erm... well for some reason i cant find the button to send you a note. but my questions are preti simple...

i was told that they thin out your hair..is that true?
Are they hard to take care of?
Are they as heavy as every body keeps telling me?
Whats better, one loop or the double loop?

Hmmmm, im pretti sure thats it.
:icongsush8sme:
Yes, any extensions will break your hair causing it to thin a little... but you can keep that down to a minimum by parting your hair really well.

They are really easy to take care of, I wash mine about every 3 days. Just make sure you ring them out really well, try to get as much of the water out as possible or they will start to smell musty.

They can be pretty heavy if you put too many in.... I'm lucky I have thin hair so I part it a bit thicker and never have a problem with the weight. I suggest putting a few rows in (I usually start in the back at the neck and work my way up) and see how it feels. I know my first couple of days they seemed heavy but then I got used to them.

Personally, I find the double ended dreads to be MUCH easier to work with. I use the Elysee Star dreads which seem to get negative feedback but I have found the ones with the thread winding around work just great and last a very long time. I get them from Afrocare.com, and here is a link to their instructions on installing the dreads: [link]

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help! :)

You're very welcome!

If you can find someone to put them in for $40, you are getting the best deal I have ever heard of!
