Itchiness, headaches and mild scalp rash
Are normal in the first week of having your dread extensions, as your hair and scalp are adjusting to the new tightness and weight of your extensions. If you find these symptoms last longer then usual, you may be allergic to the synthetic fibre.

Washing Your Dreads
If you wish to wash your dreads, you can do so, best every 10days or so, as the dreads are quite heavy when wet. If you wash too reqularly it can dry out the scalp and cause dandruff, it can also cause your roots to dread more. Your hair also needs its natural oils to keep healthy. Washing is simple, diluted shampoo dabbed around the roots and well washed out.

Hair Shedding
We naturally shed around 100 hairs a day, so in the time you have your extensions in, the hair has no where to go, so when you remove your extensions don't be suprised at the amount of loose hair you lose, as it's just the build up of hair shed.

Dread Removal
Simply snap the band holding the hair in place and unwind your hair. The dread will slide out, give your hair a good wash and it will be back to normal in no time.

Re-using And Cleaning
The great thing about synthetic dreads is they can be re-used if well looked after, so once you take them out all they need is a wash and maybe a trim. If they are a little wiffy, just put them in a delicates bag or pillowcase and into a delicate cycle in your washing machine, cold or warm (no higher then 30-40 degrees) then simply hang them up to dry.
