Better Pictures of My Multi-Colored Crochet Dreads

I took some better detailed photographs of these long (about 22-26") crochet dreads
(These pictures were taken under bright sunlight. The last photos were taken on a cloudy day.)

Kanekalon Curls

I've been making some pretty little pastel and black colored kanekalon curls... I'm not entirely sure what I'll be doing with them, but it will be fun! I'm thinking of mixing these shorter curls with some of my hand-made krinklepuff style marley braid.

More and More of my Hand-Made DIY Marley Braid (Krinklepuffs)

Collection of Colors
My handmade blended color Marley Braid in black, white, lavender, fuchsia, turquoise, aqua, dark blue and neon pink, and red…shown next to light pink machine-made Marley Braid

Details...
…it’s a bit different in texture, and a little more shiny and soft, but just as light weight and fluffy. Plus, by making it myself, it allows me the freedom to create endless color combinations and gradations.

Custom Colors and DIY Marley Braid (aka:material used to make Krinklepuffs)

I've been busy busy busy, shuffling my latest color blends...


Still working on getting the texture “just right” for my handmade custom blended marley braid…Marley Braid is a pre-made textured style of kanekalon synthetic hair, which is often used to make super fluffy lightweight falls - called Krinklepuffs or Krinkle Falls. Marley Braid is available in a somewhat limited variety of colors and most are solid. I prefer blended colors (above is a blend of neon pink and neon purple), so I’m mimicking the texture on my own custom color blends.

SE dreads for Pink Candy-Cane Set and Black/Purple/Blue Set

So, I decided to start making synthetic dreads for two different sets - one in shades of pink with black, and the other with purples, blues and black. I use 100% Kanekalon fiber. I took these pictures before the final sealing, so the ends will look much better once completed.



I already finished the fringe piece to match the purple and black set:
It is constructed from 100% Human hair in Blue, Purple, and Black
