Our Semi Crocheted Synthetics are considered our entry level dreadlocks. They are easy to install by braiding in and a great way to trial the dreaded look.

Description

INCLUSIONS: 10 individual synthetic dreadlock extensions. Approximately 55cm/21.5inches long and 8mm wide. 

THE LOOK: Our entry level Semi Crocheted dreadlock extensions are made by crocheting the outer layer of hair and wrapping it around a bundle of undreaded hair. Whilst the twist is somewhat evident, the textured outer layer provides an authentic look. If you are after our premium option which do look just like real dreads and are softer and more flexible, check our premium Crocheted Synthetic range here.

COLOUR: The colours available appear in the drop down box. If you want a variety of colours, please select Blend and leave a comment with the colours you want and how many of each. 

WEAR & CARE: Our dreadlock extensions will last indefinitely and if braided in, can be worn for many weeks and even months at a time, depending on how quickly your hair grows. They can get wet, washed and shampooed as per your normal hair. Occasional maintenance may be required to tidy them up by either crocheting in any loose hairs or re heat sealing.

HOW MANY DO I NEED FOR A FULL HEAD? On average, most people have about 50 dreads for a full head and more if you want extra volume.

OTHER ITEMS YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN: Our Latch Hook makes pulling the section of your own hair through the loop easy peasy and Nylon Dreadlock Extension Thread is the perfect way to secure the extension. It's discreet, very strong and long lasting and will allow you to capture the loose hairs from the braid making for a neater finish.

INSTALLATION: Pull a section of your own hair through the loop at the top and then split the bundle of your own hair in two. Using the extension itself as the third piece braid the extension in place using either a regular three strand braid or blanket stitch braid. 

Our Nylon Dreadlock Extensions Thread is a great way to secure your dreadlock extension because it is discreet, very strong and long lasting and allows you to bind the ends of your own hair to the dread so it offers a neater finish. As you near the end of the braid, wrap the thread around the end of the braid capturing the ends of your hair and tie off in a knot.

Pro Elastics are another quick and easy way to secure the braid. For a more temporary option, sewing the extensions to our hair extension clips offers quick, temporary in and out installation. 

EXTENDING EXISTING DREADLOCKS: These extensions can be permanently crocheted to the bottom of existing dreadlocks to add length. Please note though that the twist is still somewhat evident and they may require occasional maintenance. Whilst our Human Hair and 100% Crocheted Synthetics are the premium choice when it comes to extending existing dreadlocks, if you don't mind the twist and a little more maintenance then these are still a good option. They can also be temporarily looped around the base of existing dreads to add volume and colour highlights.
