Dreadlock Extensions

We use high quality Human Hair or Wool to make our extension. They can be purchased and sent to you or you can have them installed in our studio. We always ask you to come in for a colour consultation so we can achieve the perfect match. We tend to blend our hair and use multiple colours to achieve the perfect natural look.

Or with our Wool extensions we have a huge option of colours and love the colour match challenge when dying our wools. All colours are possible so let the mind go wild!

For Human Hair we prefer to make them on the hair so each DreadLock fits perfectly, please see time lapse. This way of installing will take much longer around 6 hours and sometimes two sittings will be needed but it’s our preferred method for high quality work.

PLEASE NOTE : if we are adding extension of any kind to existing Dreadlocks or swapping out wool for real or vise verse please insure the old extensions are removed and the ends of your dreadlocks brushed out to atleast 3 inches.
