How to Add and Remove Dreadlock Extensions

[@dejeanblackburn8084]

I have had locs for almost 6 years and on a whim, I cut them all off . (Midlife freak out?) After my hair started to grow out, I was starting to regret it. So, I turned to KZbin and found you. I'm so glad I did too! I'm in the process of reinstalling my locs. I too, shall never be without my locs again! Thanks for the great tutorial on how to add them back! 🌸

[@thisoneladykaty]

I'm absolutely blown away by the confidence and speed in which you chopped those off!

[@Mommybouche]

I love that you say , "Its all ok" I find myself trying to break away from staying in a box mentality.

[@kyliewalker8992]

I am a loctician too and cut off my extensions regularly and change everything up. Give my self a fringe now and again and when bored, lock up fringe and add extensions...it's fun

[@FadedOwl84]

Total was cracking up while relating to those dancing fingers🤣☺. You've inspired another project for me to do again as well, tie dyeing😎.

[@LizaLocs]

The dancing fingers! They crack ME up! 🙈🙈🙈 girl YES make yourself something pretty!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@hannahmarie4852]

Love watching your fingers 😂 finally got to watch this vid!! I have the biggest urge to part my hair for dreads already 🙌🏼😅

[@lilymoon0f0]

I agree with you on self care. It’s y favorite thing to do as well. I love working on changing up my locks. It’s actually soothing when I get zoned on working on them. You add your extensions a little bit different than I do mine and I use a crochet hook. But basically the same. I love your channel and your locks btw. Great video

[@LizaLocs]

Thank you so much, it means so much to me! And omg exactly, it is soothing. You nice you’re in the zone and rhythm let those fingers dance!! 💕🙏🏻

[@jenniferslocks7981]

I love that your the brave one to change up your extensions & that you save the cut out extensions. But Ouuuuu sorry, dont think I'm that brave, yet lol. I mean I have added extensions to my existing extensions & that was fun but......cutting them out to add..... um nope, chicken here! Love your videos learned so much, thank you❣✌✌✌🥰

[@mistygray13]

Dropping hints to wanting shorties back in January! I see you Liza! Lol

Hey lovey!! I love your videos- you’re so soothing to watch 🤍 I have a question- have you ever experienced being able to pull loose hairs (like a lot 😂) from the dread extension after you install it? Backstory: I have a new set of locs, and when I brush my fingers through it, especially after my two washes (I’ve had them almost a month), a bunch of loose hair comes out! It’s so bizarre and I can’t find info about this anywhere 😔 It seems to stop a bit after I crochet it- but I’m thinking of cutting the extensions out and making new ones. I’ve had a bunch of other extensions on my last set I of dreads- but I’ve never experienced this? Any who, I figured I would just ask-any thoughts or suggestions are super appreciated & valued Much love

[@meakia9]

Thanks for the info and positive energy.

[@christinaballard7388]

Thank you for all the wonderful videos. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix a pregnant extension. I added some for the first time and I unfortunately did this. Should I cut it out and redo it. Also I have partials and one is super thin with an extension that might be to thick. Do you think if I crocheted some straight hair in on that piece it would give enough support so it doesn't cause to much stress or breakage?

[@sirsoutlook7082]

Love your videos being the first thing I watch in the morning with my cup of chia tea. I will be getting dreads in a week and adding extensions to my 6inch short hair lol but I was curious if extensions shrink as much as your natural hair?, what’s your experience in that?

[@LizaLocs]

I love that we are sipping your favorite beverage as I do!!! Congrats to you, so fun! You will love them! It really depends on the method but with mine, YES! Just like my normal locs!!

[@cynthiah1807]

We are on the same page sister! Love your locs, and your wholesome soul!

[@GreenWitch1]

My extentions are scheduled to arrive on the 18th, so I’m locking my hair in preparation. I’ve never had locs b4, so I’m not sure what to expect. Right now they feel a bit like Velcro. I’ve read that as the loc matures, it’ll pull those hairs in. Not sure if this is true. Just curious how long it takes for them to feel soft?

[@heidi_d]

I don’t know if you’ve answered this already on another video comment, but I haven’t seen it yet so thought I’d ask! How many locs do you have??

[@sarahphillips7942]

I love watching your videos!😊

[@LizaLocs]

Oh yay!!! I’m so grateful! 💕🙏🏻

I totally do it! I added length then literally the next day, I cut them out. Now I want to add it again 😂

I have my twin!!! 👯‍♀️❤️

[@Mommybouche]

What is your link for custom dreads? 8m thinking I want a few dreads and a few braids. Just doing partial

[@sherrykunkle1776]

I have very short hair and have been growing the top out with a little side - and V back -- I started with very small locks and I make dreads so I crocheted in my syn hair into the formed lock -- secured the new hair - backcombed it then crochet it -- hmm trying to make sense ha but this punched through the baby dreads -- then formed just as I would have done making a dread but it was attached to my head

[@ThePbially]

Ur awesome Liza

[@rainbowdreads1399]

Mine are different lengths too but mostly because i have had shrinking in some areas and not as much in others but still babies at 9 months old

[@LizaLocs]

My biggest shrinking time was at the 7 month mark! Like 5-7 inches! It was insanity!!!

[@rainbowdreads1399]

Absolutely! Mines been very similar which is why i was suuuper happy about your extensions video! I might give installation a try with this video!

[@julie691]

Thank you for this tutorial!

[@LizaLocs]

Thank you for watching!! 💕💕

[@jonly8270]

Is it not possible to get the extensions out without cutting them out? I have many sets of synthetic extensions with many colours, i want to change mine to a different color but want the ones I have in back in maby in a year or so

[@BEAUTIFULblessing3]

You are amazing 😍

[@LizaLocs]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@kristyjones8126]

Do you have any other suggestions on where I should get human hair extensions, other than Sally's? They seem pretty expensive there. ❤

[@LizaLocs]

I’m sorry I don’t! For 100% human hair that’s actually a really good price from what I’ve seen. If it gets much cheaper I start to wonder if it’s a blend. I wish I could help more! ❤️

[@kristyjones8126]

Good to know :) Thank you so much. I didn't have anything really to compare it to, since I'm just starting out lol. So I'll just go with the link you provided ❤

[@kristyjones8126]

Last question, sorry 🙈 Roughly how many locs do you get out of one (bundle?)?

[@LizaLocs]

Kristy Jones roughly 30-40 depending on thickness. If you want them longer (adding two together) you’ll definitely need two packs at least if you’re doing a full head. I like to have different lengths for volume so you could get away with doing half of them longer also! 💕💕💕

[@kristyjones8126]

Thank you for you're help 😘

[@Lizehrn]

I may or may not have cut out all my extensions and put in all new hair 🥴😅😂😂🤗

[@vanessamichaels9512]

how long do they last?
