🖤 BASILISKHAIRS.COM 🖤 Every single set on our website is 100% handmade and custom — no factory bases, no shortcuts. Yes, it takes time. No, it can’t be cheap. Because real quality takes real work. 🎥 Watch the creation of Rapunzel322 — a luxury ombre synthetic dread set with curled ends, textured braids, and a stunning color transition. We use high-quality straight synthetic hair for the Rapunzel ends: – tangle-free – fully brushable – reusable – heat-friendly for re-curling! 👱🏻‍♀️ The platinum blonde is hand-mixed from three different shades. The dark brown ombré base is hand-connected and blended — no printed gradients, no factory joins. We combine two types of synthetic fibers for strength and softness, fix them by hand, crochet each strand manually, add braids, curl the ends — and finally: We decorate each set in the style you choose when ordering — this one is decorated in Witchy and Pagan styles! 🧙 With dread charms, jewelry and beads, crystals, crescent moon, pentagram, spider and snake, mushroom, feathers, ribbons, and threads. Double ended and Single ended extensions! Dreads and various textured braids — butterfly braids, fishtail braids, twists! You’ll find it all at BASILISKHAIRS.COM: Solid colors, hand-mixed shades, hand-connected ombre synthetic dreads.

How I do my curls. Usually I do this everyday for the first week then every other day for the next two weeks. Once the curls have dreaded I don’t need to do this anymore. The aim of the game is for these curls to turn into their own little curly dread because this hair type isn’t meant to be brushed 🌸 Alsooo, always wear either a bonnet to bed or in a bun. Bonnets are best in my opinion 🌸 • #megslocks #loctician #manchesterdreads #dreadlocks #dreadcare #dreadhead #dreadstyles #dreadmaker #curls #curlcare #braids #braided #curlydreads #curls #protectivestyles #braidinstyles #dreadshare #dreads #dreaded #hairstyles #festivalhair #hairstylist #hairroutine #hairgoals #temporarydreads #locsoflove
