Dreadlocks refer to a particular hairstyle that is achieved naturally by allowing the hair to mat together as it grows. If combs, brushes, and scissors aren’t used on the hair, the hair will tangle together as it grows, eventually resulting in the twisted, matted ropes of hair known as dreadlocks. It’s also possible to get artificial dreadlocks, by having dreadlocks attached to the natural hair near the scalp.
Though many people consider dreadlocks a natural style, defining an individual rather than conforming to a fashion statement, others consider the style to be a rebellious statement. Some people do, in fact, grow dreadlocks for political, cultural, or religious belief, but mostly it’s a matter of individual expression. While some individuals who happen to have dreadlocks may have poor personal hygiene, dirtiness is a negative and false connotation associated with dreadlocks because people mistakenly think they’re grown from unwashed hair.
In reality, dreadlocks can be washed and many people who spot dreadlocks, sometimes just called “dreads” or “locks,” It is particularly important to pay attention to dreadlocks, especially to dry them thoroughly when washed.

Adding colours to your dreads can be one of the most exciting parts about having dreads. Colours add a lot of personality to locks. Breaching your dreads can also help your dreads tighten. It will take longer than a regular color application because of the hair density, but they can be whatever color you want. If chemicals aren't right for you, we offer extension hair in a rainbow of colors as an alternative.
Service Duration and Pricing will depend on the colour and the length of hair.
