Description
Real ginger copper dreadlock extensions — that look like they grew straight out of a forest — that’s the most honest way to describe this set. The warm ginger-copper base catches rich highlights in natural light, giving each dread a depth that batch-produced hair extensions simply can’t replicate. These aren’t off-the-shelf. Every single loc is shaped by hand, one at a time.
Ginger Copper, Crafted One Dread at a Time
These human hair dreadlock extensions are made from 100% natural Remy human hair (what is Remy hair?) — cuticle-aligned, every strand running one direction, with a structure similar to European hair. That alignment is what gives the surface its smooth, matte finish instead of a rough or fuzzy texture. Not sure which format suits your install? Read our guide to SE vs DE formats before choosing.
Every dread is hand-crocheted individually — one at a time, start to finish. The crochet-only method takes longest but yields the tightest, most uniform result. Production runs 10–14 days depending on length. Crochet dreadlock extensions made this way are denser and last significantly longer than wrapped alternatives. Over 5,000 handcrafted sets have shipped from the DaddyDread studio.
The ginger copper dreads in this set sit squarely in warm ginger-copper territory — closer to natural copper than orange, with that rich warmth that photographs beautifully in any light. Tips are left loose and slightly wavy, adding soft natural movement at the ends. The set comes decorated with black wooden beads, scattered olive green thread wraps, and a silver pendant charm. The antler-skull pin seen in the photos is a display prop — it is not included in the set.
DE format folds at the braid — two working ends from every attachment point, making double ended dreadlock extensions the standard for a full head set. Single ended ties a single strand per braid for accent or partial installs. Extension crochets directly onto existing locs as permanent dreadlock extensions. All three function as natural dreadlock extensions and loc extensions for blending into an established set.
Available lengths: 25 cm (10″), 30 cm (12″), 35 cm (14″), 40 cm (16″), 45 cm (18″), 50 cm (20″), 55 cm (22″), and 60 cm (24″). A full-head install typically needs 40–50 DE dreads; a partial or accent look works with 20–30. Sets of 10 make it easy to mix and layer shades. Browse all colors and lengths to build the right combination.
Wash weekly at most — dilute shampoo five-to-one with water, work the scalp only, rinse fully. Condition the loose wavy tips after every wash and finger-separate to prevent tangling. Do not comb or brush the dreads — this can damage the loose ends. If the tips get tangled, gently separate them with your fingers. Never use mechanical detangling. The hair is heat-stylable — straighten, curl, or restyle with a protectant applied first. Auburn tones respond well to a red-toning shampoo that preserves warmth; avoid deep-cleansing formulas that strip color.

This ginger-auburn shade pairs naturally with warm chocolate brown or deep copper sets. Mix in 10 DE or 10–20 SE to add dimensional warmth to a darker base. Because these are natural human hair — genuine real hair dreads —, individual dreads can also be dyed to fine-tune the blend — something no synthetic option allows. That flexibility is what makes genuine human hair the superior base material for any long-term dreadlock project.
The ginger-copper base reads warm against virtually any skin tone — worn down, the dreads carry a sun-caught depth that darker shades can’t replicate. Pull them into a half-up bun and the wavy loose tips frame the face with soft copper movement. The black wooden beads sit as dark punctuation against the warm body, while the olive thread wraps add a subtle forest accent that keeps the set from reading one-dimensional. For festival or outdoor wear, this palette holds its character from morning through golden hour.
Remove, dry flat, store flat — reinstall when ready. These reusable extensions aren’t single-season accessories. Handmade dreadlock extensions from natural human hair hold up across many cycles. Long-term customers run the same human hair dreadlock extensions without losing density or color integrity — genuine dread extensions built for the long run.
Studio lighting is held constant across product shoots. Monitor calibration, ambient light, and camera white balance on your end all influence how the auburn reads. Natural human hair also varies between batches — that’s expected, not a defect.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep my ginger copper dreads from fading in the sun?
Copper is one of the most sun-sensitive tones — UV gradually softens the warmth over time. Use a red or warm-toning shampoo weekly to preserve richness, and apply UV hair spray before extended outdoor wear — the same protection you'd use on your own dyed copper hair. Avoid sulfate-heavy and clarifying shampoos.
Which natural hair colour pairs best with ginger copper?
Warm brown, auburn, or chestnut hair blends seamlessly. On blonde or black hair copper reads as a bold accent — install 10–15 pieces as highlights. Black hair? We offer custom root-to-tip fade — dark roots matching your hair, copper through the length. Email daniladaddydread@gmail.com.
Can I blend ginger copper with other dreads to add warmth?
Yes — copper is a natural accent shade. Scatter 10 DE or 10–20 SE pieces through a chocolate brown or auburn base for dimensional warmth. Because each dread is real hair, you can also re-tone individual pieces at home to fine-tune the blend.
Which format fits ginger copper best — DE, SE, or Extension?
DE for a full copper install (40–50 pieces, more volume). SE for partial installs (20–30 pieces, less volume) — ideal for warm highlights through a darker base. Extension attaches directly to existing locs for permanent wear.

Customer Reviews
color is really nice, exactly the copper i wanted. took me a while to get used to the weight when wearing the full set but after few days it feels normal. shipping was a bit slow (about 5 weeks to munich because they make them to order) but the quality is good so its ok. am happy.
My husband loves how these came out. They feel amazing. Very soft. Color is fantastic. I have but only one slight disappointment — the packaging. When they were in the package, the pouch was bent. So the ends midway down are all stuck in this awful bend. We tried everything we could to get this fold to go away, but it just wouldn't. In the end, hot water did the trick — we just dipped the bent part in water and hung them to dry. Once they dried, the dreads were perfectly straight.
