Can Synthetic Dreadlocks Be Reused? 




You’re standing in front of the mirror, admiring your hair. It’s been two months since you discovered this life changing protective hairstyle and now you will never go back!



They’ve been a source of happiness and a part of your everyday confidence. But you’re only human and naturally we crave change—maybe a pop of color to brighten your day or a fresh look to match your new energy.






But you can’t help but wonder:


Does it make sense to keep buying new colors every time you want something different? What happens to the dreads I already have? 


Can synthetic dreadlocks be reused? 


Synthetic dreadlocks are not a one-time deal. With the right care and a little creativity, you can reuse your dreads, refresh them & reinvent your look as often as you like!


Sounds pretty good right? 




Reviving Your Dreads: A Quick Detox


Now, let’s talk about the magic of a good detox. After you’ve loved and lived in your dreads, they might need a little refresh. Whether it’s from everyday life, the oils from Crown Nectar or just to simply make them feel clean and refreshed! 



Think of this as a spa day for your synthetic dreads! A gentle soak in our Dreadtox and cleanse will remove any buildup, leaving them feeling lighter and looking just as good as new. After they’re clean and dry, they’re ready for their encore, girl! 



Let’s walk you through that process step by step with the help of images provided by one of our Wildcrafted Women!


  • A Bowl, 1 Dreadtox Pouch And Your Dread Bag! 


  • Pour Dreadtox Into A Bowl, Whisk & Add 1 Cup Of Hot Water! 




  • Swish The Dreads & Let Soak For 1 Hour. 





  • Rinse 2-3 Times & Allow To Air Dry On Towel


  • Once your dreads are 100% dry, store them to keep them safe and protected. Avoid using plastic bags as they trap moisture and lead to unwanted issues.

    The Beauty of Maturity

    Here’s something pretty special about synthetic dreadlocks: they only get better with time. Think of your favorite pair of jeans or a well-worn leather jacket, dreads are just like that, they get better and mature the more you wear them!


    Dreads that have been through a few adventures tend to look fuller, and develop a relaxed, hippie vibe that’s hard to replicate with a brand-new set. That’s the beauty of synthetic dreadlocks—they’re not just a style; they’re an experience. Each time you reuse them, you’re adding to their story, and in turn, they become even more uniquely yours. As long as you are regularly keeping them moisturized with Crown Nectar your dreads will remain frizz free, untangled and shiny! 




    Why Women Love Changing Their Dreads 


    Sometimes, it’s not about needing a whole new set of dreads—it’s about wanting a fresh twist. We’ve noticed that women often choose to switch things up by adding new colors to their existing set. It’s also totally one of those hairstyles that never give you the feeling of being “stuck” with them. You could frame your face with new shorties or add in one of our seasonal colors that you’ve been excited to try and is finally out of the vault! 


    It’s like giving your dreads a makeover without the commitment of starting over! 



    One of the most empowering things about synthetic dreadlocks is how they allow women to express themselves. Every new style, every added color, every reinstall tells the world, 

    “This is how i’m choosing to show up to the world right now!”

    For many of our Wildcrafted women, changing their dreads isn’t just about fashion; it’s about embracing change and celebrating growth. Maybe you’ve just gone through a major life milestone, or maybe you’re just feeling the urge to shake things up!

     Whatever it is, synthetic dreadlocks give you the freedom to do so effortlessly.

    By reusing and refreshing your dreads, you’re protecting your body from harsh chemicals in hair products, damaging heat and endless hours of styling. It’s a chance to embrace a healthier routine that has the added bonus of all time confidence and empowerment


    A Style That Evolves With You

    Your synthetic dreadlocks are more than just a hairstyle—they’re a journey. Each time you install them, you’re stepping into a new chapter, but the beauty is, you don’t have to leave the past behind. With a little care, your dreads can grow with you, evolving just as you do.

    So, the next time you’re wondering if you can reuse your synthetic dreadlocks, remember this: not only can you reuse them, but you can also transform them into something new every time. Store them in your dread bag, give them a quick detox when needed, and don’t be shy to experiment with colors and styles!
