Comb out and wash the natural hair. Nirvana Drew November 22, 2016 at 3:43 am Some people like the look of singles to doubles and vice versa. If you do all singles, your sections might look more natural, but you will have a braid on each dread. I personally prefer doubles because you have two dreads per section, but only one has a braid and so they don't look quite as braid heavy. You will need about 50 sharpie size dreads for a full head, though some people really like to pack them in there and can do up to 20 more. I think that 50 in that size looks very natural and still very full.

Check out our tutorials on locking up natural hair, then extending them. If you were to do an install and then just try to combine them without redoing the installation, you'd probably have ok sections, but the spots at which the extensions and natural hair overlap would be too bulky as the natural hair grew out. So they would go from thin at the roots to thick. Check out the human hair dreads section for work with naturals.:).
