braid-in dreadlock extensions
from full dreads to mermaid curls
Braiding is the perfect option if:
You want to see how dreadlocks look on you. Your own hair is still a bit too short for dreads. You enjoy changing the color, length, or volume every now and then. Or you'd love to try curls.

The hourly rate for braiding is €40 per hour .
How long we are busy depends on:

Let your creativity run wild
Braiding dreadlocks is ideal for temporary dreads, festivals, a new look or just because you fancy something different.
Braiding can be done with natural shades, striking colours or even wavy dreads (including mermaid locs, boho locs).
Whether you dream of a subtle accent or a full, expressive look — live it up and shine.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does my hair have to be to get dreadlocks braided?
For the most beautiful and durable result, I like to work with hair at least 10 cm long . Longer is always welcome. Are there any shorter strands in between? That's fine, but they can sometimes be a bit unruly—in that case, do so at your own risk.
How many dreadlocks do I need approximately?
This varies depending on the desired look. As a guideline:
• Full head → usually 50–60 pieces
• Partial → usually 9–21 pieces
Do you like extra volume? Then you can opt for a set with (more) double-ended dreads.
How do I prepare my hair for braiding?
• Stop using conditioner at least 2 weeks in advance .
• Wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove built-up silicones or oils.
• Then switch to a dreadlock-friendly shampoo .
• And: wash your hair one more time 2 days before your appointment .
So we start with a clean, fresh base — that's what weaves in the most beautifully.
How long can braided dreadlocks last?
On average 2 to 3 months .
The dreadlocks are set tightly (but not too tightly!); as your hair grows, the roots will drop slightly. When you want to have them renewed is entirely up to you, but 2 to 3 months is a good rule of thumb. By then, your own hair will often start to knot/dread at the roots as well.
Can I swim or go to the sauna with braided dreadlocks?
That is not a problem.
Sea, swimming pool, salt bath, sauna — all fine.
The only important thing: make sure your hair is clean and dry again before you go to sleep .
Ready for your transformation?
You can easily book through the calendar. I look forward to starting your dreadlock journey together.
