Is It OK To Use Synthetic Hair On (Permanent) Loc Extensions? 

Right. I'mma do that

Ok I using syn cuz I like u spiritual reasons as well

I don't wanna use other people's hair

❤❤❤

even if they are inter locked?

Do you think if I used Marley hair, twisted and interlock it at the root it would work? What hair did you use and have you dyed your hair?

Have you ever tried to dye it your extensions and if yes how did you do it?

@@alexis2.o14use color wax it’s not permanent but still works

@@alexis2.o14 synthetic fiber can be dyed with synthetic fabric dye, you should get light colored hair and you’ll then be able to make it whatever color you want using Rit, though that can only be done a number of times, as the dye can’t be stripped off, so you’d have to go progressively darker or overlay colors that won’t cancel out each other.

Awesome tip! Thank u❤️

AJAE LOX You're welcome 😊

@@CarynDPrescott for the apple cider. Do you have to dip the syndicated hair the vinger

@@CarynDPrescott in

@@toniwoods3985 you should soak it

How long did they last?

Jetta.Silence THANK UU💁🏽

Yes how long they last

How long did they last? I’m planning on doing the same thing

@@maciah9293 i had them in a year. I did the regular once a month cleanse. But i got sick of them once covid came and i was bored so i shaved my head lol. I highly recommend doing them in smaller sections than i did. And if you have pets wear a bonnet if you are just at home with them. Cuz mine picked up everything. But id do it again🥰

AJAE LOX my name is mariah Hutton and i have permanent synthetic dreadlock extensions I'm going to be two years locked on February 9th 2018. I've had my ups and downs with them. But overall I like them. You should check out my channel Mariah Hutton. As they've gotten older I can do a lot more with them they're a lot more flexible and stuff like that. But I don't just have synthetic all in my hair anymore. In November of 2016 I had my sister wrap human hair from the roots all the way down the locs. And that helped out a lot. And since then I've been cutting an inch off of the synthetic dreadlock extensions every month. My hair has grown about 10 in within those two years I'm going to be locked. I mean what works for me may not work for other people. But even in the beginning I didn't like them I still stuck with them because it was something I had to do. And I'm glad I did it showed me patience wish I didn't have before. Also there a lot less heavier then when I had all synthetic in because I cut most of the synthetic off now I am passing shoulder length and I still have maybe an inch or two to cut off of the synthetic dreadlocks extensions. Don't get me wrong know when I was getting my hair done I went into the shop ask for all human hair. I I asked the lady if this is all human hair she goes yes this will best match your texture of your hair. So 8 hours later I smelled burning and she was dipping them in hot water. I was very disappointed I should have said something but I didn't want to sit there for another 8 hours I had to go home I lived about 3 hours away. But I just don't with it and kept them in anyways and yes I've had my bad days but now that my natural hair has locked in my head it's been a lot easier and it looks way more natural. I've had to do a lot of Maintenance against look how it looks. Lol but it was nothing I couldn't handle. So please yes check out my page I subscribe to you can you please subscribe to me too thanks.

Mariah Hutton Unfortunately it’s not the first time I’ve heard someone claiming to use human hair and instead using synthetic. I’m glad you found a way to make it work for you and I’m excited to follow your journey. I followed back #smallyoutuberlove #staylocd

AJAE LOX. Thank you so much for ur support...and Thank u for subscribing and following my journey:)

AJAE LOX I already have locs (down to my butt) and need to just fill in with a few extensions. Do you think synthetic hair would work because I only need about 10 locs?

What kind did you use?

Didn't know that thanks for the information

Kathy Martin No problem love

You are a gem for this information

For real??

What happens if you dye it?👀

😂😂😂😂😂it took me a week to install mine lol whew talk about commitment 🤣🤣🤣 it’s not

Yaaasss!! Thanks for sharing the advice ❤️

How long would you soak them?

What kind did you stick with human or marley ?

Which kinky hair did you use? Fluffy or Afro?

Yes girl, i was NOT gonna do it lbs

@@jeeannajuarez4117 A lady told me 1500 to start my hair locs with extensions

@@danyellewashington9087 insanity!

What hair did you use ??

Same here because I refuse to pay thousands

Wild

Glad i could help ❤️

That hair makes the best synthetic locs!!!😍

Mine fused together and I've been rocking mine for 3 years.

Thank u! I’m glad i could help❤️

Just know if you leave them in the hot water longer than a short dip, the synthetic extensions tend to shrink quite a bit. And you’ve gotttttttt to lay them out how you want before they cool (like straight or wavy or whatever). I once drained the hot water and then got distracted with kiddos and let them cool in the pot 🥴 lesson learned lol

Yes Queen❤️ a bit more pricey but worth it

AJAE LOX ABSOLUTELY!

Yes! I’ve heard ppl who have used synthetic hair and like it. How did it come out?

How Did You Find It??

@@navernkruz6335 U started my first set of locs with synthetic hair and had no problems, really. Just treat then like your own hair. After a year or even before that, make sure to cut them off. Some persons may get away with two years though. Ensure you go to someone who knows what they are doing though. Only two come is : They are a bit heavy especially after washing and they get itchy. Be sure to soak in vinegar b4 seeing them and wash then once every two weeks after installation.

@@AriaPringle9053cut them off??!! 😮 why??

Right? Like uh hello..do you not see these inflation prices??? Chileeee

Thank u!!! Keep me updated on your journey❤️

@@AJAELOX I sure will

Awesome!! Synthetic hair? Comment below the brand so our fellow loc extension enthusiasts can save some money❤️❤️

AJAE LOX it was human hair. Sold by yonna hair on amazon.

Thanks Queen

How many bundles did you buy

How many bundles did u use?

Ugh I’m sorry they used synthetic hair on u, i hate hearing that. I’m glad i could help and good luck on making your locs and your loc journey❤️

amber brown Did you install your loc extension with human hair?

Not yet ...I won't be able to until April when get time off from work

What brand?

Could you post the link?

Personally i think you should stay away from anything synthetic if you are getting permanent locs

Omg! How exciting! Welcome to the loc life!!

and my hair fused already after 1 year i use malibu kinky twist hair 613 blonde

Thank u so much! U totally just made my day!!😁

AJAE LOX Aww!😊

EXACTLY like every video I watch she answers all my questions! love it!

Glad i could help😁

Ooooh! glad that type doesn’t stick

did your natural hair eventually fuse together with the synthetic hair?

Agreed

Not a bad idea at all! Many people cut the extensions out as the natural hair begins to grow and loc

The Hair I’m using is human hair. But yes, they are permanent loc extensions

I did....I twisted it and dipped it in hot water. Worked like a charm!

Did your natural hair fuse with it?

@@tearakumar4909 tbh, I don't know. It probably don't because the chemicals are different for real hair & synthetic🤷🏽‍♀️? Could that be the reason that it didn't wave up when I tried?

@@miriamnishalibertbain6349 are yours synthetic or real loc extensions?

I would use rollers or twist/braid my hair and leave it for a few days to a week and it worked I also used a blow dryer when I lost patience 😅

I have a video on how to make loc extensions, the Link is in the description bar. The method is the same for human hair and synthetic hair 😁

What is the name of the hair you bought?

@@godivagoddess25 IBIZA

Girl u were scammed

$16 for one PACK???

@@GreenBanana675 1 pack made 60 locks

Link?

Niiiiice!

Glad i could help. Thank you for watching

You should be ok if you’re only keeping them for 6 months

@@AJAELOX Thank you do much!!♥️

If you start them as double ended dreads, eventually it will start to form as a single loc at the base then will fan out into a double ended dread at the end. So it will pretty much look like an upside down “Y”. as long as your base is strong enough to support the weight, nothing will happen, you’ll just have a set of really cool locs!

Absolutely

I just bought Cuban twist hair. Want to know the same thing before I make and install:(

I think as long as it’s human hair it will loc. However, I’ve never seen it done so I’m not sure how the end results will look.

You can two strand twist your hair and it will loc up. The twist will get a bit puffy first then it should shape more into a loc as time goes on. It can take quite a few months, depending on your hair, for your hair to loc the natural way.

I did locs last year and took them out to redo them and I cut mine 😢I didn’t have to but I just wanted a fresh start. My advice would be manipulate it to stretch it as much as possible to get the box braids for about a month or two and then do the synthetics

Yes, i was able to comb them out

That sounds about right (depending on length and how many you want). It can get VERY expensive

Carlicia Alexander 😦😦😦😦😦 Wow...that's expensive.

Yup. Mine cost that amt. Worth it all!

Carlicia Alexander same

Good question! If u find out the answer let me know

Did you find out??

Yes if you dip them in hot water

Thank u❤️

I have no idea. I know you can start authentic locs with 2strand twists but I’ve never seen it done with loc extensions

Thank you for watching😁

Ok so the way it works is you fuse the extension to your natural hair using a crochet needle. Eventually, the extension will loc onto your hair mailing it permanent. Your real natural hair will continue to grow from the root and that’s where your hair growth will come from. So pretty much the loc extension is giving you a head start when it comes to length (but the continued growth will come from your real hair at the scalp). I hope that makes sense.

AJAE LOX Oh okay thanks so the permanent locs extensions doesn’t grow like your normal hair when is connected together.

Exactly

Thank u luv❤️

That’s a good question. I think around 140ish. Not sure of the exact number though I’ll have to count them 😁

AJAE LOX thanks for answering my questions. Your hair is lovely and full just like I want it. I'm glad you were able to achieve this with 6 bundles of the hair from macon cuz I actually thought I would need twice as much. Good luck with the channel and I hope it continues to grow 💙.

Thank u so much for your love and support ❤️

Thanks for your support ❤️

So what

Then that should also apply to you

Lol yea someone else told me it was a bad brand too
