To avoid starting out on a dread/loc journey with short hair, some
people resort to braiding dreadlocks with extensions. At the beginning of the dread/loc process, the hair tends to lose some length. The amount lost depends on the thickness of the hair. For those with thin hair, it can take up to half the length, which is why some choose to go this route.
Braiding dreadlocks with extensions is an easy way to change:
- hair length
- Color
- Add curls or waves etc. to the ends

The one factor that should be noted when thinking of
braiding dreadlocks with extensions, is that the extensions stop the natural process of locking. Areas that are covered by the extensions remain straight. The dreads will remain this way until the extensions are removed.
To have an easier and quicker locking time, instead of braiding dreadlocks with extensions, add dreadlocks extensions. They come in many colors and varieties which can satisfy your creative side while freeing the hair to further the locking process.
