Are you ready to get started on your dreadlocks? Here is some info on your installation you will find useful!
How long does your hair have to be?
If you want dreadlocks, then your hair must be at least 15 cm long. Please remember that immediately after you get them, your hair will stick up if you have very short hair. This will continue until they soften up a bit.
My services for installation
I never use anything else other than a simple crochet hook to start dreads. You will find no wax or chemicals in this salon because I believe this process should be kept 100 percent natural and organic.
Depending on how long your hair is and how thick you would like your dreads to be, the process in itself varies in length. It can take between 3 and plus 12 hours.
I work with all types of hair and start dreadlocks on them. However, I do not provide extensions.
What you need to do prior to starting dreadlocks
Make sure you properly wash and detangle your hair one day before coming in the salon. Allow your locks to dry on their own. Get some beauty sleep! 🙂

What do you need to do after having dreadlocks installed?

Yes, you can go bathing is the sea. In fact, sea salt is amazing for dreads!
