How does it work?

For the past 26 years I have worked with dreadlocks daily and through numerous trainings and countless hours I have developed my own method that gives you dreadlocks that both mature quickly and look great right when you leave my salon.

The method that I have developed works so that I start by tying a synthetic fiber thread to the scalp and then the dread is built up by curling and crocheting the hair together using a unique crochet technique to the desired shape that you want. When I have finished working on the dread on your own hair, I weave the matching hair extensions into your own hair, I then continue curling and crocheting until the dread has the desired length. This technique works on all types of hair, it doesn't matter if you have typical thin Scandinavian hair, Asian, Latin or if you have Afro hair, this method works on everyone!

How long do I need my hair to be?

How long does it take to do dreadlocks with extensions at your place? Doing a full head of hair with dreadlock extensions is something that is incredibly time-consuming. You can expect to be with me at the salon between 6-12 hours, it is very difficult to determine exactly how long it will take and it is good if you do not have an appointment in the evening and let it take the time it takes.

 

How long do dreadlocks with extensions last? The durability of dreadlock extensions can last for several years, but keep in mind that if you use light shades, you should go through the extensions once a year to make sure they have not worn out too much. It is therefore a good idea to get at least one maintenance service per year to ensure that your dreadlocks will last a long time.

​

How do you take care of your new dreadlocks?

You can wash your dreadlocks 1-2 times a week, after you have had your dreadlocks for two weeks, with a dreadlocks shampoo. If you want straight, even dreadlocks, you should roll your dreadlocks between your palms once a week to help with the maturation process.
