Hey guys! Ok so I have been considering making a dread wig but I'm a complete noob. I've had a look at the tuts that are on here but none tht specifically answer my question.
I have made a lot of dreads atm but my hair is a little too short for me to be able to install them so I thought about attaching them to a wig. What I want to know is will installing them onto a wig using bands be ok (like u do with a normal hair install) as I think I will want to take them off it at some point and install them on my own hair when its long enough.
Oh I also am thinking of using the eBay store 'wigfashion' they look pretty nice and they're KK I think! http://shop.ebay.co.uk/wigfashion/m.html
I just have one more question about wearing funky wigs (different colours/styles) on a day to day basis. I'm sick of my hair atm its too short and the cuts not so good (dont want to get it cur coz I want dreads in!) so I was thinking of wearing wigs every now and then....does anybody ever do that? And will these wigs from 'wigfashion be any good for that?
Thanks guys

Yeah, just braid em on as you would your own hair. Kellye, thecutealternative made a wig that way, it'll be in the show archive probably. I'll see if I can find it.

The material is also made out of KK, so you can use the hair of the wig to make dreads already attached to the wig. It's a good choice.

Exactly how short is your hair? Because you can still do an install if you want to on like really short hair, I've seen it done on I dunno inch and a half or two inches of hair.
