Regular price £23.99
Unit price per
Our black synthetic dreadlock extensions are single-ended and are made by the backcombing and crochet method making them long-lasting and very durable. Unlike some cheaper synthetic dreadlocks, these haven't been twisted or wrapped so they will not fall apart or unwind. Not only do they resemble the look of real human hair dread extensions, but they are also extremely lightweight and flexible too.
Sometimes extensions may feel slightly stiff to start with but they soften over time from being worn.
These synthetic dreadlocks are around 8mm thick and 24inches/ 61cm long. There is a loop at the top for temporary braid in application or crochet onto existing dreadlocks for permanent installation and instant length!
This price includes 10 individual dreadlock extensions. Please select more quantities as needed.
For a full head of dread, 50-60 dreadlocks is usually enough.
Material: Kanekalon synthetic hair.
Installation into un-dreaded hair:
- Take a section of your hair and gently spray with a little water ( a little water helps to smooth your hair and allow for a tighter installation with less fuzz!)
- Pull the hair through the loop of the synthetic dreadlock.
- Push the dreadlock up to your root and split your own hair in two so you have three pieces including the extension. ( Like you would have three pieces for a braid)
- Braid the extension and the hair together and secure with a small elastic.
Our Installation Kit has everything you need for easy install
Permanent installation to real dreadlocks
- Cut the loop at the top so you have a few cm of loose synthetic hair. Overlap this hair onto your existing dread and crochet together.
How to care for synthetic dreads
These synthetic dreadlocks have been created to the highest quality so not much maintenance will be required. Now and again you may want to pull in a few loose hairs should they occur with a crochet hook and general washing to keep them fresh and clean.
How to clean
You can wash your synthetic dreadlocks with a non-residue shampoo such as Dollylocks Liquid Shampoo. Simply squeeze a small amount onto your palm and massage it into your scalp. Rinse thoroughly.
In a rush? Try our Dollylocks Cleansing Spray. Spray directly onto the scalp and allow to penetrate for a few minutes. Wipe any excess oils, residue and excess product.

Spiralocks Size Guide
30cm: Extra short length.
Great for pigtails or half updos. Also great for tying up dread mohawks. It's a great option for those who have a thin partial dreads to hold secure. Even if you do not have dreadlocks, but your hair is thick, curly or unruly, then this extra small SpiraLock will be great for you too.
40cm: Small length.
Great for those with new baby dreads that are still short, thin and light. Also great for those with partial dreads or use for space buns and half updos on longer locks. Also good for light synthetic extensions and for a quick and easy low pony tail.
50cm: Medium length.
Great for those with medium length dreadlocks that are a bit heavier and past the shoulders or quite thick. To secure a ponytail on medium length dreadlock, the spiralock needs to wrap at least 2 times.
60cm: Large length.
Great for thick, long, heavy dreads, mid to lower back. For a secure high pony tail, the spiralock should wrap 2.5 to 3 times for a secure hold on heavy, long dreads. Also a good size for a dread bun for medium length dreads.
80cm: Extra large length.
This is our super size spiralock which is needed for those with super long and heavy dreads that are waist length or longer. Also great for big dread buns that need a couple of wraps to hold secure.
