Here are some great links and tutorials for making your own hair falls and dreads. Once you get the basics down, the only limit will be your budget, time and imagination.

"...long, straight, curly, fuzzy, snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty, oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming, steaming, flaxen, waxen, knotted, polka-dotted; twisted, beaded, braided, powdered, flowered, and confettied, bangled, tangled, spangled and spaghettied!"

They are limited by if you have enough hair to attach them to your head (it actually helps if you have some but isn't necessarily required), how much weight or length you can tolerate and how you want them to be!Wearing hair falls can be an every day thing for you, or it might just be for a special occasion. You can frequently see see spectacular hair falls in the worlds of tribal belly dance, goth fashion and club culture.
