I haven't tried them on hair that short, but as stated previously, as long as you can put your hair in a ponytail, you can wear falls. The ideas cancankant suggested are really good, the more the falls have to hold onto, the better you can make them look. I wrote an article about making falls for the site, but it might be awhile before it goes up. It's not too tough though, just time consuming

You can also braid wool roving dreads into your hair the same way Jude describes putting Elysee star dreads in, in her article about that. I'm working on trying to figure out how to make a wool dread wig, but no success on that note yet.
