I am currently making felt dreads ready for Halloween but dont know how many i need to make for a full head. I only have 5 days left and really need to get moving. They are single ended as my hair is short. I have made 20 so far (will make some more after work tonight). Will also post pics after I have finished.
Thanks Knotty

Re: How many dreads to cover full head?
Depends on how thick the wool is as well hun, but I normally go for about 45 DE dreads for full coverage, with the dreads themselves about 1 1/2 cm thick.
Better to make too many and not use them than make too little and have to make bigger sections.
Hope this helps. x

i made 60 fairly skinny DEs but only managed to get 35 into my hair. My hair is VERY thin and fine though.

It really depends on how much hair you have, how thick your hair is & what style you're going for (thin or thicker). The lady who put mine in did 38. Her website has photos that show lots of extensions to give you an idea of the differences depending on the person: http://dreadlockssydney.com

Re: How many dreads to cover full head?
Does the placement of dreads matter too? Can you cover more space with minding where the roots of the dreads are?

Placement will be a consideration. Check out this video for some sectioning options. You can always to a combination of the 3 types.
