New Dreadlokk Creation
New Dreadlokk Creation
Lokktology Dreads creates new dreadlocks using the crochet hook method. This technique must be done on clean, dry hair. I section the hair first. Sections may be square or triangular, and the size of the sections will depend on the hair density, texture and desired dreadlock thickness. Sectioning is typically done "brick-lay" style, to allow the dreadlocks to fall in between each other, but is totally customisable depending on your desired end result.
To begin, I take the section of hair and backcomb it to create a really loose-looking dreadlock. Then, I take a small crochet hook and weave individual strands of hair back and forth through and around the dreadlock, starting at the root area, in order to lock it in tighter. The crocheting is the time-consuming part, but will make the dreadlocks much tighter and neater from the start.
The creation/installation will depend on your hair density, length, texture and the thickness you’d like your dreadlocks to be. To complete a full head of new dreadlocks, it is not uncommon for it to take a full day or 2 in the salon for long and thick hair.
I have wifi, and a big TV screen to watch movies, binge a series, and enjoy music while we spend the day together.
Disclaimer: The crocheting at the scalp area can be on a scale of uncomfortable to painful, depending on your scalp sensitivity, since individual strands of hair are being pulled/manipulated. If you are worried about your scalp sensitivity, we encourage you to start with partial dreadlocks for the first appointment. This allows you to see how the service feels, and to see how your hair reacts to dreadlocks in the early stages, after washing, etc. From there, you can set up appointments to continue adding more or to finish your entire head.
New Dreadlock Creations are the beginning of the new you.
Hair needs to be at least 7 cm to create dreadlokks.
Pricing is customised to your hair and dreadlokk vision. The quotes take into account the quality, thickness, thinness of your hair, style preferred and length of hair to be dreaded.
PARTIAL DREADLOCKS
On the fence about whether dreadlocks are for you? Or how they'll mature with your hair type? Or maybe you just want a little music festival flare? Partial dreadlocks may be the answer! Start with one, a few, or a few rows underneath, without the FULL commitment to a full head of dreadlocks! If you decide they aren't for you after a while, it's much easier to brush out a few dreadlocks, as opposed to brushing out MANY dreadlocks!
Partial dreads charged at $70 ph.
Top knot, dreadhawk and undercuts. Starts at $250
Half Head of Dreads : 25 - 30 dreads is generally half a head. Costs start at $450
HALF HEAD
Maybe you're ready but not quite 100%. Maybe you don't want to sit for a long appointment. Maybe you've got some beautiful curls that you don't want to give up completely... Half-head dreadlocks might be for you! Or 2/3 or 3/4, or whatever percentage you want.
This is a great way to spread costs and time whilst working towards a full crown of dreadlokks.
Just beware: Sometimes half-heads require more maintenance due to having to detangle the loose hair from the dreadlocks or having separate washing routines for dreadlocks vs. loose hair.
