Extensions
Our crocheted extensions are created only with a crochet hook. They can be used to extend the length of your dreads and thicken dreadlocks. These can be attached to new dreadlocks as they are being installed or to existing dreads. We use 100% human hair for our permanent extensions, which allows for more natural-looking dreadlocks. However, we do have a variety of woollen extensions in our shop for temporary hair accessories.
