Frequently asked questions

Custom and personalized orders

Custom orders usually take around 5-7 business days to complete due to having to (sometimes) find and purchase needed materials for them, working the wool and dyes, and drying time needed, since these are all wet-felted projects. Thank you for understanding!

Custom and personalized orders

I will take your custom order and fulfill it to the best of my abilities, taking your instruction and color combinations to heart. I love the creativity that flows from my customers and always have a great time creating something special for you.
You WILL get correspondence with pictures from me upon completion of the project so there will be NO SURPRISES. You always have an option to opt out of the purchase if you are not 100% satisfied with the project BEFORE it ships. After shipping, I cannot receive back dreads due to sanitary reasons; in other words, you may not buy them, wear them once and then return. Thanks! :)

Sizing details

If you are looking for a full-head install, I recommend using 30-50 double ended (DE) dreadlocks, depending on how thick your hair is and how much weight you estimate you would like to wear in addition to your existing hair. Sets of 30 usually weigh around 8-10 ounces. Dreads are pretty lightweight, but will gain weight when wet.
