What We Do:

NEWGROWTH OF DREADLOCKS
Most newgrowth takes 60 minutes

TWISTS
The starting of dreadlocks are done with aloe gel and a comb.
Takes about 60 minutes (if you have chemicals in your hair, please call ahead for instructions on a natural removal technique)

LOCK CULTIVATION
The starting of dreadlocks, a backcombing and palmrolling process done with aloe gel.

WRAPS
This involves a process that is done with human hair that is machine made to the human texture: we match your hair color and then we lock you to the length of your natural hair.

WRAPPING OF THE ROOTS
See pictures and paragraph below explaining this process.

DREADLOCK EXTENSIONS
Dreadlock Extensions can be done on any type of hair. You don't need to have dreadlocks to get dreadlock extensions. Dreadlock extensions are for people of any race, and can also be done to any length and size. Your hair must be approximately 2-3 inches long. This process is permanent, and no one will be able to tell that they are extensions.

RE-ATTACHING OF DREADLOCKS
This means that you had dreadlocks, you cut them out at some point, you still have them, and you want them back on your head. You will need at least 2 inches of hair for them to be re-attached. Depending on how many dreadlocks you have will matter how long it will take to do the job. Give me a call for more information on this process and for instructions on how to prepare your locks for this process.

REPAIRING OF DREADLOCKS
This means you are missing dreadlocks in an area where you need dreadlocks and/or repairing on the lock itself.

Dreadlock Maintenance
(Please click to see these images larger)


We at Dreadlocks by Randi care about maintaining and keeping Dreadlocks looking healthy and strong. Dreadlock repairs are for people who have locks that are breaking in certain areas, or a lock has come out. Dreadlock repair is also for people who have cut there locks off and want them reattached. The process of repairing dreadlocks is for us to be able to save a dread, and in doing so, we use natural hair (same color and texture as the customer's hair) and after we have repaired the lock or locks you will never know where the repair was done.

The purpose of doing dreadlock extensions is for anyone with any length or texture of hair who wants to change their look to the natural form of Dreadlocks. Dreadlock extensions are also for anyone who already has dreadlocks and wants them longer or thicker at the root. The way we do Dreadlock extensions is by adding natural hair, the same color and texture of the clients, Each lock is individually created and hand done.
We only do things naturally at Dreadlocks By Randi.

If the customer would like a certain color in their hair, we carry a variety in the store. You can add a color like blond or auburn to your dreadlocks, either to the entire lock or just the tips in order to create a different look. Remember, once we add hair it will be permanent. Within 4-6 weeks of getting Dreadlock Extensions done, the hair that is added intertwines with your natural hair.We can blend colors to give a highlighted effect or do some in another color entirely. We do our best to fulfill whatever your dream may be.


Wrapping of the Roots
(Please click to see these images larger)


If you have locks that are thin at the root or haven't had your locks maintained for a long while, we will take a small piece of hair (that is machine-made to the human texture), match your hair color perfectly and then we build up the root area from the scalp to your existing lock so that they are the same size and any new growth of hair is also put with the lock it belongs to. And when your hair grows out at the root, your hair will lock right into the wrap that was done for you, it will look natural. No one will know that you had your roots wrapped or any other work done.
