when making extenders..

[xalternmommyx]

So i think im gunna take the plunge for real dreadlocks....
but i dont want lil nubbies so i was planning on doing human hair extenders, now when buying the hair whats best for a low cost?
i've seen soo many different styles of hair on ebay and such. i recently looked at "spanish wave" it looks like something that will knot up nicely, should i look for something of that sort or are there things to stear away from? i almost bought some hair but i noticed it was only 70% human, so i should look for 100% right? i dont plan to dye them, if im going real im going for a natural look

any other tips would be appreciated, i havent found much here besides the installing them tuts.

ECW Human hair is awesome, knots up well but doesn't have the horrid plasticky feel of yaky or other cheap human hair so it blends better into non-kinky hair types. Doctored Locks sells it as well as someone on ebay - I've bought from both I can give you linkies if you need 'em.

Hope this helps!

I usually go for the cheap choice for dread extenders, as you are only planning to mash it up and that tends to work best on cheap hair. I have successfully made permanent extenders out of high-grade futura fibre hair for folks who are coscientious objectors to human hair and they have worked fine, as they were never going to be dyed. I have also had good results with yaki, though others do say different.

Personally, any hair that has been coloured (pretty much all the human hair on the market) will knot up easily; just ask anybody who wears loose human extensions. An extra process on the product, such as a wave, would knot up well but is not really necessary for your purpose. I'd go with the cheapest one in the best colour for you.
