Synthetic dreadlocks (also called faux locs or wool dreads) are a temporary way to wear locs without committing to permanently locking your natural hair. They’re installed by braiding or wrapping the extensions into your real hair and can last several months with proper care. Unlike human hair locs, synthetic fibers can’t be lightened or dyed, but they do allow for bold colors, added length, and custom thickness without long grow-in time.
Hair Extensions Inc’s dread stylist Marlaina hand makes our wool and synthetic dreadlocks to your color and specifications.

So, What Are The Next Steps?
We make it simple to get the results you actually want – with zero guesswork.
01
Consult
Book a synthetic loc consultation. We’ll look at your hair length, texture, color goals, and desired wear time. You’ll get real guidance on whether synthetic dreads are the right move — no pressure, no sales pitch.
02
Customize
Choose your length, thickness, and colors — from natural tones to bold fantasy shades. Marlaina hand-creates each dreadlock set to match your vision, not a factory standard. Your install plan is built just for you.
03
Install + Wear
Show up, relax, and let us handle the install. You’ll leave with lightweight, secure synthetic dreads that look intentional, feel comfortable, and can be removed at any time without damaging your natural hair.
