Dreadlock extensions that will change your life! Improve hair health and SKYROCKET your confidence. Give yourself the gift of beautiful effortless hair.
Why dreadlock extensions? this is Ellies Story,
Ellie started making and selling dreads more-so by accident. She had always wanted dreads, but her hair was too thin, always breaking and never grew past her shoulders. Her confidence was shattered. After weeks of creating a solution, she made her first set of dreadlocks that easily braided into her hair. She instantly felt the confidence she was missing, and everyone else noticed it too. Standing taller and brighter,
her friends asked her to make them some. Little by little she's grown what you see DreadFull Hippie to be today. Handcrafted in Utah, USA, each dreadlock is carefully handmade to order.
Her small business has now helped over 20,000 women feel more confident in themselves.
Why these are considered a protective hairstyle? While wearing these, your hair will be braided 6+ weeks at a time. Braids are easily the most efficient style to protect your hair. Look at every Renaissance painting, all the woman have long, thick hair. You'll also notice often it is braided! You'll wake up feeling like a goddess and will cut your get-ready time in half because your hair is already done for the day. You'll keep your hair protected by not applying toxic products or using heat. No need for that because your hair is already flawless.
What can you NOT do with these? I haven't figured that out yet... You can swim with them, workout with them, ride motorcycles, let your baby pull on them without ripping out your PP baby hairs you've been working so hard to grow, camp with them (and look like a woodland fairy the entire time), skydive with them, wash them reuse them forever etc. etc.
What colors will look best on me? Some quick tips:
All the color combos look amazing, so take the pressure off yourself and know that whatever you decide will look amazing.
Does Gold Jewelry look good on you? You're most likely warm toned. These colors as bases (a majority of the packs will look good on you): Caramel Blonde, Medium Blonde, Light Blonde, Dark Brown, Auburn, Chocolate Brown, Syrup Brown, Warm Caramel Melt
Does Silver Jewelry look good on you? You're most likely cool toned. Use these colors as a base: Platinum Blonde, Sandy Blonde, Ash Brown, Sandy Blonde Melt, Almond Melt, Toffy, Silver Grey
If you wear both Gold and Silver, awesome! The world is your oyster as you're most likely a mix of both warm and cool toned just like Ellie :)
We've had brunettes wear blonde dreads, blondes wear brunette dreads, red heads wear platinum blondes, and platinum blondes wear reds.

How do I install them? We'll send you an install video with your order of dreads, or you can find it: "Dallas and Ellie McGee" on Youtube. It's just a traditional 3 piece braid to install them. Ellie taught Dallas how to install them the day they got back from their honeymoon. Since then, he has installed her dreads many times on her and on hundreds of other women! Show your hairstylist the install video so they can learn, or bribe your sister to come over with pizza. You can also install these on yourself and you'll only improve on each install.
How long do they last? Ellie's first set is from 2016 and are STILL in perfect condition even after wearing them a majority of the last 10 years. We're convinced these dreads will live longer than you. We handcraft them to last. And we even back it with a lifetime guarantee of any dread maintenance you may need!

For Celtic dreads you will need to brush out the ends to maintain the whispy ends, low heat can be used on them! Straightener, curling iron etc.
I had purchased 13 packs of cotton candy because everyone's preferences are unique, and it's essential to have individualized head and hair measurements. Consequently, I ended up with 10 dreads leftover. Initially, I was apprehensive about the appearance, but after trying it on and experimenting with different styles, I grew to love it. This was my first experience, and I was somewhat nervous about pricing and legitimacy, but I must admit that I had my skeptical moments. However, as evident from my photographs, I have received the product and must say that I am thoroughly satisfied with it. Will have future purchases.
Just an overall review of the genuine graciousness and kindness of the Dreadful Hippie experience. They were so flexible when I changed my mind a few times and the delivery box itself was beautiful. Also! THEY SPELLED MY NAME RIGHT! I appreciate attention to detail. The quality and workmanship of my dreads is impeccable. The dainty’s are so dainty and perfect. I’m excited I can’t wait to get them installed.
Love the color, love that's it handmade, and so soft, I'm very happy with your guys' products, just absolutely amazing that I would probably buy more in the future!
I had an absolutely amazing experience from first interacting with Ellie on her tiktok to inquiring about my order. I love the quality as well as how they've made me feel. I can't wait to order more!
Ordered the cotton candy as I thought it would be a great accent with the blonde. I’m obsessed and my husband loves the color as well. So happy with them.
I absolutely love my locs!!! I just got my cotton candys in the mail and bittersweet changing my colors out. I LOVE switching it up and can't wait to get a Viking set next. Great quality and simple to install.
Bought these in the standard size. The color is even better in person. So vibrant! My daughter loves them in her hair and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.
This is my 5th set from dreadful hippie, and I am absolutely in love. Bought them for a rave that I’m going to in a couple weeks and I cannot wait for all my cute pictures!!!!!
