DE - Double Ended - when 1 dread is folded in half and you get two ends (dreads)
SE - Single Ended - one dread with a loop.
Both braided on the same way. 

A set of dreads can be used as many times as you want. One set lasts for 1.5-2 months. The time depends on the growth rate of your hair. Please be careful not to miss the time when you need to remove your dreadlocks because your hair can root itself.
You can wash them with shampoo or in the washing machine.

There may be some color discrepancies due to different monitor settings.

 

DE - Double Ended - when 1 dread fold in half and you get two ends (dreads)

SE - Single Ended - 1 dread with a loop. How do you install it on your head?

The advantage of DE over SE is less braiding, but more dreads, more volume, and better coverage of the partitions.
SE are good when the head is braided partially or, for example, to extend natural dreadlocks.

For the entire head, you will need 55DE (60DE for the very thick hair) Double Ended dreads or 80-100SE - Single Ended dreads.

45-50DE for normal hair (70-80SE)

40-45DE - if you want to leave your bangs unbraided.  

Mohawk/ Undercut/Shaved Temples - 25-30DE (35DE for thick hair) or 50-60SE dreads.  

For the back of the head 5-25DE (5-30SE) - depends on the desired volume.

Divide the hair into rows and the rows into sections - bases. The first row at the back of the head usually has 3-4 bases. On the next row above, place the bases so that their middle is over the parting between the two lower bases. Use a comb to divide into partings and try to separate them "cleanly" - no hairs from one base should be in the other. Otherwise you will feel uncomfortable.

how to install dreadlocks on your head

To be sure, if you are braiding dreadlocks for the first time, it is better to first divide the hair into bases in the amount according to your set of dreadlocks. Next, divide the base into two strands, either horizontally or vertically, and put a DE dread "knee" to the middle of that base. One end can be secured with a clamp, the other end will be braided in a half-eighth braid - as if you were braiding a regular braid, but one strand remains in place (see video). 

If you are using a Single Ended - with a loop, then pass a strand of hair through the loop and then divide it into two.

Before reaching the end of the hair, add a thread of a suitable color - either to match the color of the dreads, or to match the color of the hair. I usually use a thread for embroidery, like moulene or iris. Continue braiding the braid with the thread, and then wrap it tightly around the end of the hair so it doesn't stick out. And be sure to secure the thread well with three knots.
 
 
 

 

The easiest way to wash your dreads is to mix a little shampoo and water in a bottle and wash your scalp with it. Then rinse well, wrap the dreads in a towel to soak up the water (no rub!) and then just let them dry on their own. Do not use hair conditioner or a hair dryer on Dreads and Braids please. 

When you have only part of your hair braided, separate your hair from the set and wash, dry and style it as usual and dread with braids as described above. 

This is easiest done by tilting your head forward so that the free part of your hair hangs down and the dreads are gathered at the back in a bundle or any other convenient way.
