    yah, that video was helpful, thank you. And soaring eagle, why be so closed minded? just because you do not like a certain style doesn't mean you have to bash it. i'm not offended in the least but there isn't just ONE way for anything.

    IF you do fake dreads right, they can look real. It depends on the quality of material you use. If they look like melted plastic you burnt them.

    I have no helpful advice to give but I think it'd look awesome on you. If you're into it, do it.

    100% kanekalon hair (buy in bulk online, like 3 bucks a bag)
    backcomb a piece
    seal it with boiling water
    thread into real dreads
    voila!

    I think fake dreads can be fun but it feels better to just have real ones. I way prefer putting trinkets and wraps in like SE said :) I had a good few fake ones when I first started my dread journey and had to take them out. I just hated the feel of them and after watching gok wan he said the extra weight on your scalp could make you go bald! I couldn't get that thought out of my head, lol
