Vanliga frågor

How do you create dreadlocks?

We create and maintain your dreadlocks with gentle backcombing and crochet work, with no chemicals or strong waxes. If you like, we can also crochet in human hair to give your dreads length and volume right away.

How often do dreadlocks need maintenance?

Dreadlocks are a lasting style that develops and matures over time if you wash them regularly with a deep-cleansing, residue-free shampoo. To keep them tight and tidy we recommend a maintenance visit with our stylist every three to six months.

What is the difference between human hair dreads and synthetic ones?

Unlike temporary braids or synthetic braid styles, real dreadlocks are a longer-term style that requires a specific crochet technique. Our dread extensions in human hair also age and behave just like your own hair, which synthetic dreads do not.

Who do dreadlocks suit?

Dreadlocks work for almost every hair type. We help both you who want to start new dreads and you who need help with new growth or frizzy lengths on existing ones.

Can you extend my dreads?

Yes. We crochet human hair into your dreads so you get the length and volume you want right away. The hair blends in and matures together with your own dreads.

Can I wash dreadlocks like normal hair?

Wash regularly with a residue-free shampoo, but skip conditioner and masks - they make the hair slippery so the dreads loosen. Dry them thoroughly after every wash.

Can dreadlocks be removed?

The hair we crochet in comes out without any trouble. Your own dreads can often be combed out, but it takes a long time and wears on the hair - many choose to cut them off instead.

What hair is used for extensions?

Human hair, crocheted into your existing dreads. It ages and behaves like your own hair, unlike synthetic dreads.

Can I work out and swim with dreadlocks?

Yes. What matters is that they dry completely afterwards, preferably with a blow dryer - moisture left inside a dread causes odor and a risk of mildew.

Do you use wax or chemicals?

No. We work with backcombing and crochet, without chemicals, glue or heavy waxes. Wax builds up residue inside the dreads that is hard to get out.

Maintenance
Over time loose hair grows out at the roots and the lengths can get frizzy. At a maintenance visit we crochet in the new growth, tighten loose strands and separate dreads that have grown together. Book maintenance every three to six months.

Care at home
Clean hair dreads better than dirty hair. Wash regularly with a residue-free shampoo and skip conditioner and masks, which make the hair slippery. Dry the dreads thoroughly after every wash, preferably with a blow dryer, so no moisture is trapped inside.
