This listing is for 10 dreadlock extensions, approximately 45cm long and 6mm wide. High quality human hair is hand crocheted to perfection making them an excellent option for the permanent lengthening of existing dreadlocks.
Full Description
Our handcrafted dreadlocks are made from high-quality human hair and designed to seamlessly and permanently extend your existing locs. Hand crocheted by our skilled locticians, they’re crafted for strength and consistency. Over time, they become more flexible and begin to settle, taking on a natural look that blends beautifully with your own.
INCLUSIONS: 10 Individual crocheted human hair dreads.
LENGTH & THICKNESS: Our dreadlocks are approximately 40-45cm/16-17.7" long which includes their tapered off, wispy ends and they are approximately 6mm wide.
ENDS: We are gradually transitioning our range so that all dreadlocks come with both ends open and loose, as this is the preferred style for easy attachment. If the colour you’ve selected is still in stock with one blunt end and one open/loose end, that version will be sent. If you’d prefer both ends open, just leave a comment and we’ll make sure to send both ends loose instead.
COLOUR & TONING: Human hair dreadlocks can be dyed, however, due to chemical sanitation, colouring and the hair originating from various sources, it can be difficult to achieve consistent results. We therefore, recommend a colour specialist is consulted. For more information and to check out some excellent colour transformations, click here. Our Blonde dreadlocks also respond well to purple shampoo if you wish to neutralise the yellow base colour. Use purple shampoo only as needed and ensure it is rinsed out well.
If you select Blend, please leave a comment with what colours and how many of each you would like.
WHAT TO EXPECT & RETURNS: Our dreadlock extensions are hand crocheted to a high standard and are used by many locticians which is a testament to their quality. We use a common lengthening/extension making technique to create the extensions which involves using hair that is 9-10” long on average and we add more hair as we build the length. We crochet fairly tightly to minimise maintenance and maximise longevity. In time and with wear, the dreadlocks will mature and evolve becoming somewhat more flexible and softer.
We recommend reviewing your dreadlocks on arrival to make sure you're happy with the colour, look and feel. You can even shampoo one dreadlock to gain a clearer understanding of how they behave and wear. We appreciate the challenges of purchasing on line so we accept returns for exchanges and refunds with the following conditions:
* Any returns must be requested within 7 days of receiving your order.
* Only dreadlocks which are unused, unwashed, unworn and in their original condition are eligible for refund.
* Any initial postage, return and re-postage costs (in the case of exchanges) are at the buyers expense.
* A 10% restocking fee will apply in the event dreadlock extensions are returned for a refund.
* On receipt of your return, the cost of the extensions, less any postage paid and the 10% restocking fee, will be refunded.
MAINTENANCE & LIFESPAN: Shampoo your dreadlocks as needed. Our Dread Empire range of shampoo's deeply clean and create tight, healthy locs. It's normal for loose hairs to escape, particularly as they continue to mature and after shampooing, so use a 0.6mm crochet hook to pull the loose hairs back into the dread. Palm rolling regularly with downward pressure will help shape the dread and avoid excessive shrinking.
Human hair extensions can become more dehydrated than your natural hair, especially the lighter shades. To keep them nourished, we recommend using Dread Empire's Conditioning Spray or Quench Conditioning Oils as needed. While hair stylists typically give regular human hair extensions a lifespan of around 12 months, the care and maintenance you provide will ultimately determine their longevity. Some of our customers have continued wearing our extensions for a couple of years with the right upkeep.
