@mommys_got_lash rocking our swim cap ❤️ it took years of researching various silicone options and experimenting with design to create our swim cap range which is unlike any other long hair cap on the market. Here is a review we received yesterday: 10/10 ALETIA Happy Hair and Swimming Freedom! I love my Dread Cap. My hair was getting so heavy when I was swimming and I love to swim. Getting it wet every day through summer meant my hair was also never drying completely. The Dread Cap means that my hair now gets to dry out properly even though I am swimming every day. I have used my Dread Cap at both the swimming pool and the beach. I may have bought it a little bigger than I needed and did worry that the ‘air bobble’ might cause problems when I dived doing snorkeling but, it has all been awesome. Tracking on postage was comforting and it arrived very promptly with a lovely hair band gift inside too! Totally recommend this product - I love it and have already been sharing this with dread folks that I meet in the surf! Get a cap and keep swimming friends! #dreadlocks #dreads #locs #afrohair #afroswimmers #longhair #curlyhair #naturalhairstyles #naturalhair #swimming #dreadlockstyles #dreadlockstyle #dreadempire

Happy New Year 🥳 we’re starting the year with a clean up of old stock. We have a large bundle of Backcombed & Twisted single ended dreads added to the Seconds listing. 10 pack only $11.95 AUD! These are much looser than our regular stock but the upside to that means that they’re super soft, flexible and very light.

NEW PRODUCT TRIAL with $10 store credit ~ here is a new shampoo bar formula like no other bar on the dreadlock market! Hello Bottle in a Bar❤️ Our current range of Shampoo Bars are made using a cold pressed soap making process where coconut, sunflower and olive oils are saponified to release the ‘soap’ component of the oil. They are 100% organic, made using only natural ingredients which are close to their raw form and require little processing. These are very popular and if you're loving them, awesome keep doing what works for you! But like anything, whilst they're popular they may not suit everyone, particularly those with hard water or those who are struggling to transition from regular commercial shampoos… and that’s where Bottle in a Bar slots into the Dread Empire line up! Bottle in a Bar is a shampoo bar sometimes referred to a Syndet bar, made using solid ingredients much closer to that of liquid shampoos and your hair will feel just as it would if a liquid shampoo was used. There will be no adjustment period and they will work much more effectively in hard water. All ingredients are plant derived but they are more rigorously processed and therefore less natural than that of our original range. Wrapped only in a bio degradable plastic wrap, these make for an eco friendly shampoo option which are also convenient little travellers. $10 STORE CREDIT ~ to redeem your credit, provide your feedback within 1 month of receiving the bar. See further information on the listing. https://www.dreadlocks.com.au/shampoo-bars/334-875-bottle-in-a-bar-trial-product-10-cash-back.html #/211-flavour-bergamot_sage #dreads #dreadlocks #locs #dreadlocksdaily #dreadlockstyle #dreadempire #shampoobar #ecofriendly #organic #organichaircare #syndet
