I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Custom and personalized orders
I accept custom orders and I can do any dreads/beads which you can imagine
How long do synthetic dreads last?
Synthetic dreads can last anywhere from a few months to several years, depending on how well they're cared for and how often they're worn. Proper maintenance and gentle handling can help extend the lifespan of your synthetic dreads.
Can I wash my dreads?
Yes, you can wash your dreads, but it's important to use a gentle shampoo and avoid scrubbing or rubbing the hair too vigorously. You should also avoid using heavy conditioners or oils, which can weigh down the hair and make it difficult to maintain the shape of your dreads.
How do I maintain my dreadlocks?
To maintain your dreadlocks, you should separate the sections of hair regularly to prevent them from growing together. You can also palm roll your dreads to keep them tight and neat, and use a crochet hook to tidy up loose hairs or frizz.
How long does it take to install dreadlocks?
The amount of time it takes to install dreadlocks can vary depending on a number of factors, including the length and thickness of your hair, the method used to create the dreads, and the skill level of the stylist. In general, it can take several hours or even a full day to install a full head of dreads.
Can I swim with dreadlocks?
Yes, you can swim with dreadlocks, but it's important to protect your hair from chlorine and saltwater, which can be drying and damaging. You can wear a swim cap or wrap your hair in a towel to help keep it dry, and rinse your hair thoroughly with fresh water after swimming to remove any salt or chlorine.
