Crochet and Wrapped Synthetic Dreads...


Closeups of some of my wrapped dreads, wrapped poofs, and some black and purple crochets. The crochet dreads have pink and violet metallic Angelina Fiber accents.


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.

Bangs-Style Fringe (Blue/Black/Violet)

Snapped a couple more pictures of the Bangs-Style Fringe I made... looks better since I dyed my regular hair black.

After I get the matching lace headband sewn, I'll take better photographs, where the bobby pins aren't showing lol.

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
