🛑 STOP braid in dread extensions from slipping by adding a little elastic at the top of the braid. I’m demonstrating here on a single ended loop but same principle can be applied for double enders.
We have Heavy Duty Pro Elastics on our website and THE best way to secure extensions is with our extension thread! The thread is very durable and strong, comes in four colours and allows you to create a lovely, seamless attachment.

Meet Molly! Her beautiful locs have been growing and evolving for over 7 years. In recent years, Molly has installed a mix of our human hair dreadlock extensions in with her own locs. The first pic demonstrates just how well they have taken hair dye! Recently, we’ve completed a lovely custom ordered bunch of locs and can’t wait to see them installed.
Thanks @the_little_bird_studio for sharing such lovely pics ❤️ #dreadlockextensions #dreadextensions #dreadempire #humanhairdreadextensions #dreads #dreadlocks #hippyhairMay 13th 2025 -

Love this 😍 Our synthetic dreadlock extensions were braided in for temporary wear and have now been crocheted permanently in by the amazing @twistedroots.byleaf 🙌🏼 Braid in extensions are such a good way to trial the style before going all in.

Dreads can most definitely work in thin and fine hair. In fact, they create so much volume! Here’s a few recommendations:
⭐️ Work with what you have so go for a thinner dread and make your sections smaller. This will minimise the amount of scalp showing where the hair is sectioned.
⭐️ Consider a partial head leaving the top undreaded. Again, this will help cover the scalp and soften the look.
⭐️ When maintaining, avoid making the base of the dreads too tight. Tension can lead to breakage and further thinning and tight bases expose more scalp.
⭐️ Did you know, more hair can also be added to a dread to thicken it up? Just becareful not to make it too heavy which leads to tension - it’s a great option if you have just a couple of thin dreads you want thickened.

There’s plenty of ways to crochet dreads and in our How to Make Dreadlocks tutorial, we keep it as simple as possible so anyone can pick up a hook and get dreading! The method on display here is a little more complicated but with a bit of practice, it producers a lovely tight, condensed dread.
Essentially, you’re grabbing hair from the outer circumference of the dreadlock and forming a web around the backcombed core.
Let’s break it down…
1️⃣ Take your backcombed section of hair and scrape the hook across the back from left to right grabbing a few hairs as you go.
2️⃣ Now roll your hook so it’s now facing towards the hair and scrape the front from left to right.
3️⃣ Repeat this action, slowly moving down the length of the dread.
4️⃣ It’s also good idea to go back over the newly crocheted section and focus more on the core, pushing the hook in and out of the centre, focusing particularly on areas which are a little bit looser.
