How many double ended dreads do I need to order for a full head?
The amount of dreads needed is dependant on a number of factors. The amount of hair you have, the thickness of your natural hair, the thickness of the dread, and the volume you are looking to achieve. Sadly, this is often a question that dread makers can’t answer without seeing your actual natural hair. There are so many factors involved that it’s, more often then not, left to trial and error. Things like the standard thickness of a double ended dread varies by dread maker, so this chart is based off how we make our dreads. You can use the chart below as a quick, very basic reference guide.
