5 out of 5 starsabsolutely stunning! Beautiful colors and impressively well made. I bought these to add volume and color to my natural dreads and these did not disappoint. 💚 Delivery was also surprisingly quick.

5 out of 5 starsSuper Dope Dreads! They look incredible in person! The seller also has great customer service. I needed to change the shipping date of the item a couple of times and she was very accommodating and supportive.

About Black Sunshine
Back in 2004 I started Black Sunshine as a retail business selling alternative clothing.
I also started experimenting with making synthetic dreads and have never stopped.
Since 2011 Black Sunshine has become a solely 'handmade' business, after closing down my bricks and mortar store.
I now sell only my handmade synthetic dreads and accessories via Etsy.
My favourite thing to do is make dreads. Especially the more natural looking crochet dreads. I love mixing colours to come up with great unique combinations.
