30 x Crocheted Human Hair Dreadlock Extensions + Free Dread Band (8mm thick)

Our crocheted human hair dreadlocks have been created with high quality straight human hair using only a comb and crochet hook. No products, waxes or chemicals have been used in their creation. These extensions can be crocheted to the bottom of brand new or existing dreads for seamless and permanent length.

INCLUSIONS: 30 Individual crocheted human hair dreadlocks 

LENGTH/SIZE: Our dreadlocks are approximately 40-45cm/16-17.7" long which includes their tapered off, wispy ends and they are approximately 8mm 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.

QUALITY, WEAR & 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. 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 dreadlocks, it's normal for loose hairs to escape in time, particularly after shampooing and occasional maintenance may be required by using a crochet hook to pull any escapees back into the dreadlock. 

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 via Etsy within 2 business days of receiving your order. Additional days may be required by Etsy and your bank to finalise the return of funds.

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.

FREE HEADBAND: A free headband is included for purchases of 30+ human hair dreadlocks. These are super comfy, made from cotton and are lovely and wide - perfect for taming a head of dreads. You are welcome to leave a comment on the order with your preferred colour (check out the available colours here) or if there is no comment, a random colour will be sent.

INSTALLATION: Use a 0.6mm crochet hook to attach the extension to the bottom of your own dreadlock. One end of the extension is blunt/rounded whilst the other tapers off into an undreaded wispy end and either end can be used for attachment depending on how you would like the end of your dreads to be finished.lengthen your hair:
