Need some advice!!! Please help!!!

If I were making a (average) full head of thin shouder/just past shoulder length wool roving dreadies that I wish to be installed in an A-line of sorts so it all comes to generally the same length when installed. What lengths would you make and how many of each length?

have you searched for this? this has come up a few times. basically decide how many dreads you want then divide that by the number of different lengths you want. the lengths you use will depend on how dramatic you want the angle to be, eg. 60 dreads and 5 different lengths would mean 12 dreads in each length. there are variations depending on what way you want it to look though

Yeah my biggest problem I am having is the only wool dreads I have made for anyone besides myself have been as falls and I myself have a severe undercut so I am at a loss at to how many I will need for a full head of hair with them being slightly thicker than a pencil. I keep guessing between 80 and 100. lol. Its driving me batty

i would go for 60 if you have a high undercut and assuming you mean DE. that should be enough, even at that thickness

Ohhh I have an undercut and can only put in around 25 medim thickness ones. What I am asking those is for someone else, who has a full head of hair. Thats why I am unsure of how many. But thank you for responding.
