Bright red synthetic dreads!

I could have done it myself, but I was basically being lazy and couldn't be bothered to get arm ache from standing with my arms above my head braiding them in for hours, so just paid someone else to do it instead!  Hehehe!

Haha I know that feeling, I tried just putting a few in by myself once and my arms started aching so damn quickly! :p

Haha! I wish I'd done that 4 years ago when I dreaded my hair. Twelve hours with my arms over my head, back combing like a mad woman. If only I had a friend towhom I could say "hey, fancy spending some hours back combing?" lol.

my arms ache when I put rollers in for 10 mins so god knows what i'd be like doing dreads haha!

Hahaha!  The first time I had natural dreads in my hair (about four or five years ago now!) I got my husband to do the backcombing bit.  It saved my arms, but since he didn't really know what he was doing, they came out kinda wonky, with some much thicker than others.  Bless him, though, he did the whole lot and gave up an entire weekend to help me with my hair, so can't complain!

Mine were fairly even to start with, they've gone wonky since though lol!

Part of that is due to the fact that about two weeks after doing my dreads I came down with some gawd awful flu thing that had me laid up for three weeks and I literally didn't have the strength to keep waxing and rolling my dreads to help them settle in. Some of them got stuck together and I took 4 hours separating them out. Two of them had got so stuck I just had to tie them together and let them knit to each other. So at the back, on the right side of my crown I have a big fat dread. One of mine got bleach damaged when I bleached it for halloween some years back so that's really thin but the new growth is thick so it's weird looking lol!

They look amazing... and heavy 😀

They're really not all that heavy, obviously heavier than normal hair, but the synthetic hair is quite lightweight, so it's not like masses of weight on my head or anything!

Oh, thats cool :O I never had any sorts of dreads myself so visually it appears heavy 🙂
