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.
- Book a free consultation if you want more personalized guidance (Under the "Book an Appointment" tab)
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!
Disclaimer:
1. Color of dreads may differ from picture due to screen coloring.
2. Color of dreads may differ per batch due to our wholesaler. We suggest purchasing all your dreads at once to avoid difference in color from dye batches.
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.
These are easy enough you can install on your own or convince your spouse to do them for you :)
The world is your oyster. As you can see from the photo below, I am naturally a red head but wear blonde!
Any colors you choose will be beautiful!

I just added the beautiful black to my collection of dreads!! I LOVEEE my dreads!! CHEERS and buy the DREADS!
I love these Dreads!! The black was the perfect pop of color!
I could not be more in love with this company or the way it makes me feel. I never knew something so simple could make me feel so different and so much more like myself. To say I’m in love is an understatement🫶
I’ve been a fan for years. I’ve been following when they were doing it in their space hand making each one. I’ve always wanted some. Finally I got some and holy s*** I’m in LOVE. I couldn’t be happier. I have jet black hair down to my butt. I bought the single pack of 5 of the normal dreads long. I did only a partial but I mean spot on. Chefs kiss.
Love the pop of black to my blondes!
I’m so happy with my purchase, I can’t believe I waited 2 years. Can’t wait to buy different colors to change out my peek-a-boo colors with the seasons.
Absolutely incredible for my hair and my confidence
Absolutely love them!
love them!
I LOVE putting these in on days I’m not feeling beautiful, because they do just that! They’re so easy to braid in and install, and removing them is as easy as a few snips of the little rubber bands! So fun and such a vibe
Love them! Highly recommended
Added the jet black to my oil spill and I absolutely love them! I took them out foe jot even a full day to touch up my roots and wash all my hair and I felt so naked. This is the new norm for me. Can't wait foe the rest of them to get here!
Love these they are the standard size and dreaded all the way down. I have only had my dreads installed for a month now and I get a lot of compliments. They are not heavy at all.
Placing these in random spots for added dimension, putting them in tomorrow!!! 🖤
The black is a really good quality black. I was worried that it would have a blue tint to it but nope! It’s the perfect black!
I absolutely love these! Ive tried other companies dreads but these are by far the best. Will definately order more colors :)
I got my base Color in jet black skinny and standard. Half and half. The color looks amazing with my skin tone. The dreads have given me the confidence I lost after having facial reconstruction in a car wreck they are really in that amazing to wear amazing to wake up to your hair back and roll out of bed it's just been an amazing all around experience I'm so grateful I came across Dreadful hippies website and thank you Whitney for being so helpful throughout my purchase🖤🖤

I absolutely love these dreads!! I got the wispy ends and braided and twisted them! So freaking cute!! Also that wrap!! Love!!

I've been wanting these for such a long time now. I'm so pleased with my order and cannot wait until I can get more colors!!!!
I only ordered 4 packs just to see how I like them, and of course I absolutely loved them!! Already ordered more. My husband braided them in for me. My kids also love them I put a wrap in their hair. Highly recommend!
I am in love with my new dreads!!! I got the purple and the black ones and mixed them in I am going to say the wait was long but SO WORTH IT!!! They are such a conference booster and I can't go back to normal hair now I'm am just OBSESSED!!!!
All 4 colors I ordered (jet black, forest green, emerald green and kelly green) are so beautiful and such high quality! Couldn't love them more.
I love them!!! I haven't had the chance to put them in yet but I'm so excited to! They look better then I would imagine and they are a really good length
I love the dreads!! I have waited for over a year to buy them from you guys! I love how they look and feel. The only concern is when I tie the braids some pieces stick out and I was wondering how to hide that?? Any ideas?? But other than that I’m in love!! I cried when I got them and cried when I saw myself with them in. ❤️ Thank you guys so so much!!
I combined these with the blue grey, Silver melt and the jet black. They are so soft, and well made. You put these on and your transformed into a Queen, a vixen, a warrior.
Awesome quality, I love how flexible and light they actually are ! It’s definitely worth the wait and the money. I would definitely buy from these guys again. I cannot thank you enough !🖤
Love the quality of these. I have a few different colors to mix it up they always look great
Absolutely love them!!

Absolutely love them!
Beyond happy with these, the quality is amazing!
I absolutely love my jet black skinny dainty dreadlocks. I was going for a peekaboo look and ordered 2 sets. My stylist installed them today. They are perfect except you definitely need 3 to 4 sets based upon your preference. I will share with you all shortly it’s just been a really long day. I can’t wait to experience ALL of the other styles and color options. I’m hooked. Thank you ❤️
