Wheat Blonde Ombre Synthetic Dreads, Crochet Dread Extensions with Yellow Wraps

Wheat Blonde Ombre is a set of smooth synthetic dreads, handmade from low-temperature kanekalon in 50 or 60 cm and sold as DE or SE. The colour runs from deep walnut at the roots through honey-wheat to pale natural blonde at the tips. These dreads are a tidy alternative to natural blonde locs, with a flat steamed surface and thread wraps in cream, brown and yellow. Think of a Saturday market, hair pulled half back, and small gold beads near your cheek: that is the everyday case for this set.

The same smooth dread extensions also work for a wedding, a beach trip or a photo shoot. Festival heat, sea air and autumn drizzle leave the surface alone, because the steaming fixes the material for good. Our guide to SE vs DE formats explains which format fits which density and which suits fine, medium or thick hair.

Wheat Blonde Ombre: key facts

Wheat Blonde Smooth Dreads: Colour and Decorations

The colour copies sun-lightened hair: deep walnut at the crown, then tobacco brown and honey-wheat, ending in pale blonde at the tips. The shades flow into each other with no hard lines, so the gradient looks natural. Each 10-DE pack holds 9 identical wheat blonde smooth dreads with this ombre, plus 1 thin three-strand braid with a yellow thread tip.

The decorations change from dread to dread, so the set never looks repetitive. Cream, brown and yellow thread wraps come as fine X-shaped crisscrosses, yellow zigzags and plain bands at uneven spacing. A few gold metal beads sit along the length, and the beads in your set may differ slightly from the photos. The thread colours are kept quiet on purpose: these are flat dread extensions first and decorated dreads second.

The lighter tips help with blending. If your own hair is a similar wheat blonde, the lower third continues it instead of sitting on top. Wheat blonde smooth dreads are also one of the few synthetic ombres that look good as a full set on very pale or greying hair. Darker shades give a much harder contrast there.

DE Dread Extensions and SE Dread Extensions — Full Head Dread Set Guide

The set comes as DE smooth dreads or SE smooth dreads. Double-ended dreads fold over a thin braid of your hair and show two ends, the usual choice for a full smooth install. Single-ended dreads have a loop at the top: it goes onto a strand of your hair, which is then braided around the dread. SE is handy for adding volume without doubling every dread, or for blending smooth dreads into a textured or curly set.

How many you need depends on the density you want and how thick your hair is. The full smooth dread collection shows every length and quantity.

The fiber is premium low-temperature kanekalon: soft, and it keeps a flat surface without fuzzing after the first week. It copes with humidity, light rain and warm weather, but it is not heat-resistant: above 60–70 °C the smooth surface deforms.

Each dread is formed by hand with a comb and a crochet hook, using crochet alone: handmade synthetic dreadlock extensions with no wrapping and no machines. We work dread by dread with our 0.4 mm crochet hook, which packs the fiber more densely than a wider hook would.

You will find the delivery cost and time for your country listed below the buy button. In 13+ years and more than 5,000 sets shipped worldwide, our studio has fine-tuned every step of making smooth dreads.

After crocheting, every dread is steam-set by hand, one at a time, which fixes the material and keeps the surface smooth for the life of the set. Steam-set for the long run, every dread is then checked for thickness (0.8–1 cm along the whole length) and length. A maker with 13 years of experience gives the set a final look before packing. Even 0.8–1 cm dreads keep the set consistent when worn, with no random thick or thin ones. Kanekalon smooth dreads like these keep the same colour from batch to batch, so re-orders match.

Every 10-DE pack: 9 identical wheat blonde ombre dreads and 1 thin three-strand braid.

Bigger packs keep the same ratio of one braid for every ten dreads.

Care, Mixing, and Reusable Synthetic Dreads — Smooth vs Textured Dreads

Care comes down to a few habits. Once a week, mix shampoo with water 1:5, work it into the scalp, rinse and let the set dry in the air. Strong heat warps synthetic smooth crochet dreads for good, so saunas and hot hair dryers are off the list.

Never run a comb or brush through the dreads. Pinch tangles apart at the tips with your fingers, and snip off a knot carefully if it will not come loose. Leave out conditioner, because it loosens the braids of your own hair that hold the dreads. Before bed, twist the length into a soft plait or wear a bonnet. The care and installation guides in the DaddyDread Academy show every step on video.

The wheat blonde palette mixes well with other textures. Pair these wheat blonde smooth dreads with crochet dreadlock extensions in a curly or textured finish: same colour family, different surfaces. That flexibility is a big plus of smooth dreadlock extensions. You can also combine two smooth colours, for example a darker brown ombre at the crown and this wheat blonde at the front for a sun-faded effect. Smooth dreads for fine hair are a good choice for such mixed installs.

Each install lasts 1.5–2 months before the braids are redone, and the dreads come out without harming your own hair. They are reusable dreads: store them loose and dry, and most people install the same set two or three times before moving on. A full head dread set made for repeat use, not for one wear. Both DE and SE formats are easy for first-timers.

We shot the photos in natural daylight, so the shade on your screen may look a little different. The colour stays the same from batch to batch. That is why returning customers buy smooth dread extensions in this shade to add to their sets.
