Root maintenance for Ange 💚 All fresh and tidy for her epic trip to India 🪷

First ever maintenance for Nikki and her lovely mature dreads, which she installed some years ago 💜 There was a lot of loose hair and a couple had become quite thin at the roots. Some careful crochet work soon got them looking sharp again for her✨

Maintenance for Shannon and four new baby dreads to complete the row 🩵

A full head of dreads with loose ends for Jen and her gorgeous thick hair 💚 Thank you for sitting like an absolute trooper lovely. It was great getting to know you 🌼

Route maintenance 🌞 What an honour to have the beautiful Beth in the chair today 💞 Beth installed my dreads 10 years ago and we've been friends ever since 🥰 The top layer are fairly new so she didn't want me to crochet down the length of these ones. Don't you just love the texture and natural wiggles of her loose ends ✨

Ange books in for root maintenance every 3-4 months ✨ She takes such good care of her dreads in between appointments by palm rolling regularly and ensuring her dreads are kept separate at the roots. Today we focussed on taming the fluff and tightening her roots. Two hours later she was all good to go ☺️

Lovely to see you as always Ange 💕

Shannon ✨ Don't you just love this shade of blue 🩵
Today we focussed on brushing out one of her dreads (installed by another locticion) which was much wider at the root than all the others. I replaced it with two new locs with loose ends, the same size as all her others. Next time we plan to complete the row with 5 or 6 new dreads.

Always a pleasure to see you lovely ☺️

I hope everyone is having a lovely sunny Sunday - at last hey! 🌞

I thought it was about time I did a little introduction post, since I've never got round to doing one before 😅

So I'm Stell 🤗 Nottingham born and bred. I live in Bulwell with my lovely partner and our furry crew (1 crazy dog and 2 cats). We've got two amazing kids - go check out their insta accounts for all your crochet needs and travel inspo 🧶 🌍

I've got several part-time jobs. Alongside making and maintaining dreadlocks I'm a Social Worker, a Community Connector at the wonderful and i also run a vegan ice cream business with my partner throughout the summer months . Variety really is the spice of life! 

In my spare time (I do get some 🤣) I adore spending time in nature and mucking about in my garden 🌼

I've had a number of enquiries about woolies/wool dreadlock extensions. I could bang on and on about my own personal reasons for avoiding wool but I think this pic about covers it 😘🌱🐑
