Using combs plus elastic on dread falls

[Librarynerd]

Hi All,

Lately I've been wiring the elastic lace to a comb and then wiring the dreads to the fall. Seems to work really well for keeping a heavy fall from slipping and is more comfortable because the pressure is split between the comb and the elastic tied to the pigtail and if you give the dread a few twists on the wire it makes it stand up real nice if you want a spiky look. It's still easy to remove the dreads by cutting the wire along the comb to wear them installed. The combs I've been using are made for bridal veils, they seem to grab well when pushed under the pigtail.

Is anyone else doing this? Have you found any pitfalls or tips for this method?

Dreads in this pic are an early attempt, I now use a much longer piece of elastic.

The only pitfall I can think of is some people find combs uncomfortable. I'm one of them; the comb holding up my very lightweight shoulder length veil at my wedding drove me NUTS. I felt like the teeth were digging into my head the whole time, even though they really weren't.

But if they're easy to remove, you've already covered that

I agree, I have worn combs on lightweight hair pieces and i felt the same way. I think the plastic combs are more comfortable though.

I love doing that: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =3&theater
