Therefore, those who somehow want to change their image, stand out from the crowd, go on such a step as weaving DE.
De-dreadlocks are one of the varieties of weaving where you do not need to sacrifice your hair. The word is translated as "two-pointed", because the blanks have two tips. They are attached to the hair, it turns out like two dreadlocks, hence the name - de-dreadlocks. Their shape differs from other species, by the end the tips are very thin.
To create a hairstyle, modern kanekalon material is used. In its composition, it is very similar to natural hair, and in weight it is much lighter. Kanekalon allows you to create hairstyles of various lengths. The material is so similar to natural that when weaving, there is not even a difference with the hair, although you can choose different colors. Some ask the master to make a combination of several colors - it looks very bright and original. With such a hairstyle, you definitely will not be left without the attention of others.
