Can I cut my Synthetic Dreads?

You have ordered the wrong length Dreads or the Dreads are just a bit longer than you envisioned. Can I cut my dreads shorter? That is a question we are often asked. In this blog we answer this question.

Lengths of the Dreads

In Dreadshop’s range you will find various lengths of our different types of Dreads. The fact that you can't cut our Synthetic Dreads shorter is one of the reasons why we offer different lengths.

All our dreads are made by hand. The Dreads are produced with a special technique and finished with loose hair ends of. Our advice is not to cut the Renate's Locks of Love shorter, simply because it is difficult to recreate a natural effect with cut dreads.

Can I cut the tips of the Dreads?

It is possible to cut the loose hair a little shorter if you wish. Keep in mind that you leave the tip a little longer than where the dread stops, to prevent your Dreadlock from 'unraveling' even more.

Please note: any kind of warranty is voided on Dreads cut by you.
