Past dreadlock creations

I started making dreads over 9 years ago, and over the years I have made quite a few sets. Both for myself and for others, as well as sharing my skills with a lot of girls so they could make their own dreads.
My synthetic hair adventures started off by accident as I was trying to figure out something new to cover up my real dreads for a photoshoot with my good old photographer friend Arild Pellix back in 98. So, I grabbed a piece of shit packet of bad quality jumbo braid and made a loose ponytail to wrap around my own hair. It came out looking quite convincing, and I started searching the internet for more info on this. It was on one of these searches I stumbled across the old hairboard, a very frequently used forum for fellow synth hair makers/users. It's long gone and dead by now, but a few of the old users started up a new board which is currently up and running, and is visited by new people all the time. I must admit I'm in a bit of a "none dreads phase" of my life, but I visit the site almost daily to see what is going on in the world of synthetic hair these days. I also get the occasional order in for a few sets as well.

Check out the forum here!

Anyways, my love for fantastic hair and creative expression will never die, and all my best sets of hair are displayed proudly on my wall for guaranteed future usage :)

Here's a little video of some pics of a few of the styles I have created.



Hope you enjoy it, and I apologize for the last 2 pictures rly bad quality. They are of one of my earlier sets, so only had a crappy webcam back then to document it all with.

Have a great day!
