5 out of 5 starsI finally got round to installing these dreads, and they are amazing! The colours are incredibly vibrant, and they’re super well-made and comfortable to wear - they blended perfectly with my other set, too. They were dispatched quickly and very well-packaged. I absolutely recommend this seller.

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.

Additional policies and FAQs
For a full head of synthetic dreads you will typically need 35-45 double ended or 45-70 single ended dreads, but this can depend on the thickness of your own hair and the dread themselves.
Please note that I do live in a household with cats, although they do not go into my dread making / supplies room.
