Brown Blonde Boho Ombre Textured Dread Extensions with Feathers

These brown blonde boho ombre textured dread extensions go from chocolate-brown roots through warm caramel to light, sun-bleached tips. They are three-tone synthetic dreadlock extensions made by hand with a crochet hook and a comb, and the bumpy surface is set with boiling water so it stays. From the first install they have a mature loc look, not the fresh look of new synthetic dreads.

Eight to ten thread wraps in cream, chocolate and copper-brown run along the dreads. White wooden beads sit on some of them, and gold-tone star, leaf and wing pendants hang near the middle. Brown-striped natural feathers are tied to three or four tips with thread. The relief makes these brown blonde textured dreads look as if they have been worn for a while, which gives them an organic look.

Brown blonde boho ombre: key facts

Boho Textured Dread Extensions with Sun-Bleached Tips

Brown-to-blonde ombre is one of the colours our customers ask for most, and we have been making textured dreads for 13+ years. On your own hair this kind of relief takes months to form; with these dreads you have it on the day you put them in. If these are your first bohemian dreadlocks and you are not sure which format to choose, read our DE vs SE comparison guide. The set is a good start if you want raw synthetic dreads with a worn-in finish.

The colour changes in three steps. The roots are deep chocolate brown, almost espresso. The middle is lighter, caramel with a touch of honey. The tips are sandy blonde, and the ridged texture looks slightly different on each shade. The bumpy surface is equally dense from top to tip because we set it with boiling water, so there are no flat spots.

Cream wooden beads sit on some of the dreads. Cream and chocolate cotton thread wraps cross down the dread, and copper-brown thread on two or three dreads adds warmth.

The pendants are small gold-tone metal stars, leaves and wings, and brown-striped natural feathers are tied at three or four tips. Every set comes with one thin 3-strand braid for every 10 DE dreads (or every 20 SE dreads). It helps the dreads blend with your own hair, which matters if you want natural-looking synthetic dreads.

Hand-Crocheted Kanekalon Textured Dreads, Boiling-Water-Set

Each dread is handmade in three steps. First the fiber is backcombed with a comb. Then it is crocheted, loop by loop, usually with a 0.4 mm crochet hook, or a 0.6 mm hook for thicker dreads. Finally the dread is treated with boiling water to fix the relief. A full textured set takes 1–3 days of hand work in our studio. Backcombing, crocheting, boiling water: that is how we make all our textured dreads.

All dreads in the set are made of Kanekalon. The relief survives rain, humidity and long wear. The dread holds together through crochet braiding alone, with no machines and no wrapping. After the boiling water the surface stays bumpy for good, so you get an instant mature look without months of waiting.

Each dread is 0.8–1 cm thick along its whole length, and every finished set is checked by a maker with more than ten years of experience. This is how every one of our 5,000+ sets shipped worldwide was made.

How to Wear DE and SE Textured Dread Extensions and Reuse the Set

There are two formats. DE textured dreads fold over a thin braid of your own hair. They have no loop, both ends hang free, and they suit a full-head install. SE textured dreads have a loop at the top. The loop goes onto a strand of your hair, and that strand is then braided around the dread and secured. SE works well for accents or a partial set.

A full head takes 40–50 DE dreads or 80–100 SE. For a partial install, 20–30 DE dreads are enough. You will find matching shades in the full textured dread collection, and our article on dreadlock texture types explains textured vs smooth dreadlocks in detail. These double ended textured dreads also mix well with our other crochet dreadlock extensions from the textured collection.

One install lasts 1.5–2 months, then the braids are redone. The dreads come out without harming your own hair. The set is reusable: most customers wear the same handmade dreadlock extensions two or three times, and the relief is still there each time. The set needs no rest between installs and can go straight back in.

Washing: once a week, wash your scalp with shampoo diluted 1:5 with water. Let the dreads air-dry and do not use a hot hair dryer. Skip conditioner: the dreads are braided onto a thin braid of your own hair, and conditioner makes that braid come loose faster. The DaddyDread Academy has detailed care and installation videos.

Detangling: do not comb or brush textured dreads. Separate tangled tips gently with your fingers. If a knot is badly tangled, you can carefully cut it off.

Heat: keep the dreads away from saunas and other strong heat. The relief is permanent, but high heat can still damage it.

Storage: before you put the set away, let it dry fully and keep it in a dry place.

One more time, because it matters most: no strong heat near these dreads. Saunas and hot hair dryers only damage the relief.

This ombre looks good next to smooth dreads in similar shades, where the bumpy and smooth surfaces contrast nicely. You can also add a darker textured ombre for a deeper colour.

The decorations in the photos (beads, thread wraps, pendants and feathers) come with the set, though your beads may not match the photos exactly. The yellow dress, gold chain and macramé in our studio photos are props and are not part of the order. The colours were photographed in soft daylight, and your screen may show them slightly warmer or cooler.
