middle of the back of my head) Anyway I was wanting an opinion from someone who has worked with dreads for a while and someone that I trust knows what they are talking about. Also I LOVE your videos that are so awesome and they are actually the thing that inspired me to get dreads. I have wanted them for a while but just never had the guts to get them. Also what would be awesome if you could do a timeline of all the different colours of dreads you've ever had!

[@aurelijs8891]

I hear lots of static in the background. Is that an air conditioner in winter?

[@ch527kerosene]

I actually have no idea what that was because my room sounded silent while I was filming! I think it might be the radiator since my camera was a few feet away from it. Or just the natural hum that comes from house fixtures/lights. DEFINITELY not the air conditioner, it is so cold here. But yeah I even asked Nate if he knew what that sound was and he didn't have a solid answer, either.
