Synth Extenders

[girl or god]

Anyone here have any experience in adding synth extenders to natural dreads?
Not the hairpolice method with braiding at the end of the dread, but with using a crochet hook or a felting needle? I'm wondering if it meshes in easily with human hair.. I know wool smooshes in there pretty easily.. but I was wondering how synth hair holds up. I really want to try that new shapeshifter hair for a set of extenders!

It doesn't mesh very well, because synthetic dreads, for the most part, are twisted and sealed, so there would be a distinct texture difference.

I've had the HP method done before and the texture different wasn't that big of a deal.. I meant that if it felts in easily with the natural hair/dreads. Unless that is what you meant?

I'm not sure, because I've only extended my own dreads with human hair.

human hair works well, but synthetic hair looks so different, its really obvious.

Ah, ok.

i loop the synth one through the root of my real dread, people are so shocked when i tell them that half my dreads are fake, but the ones i made are an exact colour match and sealed to they look natural
