This listing is for 10 dreadlock extensions, approximately 60cm / 23” long and 7mm wide. They feature a built-in loop at the top, allowing them to be braided in for temporary wear or they can be permanently crocheted in.
Full Description
Our ombre human hair dreadlock extensions are hand made available in three ombre colour combos. The loop at the top allows for easy braiding in for temporary wear or they can be used to lengthen existing dreadlocks. We expertly crochet for maximum longevity and whilst they are perfectly uniform initially, they will evolve as they mature and become more flexible.
INCLUSIONS: 10 Individual dreadlocks.
LENGTH & THICKNESS: Dreadlocks are approximately 7mm wide and 60cm / 23" in length which includes 20cm of long loose ends which taper in.
COLOURS:
Sandy Blonde Ombre ~ #26 Sandy Blonde down to #613 Light Blonde
Mid Brown Ombre ~ #8 Mid Brown down to #10 Sandy Brown
Dark Brown Ombre ~ #2 Dark Brown down to #30 Mid Warm Brown
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.
** Dreadlocks which have been altered with colour treatments are not eligible for return.
QUALITY, CARE & LIFESPAN: Our dreadlocks are hand crocheted using hair which is on average 9-10" long. 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.
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.
CUSTOM ORDERS: If we don't have the colour or size to suit your needs, please email contact@dreadlocks.com.au with your requirements for a quote on a custom order.
INSTALLATION: The single ended loop at the top allows for easy braid in installation and they can be worn for up to 2-3 months. Alternatively, if you wish to permanently crochet them into your own dreadlocks, you can cut the loop off at the top.
If you wish to extend existing dreadlocks, crochet to the bottom of your existing dreads for instant length. We have the perfect size hook (0.6mm) available here. One end of the extension is blunt/rounded whilst the other tapers off into an undreaded wispy end. Either end can be used for attachment depending on how you would like the end of your dreads to be finished.
The below video demonstrates how to use extensions to extend existing dreadlocks.

Returns
Softness / Flexibility
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.
