Synthetic Dreadlocks Extensions

Synthetic dreadlocks are a type of hair extension that mimics the appearance of natural dreads. They are typically made from synthetic fibers such as kanekalon or jumbo braid, and are created by twisting and braiding the synthetic hair around sections of natural hair.

Synth dreads can be installed using various methods, such as crochet, backcombing, or braiding. They can also come in various colors and lengths, allowing for a wide range of customization options.

Synthetic dreadlocks can be a great option for those who want to experiment with the dread style without committing to the long process of growing natural dreadlocks. They can also be a good choice for those who have fine or short hair that may not be able to support the weight of natural dreadlocks. Or add temporary color or texture to real dreads.
