The colouring of dreadlocks is an art. Discover through the creation why!

Victoria is a well-known influencer from Hautes Alpes. She wanted to wear dreadlocks. In December 2019, she contacted me for a creation, coloring and installation of dreadlocks extensions

Victoria was not long enough. A minimum length of 10 cm is required to wear locks.

I then recommended that she let her hair grow. I could, thus, make a beautiful creation of natural dreadlocks

Last September, she contacted me again.

Time to change: carte blanche for a creation of locks

Victoria had no specific ideas about her creation. The only thing she wanted was a full head design. She also wanted to find a nice length.

I invited Victoria to come and see me to do a pre-visit.

After an informal conversation, she gave me carte blanche. She had complete confidence in my talents as a facialist. She was also ready to make a major hair change.

My first task was to analyse the structure of her face, the expressions on her face and the glint in her eyes. I then proposed a creation on the theme of the Snow Queen.

She was excited about the project and ready. I suggested different types of silver/polar white. This way we stayed in the theme of the Snow Queen.

Once the color and length of the extensions were chosen, a double appointment was scheduled. The first one with Celine my colorist for the coloring and the second with me for the installation of dreadlocks extensions.

Dyeing dreadlocks is an art

Such a creation is done in 2 days:

    • The first day was devoted exclusively to colouring
    • The second day was dedicated to the installation of the natural dreads extensions.

the colourist and his work on dreads

  • Céline is an experienced hairdresser and qualified master colourist.
  • She is a recognised colouring professional. She has worked with the most famous colourists.
  • The colour was achieved in three stages:
  • Total bleaching of 95% of the length then shampooing. The 5% not bleached is the base of the hair (roots and 2cm of length).
  • Application of silver/grey colour to bleached hair.
  • Fading of unbleached roots. The fade is a colour link between the colouring and the natural colour. It is the most delicate part of the colouring process. The aim is to ensure that the colour is uniform along the entire length of the hair. This is despite the fact that some of the hair has retained its natural colour.

Only an expert colourist can achieve beautiful colours on dreadlocks.

Indeed, the colourist is a hairdresser who possesses the art of combining colours and materials. He is both an architect of the hair and a painter through his mastery of colours.

The next day, I made the creation by putting in the natural dreadlocks extensions.

Victoria is delighted with the result.

She is, moreover, very happy to find a beautiful length of hair thanks to her extensions. She will be able to vary her hair style according to her desires and moods.
