Our story: The heart behind Selkie Dreads

During the 2020-2022 Covid 19 lockdown, I yearned for a mega hair transformation that wouldn't damage my hair. That's when I discovered synthetic and woolen dreadlocks. After figuring out how to braid them in, I was constantly stopped by people in the street admiring them and asking where to get them. When I was made redundant from my accounts payable job, I used the time to teach myself to crochet synthetic dreadlocks through thousands of hours of tutorials and practice. Finding dreadlocks allowed me to find myself and create space for creativity in my life, and so Selkie Dreads was born. Each dreadlock is individually crafted in a variety of styles and textures, without any chemicals or braiding gels. As I crochet, my mind wanders, and I am always surprised by what my hands create.
