More hair is added to build the length as we work our way down the dreadlock which is a common dreadlock extension making technique. Just like your own dreaded hair, they will mature in time and with wear and will become a little more flexible. Also just like your own dreads, it's normal for loose hairs to escape with wear, particularly after shampooing and occasional maintenance maybe required by using a crochet hook to pull any escapees back into the dreadlock. Palm rolling regularly with downward pressure will help shape the dread and avoid excessive shrinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHuman hair extensions can become more dehydrated than your natural hair, especially the lighter shades which have undergone more extensive processing. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCombing the mermaid tails gently with your fingers daily and the use of Dread Empire \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/treatments\" title=\"Dreadlock Conditioning Products\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(36, 69, 162);\"\u003eConditioning Spray\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e as needed will keep them hydrated and tangle free.
