First self-installed dreads from f a k e . h a i r
First attempt at self dread installation: About 10.5 hours over the course of two days
Tying up the dreads in a massive updo: 45 minutes
Covering up awful acne for photos: About an hour, and every 'covering up' type substance in the household
FINALLY having the awesome Petrol Grun, Royal Blau, Vampire Violet, Lila, Black, and #33 mixed/solid dreads I made myself ON MY HEAD and pretty pictures of it to show off: Priceless.
I wanted to put my new hair in and I didn't have anyone available to help me, so, I decided to finally give it a shot on my own. Which was a really big step for me, btw, because I have feared attempting to do that since the incarnation of my fakehair-fu.
I expected it to be hard, and it was, and I still have massive respect for the girls who come on here and say "I put in 60 DE's on my self in about 3 hours" because it took me the span of two days to put in about 45 in undercut style. But I love them and they are not falling out, and there is really something to be said for having control over thightness and being able to immediately pull out flyaways that get caught up in your sections.
I'll probably do a self-install again if I'm in a pinch and can't find anyone to help me.
Hope you are all well.
