Reattaching dreadlocks are getting more popular these days, one of my closes friend cut off her dreads because she wanted a change. However, after wearing braids for a month, she missed her dreads and reattach them. When she was finished, it looks so amazing and if you meet her, you wouldn’t notice any difference.
Dreadlocks that you have cut off can be easily reattached, the process is long but, if you don’t want to go through the locking phase again, it’s the next best thing. You can also donate your dreadlocks to a friend who doesn’t want to go through the phases of dreadlocks. Similarly, you’ll need at least 2-4 inches of natural hair to connect to the locked locs. With reattach hair you can make your dreads even thicker the second time around by combining two or more dreads to your desired size.
After connecting the dreads to your natural hair, you can re-twist your roots for a neater look or leave the roots loose to achieve a semi-free-form style. One of the best ways to reattach dreadlocks is using the crochet method, this ensures that the loc is secure and offers a natural look and feel.
