These are my trademark product. By far the most popular of the synthetic dreads due to their natural look amongst other things.

Synthetic Dreads are attached using the 'double-ended' method...this involves braiding half of each dread with your own hair, and holding them in place using elastic bands. We make the dreads to you're specific requirements...which means any length, thickness and colours, candycane swirls, transitional colours etc.

Handmade dreads are more realistic looking, as they are made by back-combing synthetic braiding hair which results in slightly 'fluffier' dreads than the pre-made Elysee Stars manufactured dreads. As the dreads are totally seperate, they can actually be re-used time and time again (unlike with braids when the hair must be disposed of). This means future appointments for dread re-attachment are much cheaper than the original, as you are providing the dreads!

Unlike real dreadlocks this also means you can remove the synthetic dreads after a few months, and give you're hair a thorough wash before having them re-attached...and it is also much easier to change the colours as often as you like!

These are a very temporary and effective alternative to real dreadlocks - and most people cannot even tell the difference! They are also much easier to maintain than real dreadlocks, as they require no rolling with wax.

We can also use other materials such as thick wool 'roving', strips of foam and rexlace plastic using this same method of attachment...please enquire if you are interested!!

 We use pre-made 'Elysee Star' manufactured dreads, which look very sleek and uniform. Many of the dreads are also reactive to UV blacklight. You are required to choose colours and leave a deposit with us before your appointment, so we can order the required dreads.

Synthetic Dreads are attached using the 'double-ended' method...this involves braiding half of each dread with your own hair, and holding them in place using elastic bands. The Elysee Star dreads come in a standard length of 24in when installed. We have shortened the dreads in the past using heat to melt the ends (see HERE and HERE) but this results in much blunter, melted dread ends (rather than the more natural tapered ends they usually have)

As the dreads are totally seperate, they can actually be re-used time and time again (unlike synthetic braiding hair, which must be disposed of). This means future appointments for dread re-attachment are much cheaper than the original, as you are providing the dreads!

Unlike real dreadlocks this also means you can remove the synthetic dreads after a few months, and give you're hair a thorough wash before having them re-attached...and it is also much easier to change the colours as often as you like!

Another benefit is the fact that synthetic dreads take me up to 1.5 hours to complete a full head ....much quicker than braids!!
