General questions

These are single strand dreads that have a loop at the end that is needed for braiding. You have to pull your separated piece of hair throughthis loop and divide it into two, then you can complete the triple braiding with the single strand.

Watch a video about the technique here.

These represent 2 threads. Practically a long strand folded in half in the middle. This is where the triple braiding starts with 2 pieces of your hair.

Watch a video about the technique here.

This form of dreads is for those who already have real locks of their own hair and want to extend them. For this, practically simple locks are needed, but without a loop, with a combed part at one end, which is crocheted into the end of the real lock. Installation requires a more
experienced hand, or perhaps the help of a maker.

It is a faster option to get dreads, need just some minutes to install, some clips fix the wig in your own hair. If you dont have hair, I added an elastic band what you have to knot at your back of your head

Dreadlocks/dreads or rasta?

Let’s respect each other and with respect to religion, whoever feels that he is not close to it, is not a practitioner, refers to his locks as dreads or dreadlocks, not rasta. Although I think that those who really follow the religion seriously do not care about what others say about their locks, many people are bothered by the existence of “fake dreadlocks”, which also includes dreads made of wool, synthetic and human hair.

Accordingly, on my site you will see the names “lock”, “dread” or “dreadlock”, which mean the same thing: felted or crocheted threads, mainly wool, but there will also be examples of human and synthetic hair.
Braidable dreads are a form of hair extension/replacement, like the others, just cool. A professional hairstylist is not absolutely necessary
to apply them, anyone with patience and knowledge of triple braiding or blanket stitch braiding methode can apply them to their own hair.

First of all, I would like to clarify a few concepts for the sake of complete newcomers. Since people often only come across English expressions, I will also add them, and where possible, I will share some video content for easier understanding.

This is a more permanent change, in this case the person’s own hair is separated, then backcombed, and finally crocheted, this is the so-
called crochet technique. Of course, there are more and less crocheted versions of this, I use the latter myself. In this case, the hair gets more space for the natural felting processes, the lock becomes softer, there are no tight roots, hard locks, sleepless nights, reddened scalp, etc.

In addition, there is the “twist and rip” method, when the detached pieces of hair is twisted around itself and then pulled in two several times in a row. Then the hair will locking up. Doesnt crochetl, or they only crochet minimally. In this case, the dreads locking up and lost length a lot during their “matureing” and an almost “Free form” look is achieved.

Yes, “free form” means that the hair locking up themselves, they just have to be separate from time to time apart, not crocheted, palm rolling as much as needed. You can find very nice free forms, if the person’s hair does not want to come together in a beaver tail.

Maybe these informations are enough for the start, lets do a search on the website and ask your questions in pm. If you need a set from me in the webshop you find blank sets which are waiting for your colors.

Thicknesses: micro 3-5mm, pencil 5-8mm, ~1cm 8-10mm, thick 10-12mm, in English there is also the sharpie, which is usually used, means
a thickness of 12-15mm (these are only informative and they are definitely typical of my shop).

It can be practically any length. However, it is worth considering that these locks are light when dry, but become heavy when wet and may be uncomfortable until they dry or too much weight can put a strain on the scalp in the long term (I’m thinking here, for example, of meter-long locks, which I no longer recommend).

A well-made work can be worn for years. I have more than one customer who has been wearing his single set for many years. And I have
more than one guest whose own locks I have spliced with human hair, or wool, or synthetic hair. A well-made job will last for years and does not require more than necessary maintenance. In the case of plaits, one plait lasts 2-6 weeks. There are those who continue to wear it, but by this time the hair grows out and the braid loosens. In such cases, the braids must be untied, the strands taken out, the scalp rested for a few days, and then the strands can go back to
their usual place (cleaning and maintenance advice can be found under the appropriate menu item).

Many people cannot tell the difference between a sensitive scalp and an allergic reaction. In the case of synthetic hair, the latter also often occurs, because some of the makers are not careful enough during production and do not do a complete job with the raw material.

With wool, this can happen if you are allergic to lanolin. It is the natural constituent of wool. Of course, there is also anti-allergenic, lanolin-
free wool what can be used for a custom set.

If you find that your scalp itches, but only your scalp, not your neck or shoulders, if small, red dots appear at the base of the braids and bulge out… don’t be afraid, you are not allergic, your scalp is simply sensitive and you have some tension bumps. This happens to many people for the first time. It can be caused by the texture (straight wool locks have a smooth surface, this does not usually happen there), the tight braiding, or even the sudden extra weight. This usually lasts for a few days and typically occurs in areas with baby hair, along the hairline. If you feel a burning sensation everywhere the material touches you and your skin is red and itchy, I recommend that you wear it as soon as possible.

FREQUENTLy ASKED QUESTIONS

Lock based waves | Maintenance of braidable and permanent wool extensions

* Separate them every or every other day after install

* Wash just your scalp, a sponge is the best, once a week, not more needed.

* if you wash them, leave them dry on air or use cold option on your hairdryer – keep care for your scalp, dont make cold them too much

* Use satin/silk pillow case for sleep, its always good for real and fake dreads from synthetic hair

* Braid them for 2 big braids for sleeping

* if the ends tangled, you have to take them apart gently or cut them off.

* with good care they are reusable more times

* wear them for 2-6 weeks/session, depending how you feel yourself about them and the install

* if the dreaded part start to be frizzy, when they are off you can use on them boiling water: just hang the dreaded part in for half a minute. Leave the hot water come off from them and hang them out to dry (this is the same way as normal synthetic dreads). Keep out the waves from hot water.

* for installing use the blanket stitch method

* have fun with them and send me back after install pic 😉

The following couple of maintenance and care tips are the same for all textures

* clean only by hand (even on the wool program in the washing machine, it clumps together), it is recommended to wash them in hand warm water, without soap, with normal shampoo to save the color

* wool is heavy when wet, so it is recommended to clean braidable extensions when they are not installed into the hair. It is recommended to clean the scalp with hairalcohol when wearing the locks, and to concentrate on the scalp when washing the hair with shampoo.

* textured dreads keep their shape even after washing, straight ones should be pulled out a little when you hang them out to dry

* if braidable wool dreads colors fade, you can send them to me for redye (the weather, the number of washes, the strength of UV lights all affect the color, so this is not a warranty repair). I use wool dye, but based on customer feedback, hair dyes and semi permanent hair dyes
also work on it. If you have permanent wool extensions crochted into your own locks, you can also do a test with hair dye (I cannot take
responsibility for the results of this, because I don’t do it myself).

* textured sets and free, hairy, wispy ends may shed for a while, this is due to the length of the wool. Unlike straight dreads, textured woolies are made from longwool that continue the felting process in your hair. You may experience some sheding, but this will stop in a couple of
weeks.

* you can keep the free ends under control by palmrolling them, if necessary. But their frizzyness will also stops.

FREQUENTLy ASKED QUESTIONS

Dread wigs

Wigs can be made from synthetic hair and wool. I made some synthetic dreadlock wig before but Im not a big fan of synthetic hair so I stopped to make them. Than I made some search and found out how to make wool dreads withoute a synthetic base. The advantage is the
installation: braidable woolies need hours to be installed, the wig need just some minutes: you can fix the wi with clips in your hair. Because of the weight I make wigs from just textured long wool. This type of wool is lighter than merino so the wig base wouldnt lost the flexibility. For install use a band to hide the „hairline” so the wig will be very lifelike. The cleaning methode is the same as the braidable woolies, check the maintaince guide under the ’services/FAQ’ menu.
