Welcome to Daddy Dreads, where we bring the art of dreadlocks to life with care, creativity, and expertise. Whether you’re exploring synthetic dreads for the first time or looking for tips on maintaining your locks, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about rocking your dream dreadlocks!
What Are Synthetic Dreads Made Of?
Our synthetic dreads are crafted from high-quality Henlon Hair. This premium material ensures your dreads look stunning and feel comfortable. Unlike other synthetic options, Henlon Hair doesn’t have a chemical coating. That means less itching and irritation for your scalp. Plus, the lightweight nature of the material makes wearing dreads an enjoyable experience for everyone.
Are Synthetic Dreads Safe for Your Hair?
Yes, they are! When installed correctly and removed after 1,5-2 months, synthetic dreads won’t harm your natural hair. Here are some tips to keep your locks safe:
- Proper Sections: Ensure the sections are large enough to avoid putting too much strain on your hair.
- Gentle Removal: Use a seam ripper to cut the elastics without damaging your hair.
- Post-Removal Care: After removing the dreads, brush your hair with conditioner to prevent tangles.
By following these steps, you’ll keep your natural hair healthy and ready for your next set of dreads!
Choosing the Perfect Dread Set
Starting with synthetic dreads? Here are some helpful tips to make the right choice:
- Go Short for Sensitivity: If your scalp is sensitive, start with shorter dreadlocks to ease into the experience.
- Stick to Recommended Volume: Begin with the recommended number of dreads to let your scalp adjust comfortably.
- Try Partial Dreads: Unsure about a full head? Opt for partial dreads to get a feel for the style without committing entirely.
These small steps can make your dreadlock journey much smoother and more enjoyable.
Washing and Maintaining Synthetic Dreads
It’s a myth that you can’t wash dreadlocks. You absolutely can! Here’s how to keep them clean and fresh:
- Shampoo: Use spray or liquid shampoo specifically designed for synthetic dreads. Wash them once a week.
- Refreshing Spray: Keep your scalp feeling fresh between washes with a refreshing spray.
With proper care, your dreads will look and feel amazing for months.
Getting Ready for Installation
Preparation is key to ensuring a smooth installation process. Follow these steps:
- Research: Watch videos and gather information to know what to expect.
- Color Choices: Find inspiration for colors and styles you love. At Daddy Dreads, we’re happy to help with personalized color advice.
- Avoid Conditioner: Don’t use conditioner before installation, as it softens the hair, making it harder for dreads to stay tight.

How Many Dreads Do You Need?
For a full head of dreads, the number you need can vary based on the volume you want:
- Balanced Look: Two bundles of single-ended and two bundles of double-ended dreads create the perfect balance.
- More Volume: Go for three bundles of double-ended and one single-ended bundle for extra fullness.
- Less Volume: Choose three single-ended bundles and one double-ended bundle for a lighter look.
Every head of hair is unique, and we’re here to help you find the right combination for your style.
