How Many Dreadlock Bundles Do I Need?

You’ve been scrolling through Pinterest, hearting TikToks, and daydreaming about how stunning you’d look with a full head of colorful, confident dreads. Maybe it all started with that gorgeous transformation video that popped up on your FYP… or maybe it was that effortlessly cool nurse who made you go, “Wait—I need that vibe.”

Whatever lit the spark, you’re now ready to finally take the leap and invest in a new look. One that turns heads, boosts your confidence, and makes you feel completely yourself.

But there’s one big question holding you back...

How many bundles do I need?

We get it. You want a full, fabulous look without the guesswork. That’s where we come in.

At Wildcrafted Beauty, we’re not just here to sell you synthetic dreads—we’re your cheerleaders, guides, and glam squad rolled into one. From helpful tutorials to colour-matching advice and post-install tips, we’ve got your back (and your crown ✨).

You want your hair to be full and fabulous—just like the styles you've been admiring—but you’re not sure where to start. That’s where we come in to help!

Here's the thing: buying dreads isn’t a one-and-done deal. There's a LOT to consider when entering the dreadlock world, and you need a high-quality, trusted company to guide you through. At Wildcrafted Beauty, we’re not just about selling dreadlocks. We provide tutorials, top-notch customer service, and follow-ups. You’ll also feel like you’re entering a new era and joining a community of amazing women just like you! (We'll link the FB group down below!)

We know you’re a woman who likes her options! That’s why we offer two of them for your synthetic dreadlocks: Shorties and Longs. Here’s a quick overview to help you decide which might be best for you:

So, what kind of look are you going for?

We offer two types of synthetic dreadlocks to match your vibe and comfort level:

✨ Shorties

Our lightweight, 8oz Shorties are a game changer—especially if you're new to dreads or have finer or more delicate hair. They’re super comfy and give you the freedom to build volume without heaviness. If you experience headaches or neck pain, these are a must.

✨ Longs

Ready for that full-drama, bold energy? Our Longs weigh in at 13–16oz and deliver major visual impact. Go for these if you're confident about the weight and ready to serve looks.

(P.S. A lot of our customers love switching it up—Shorties for everyday ease, Longs for weekend goddess energy.)

Here’s a little cheat sheet for how many bundles you’ll need:

For a Full Look:

• Longs: 10–13 bundles

• Shorties: 13–15 bundles
  Gives you full, thick coverage with gorgeous flow.

For an Undercut:

• 10–11 bundles depending on the shaved area.

 One Side Shaved:

• 10–12 bundles to keep it full on one side while giving space to breathe on the other.

For Brittle or Alopecia-Prone Hair:

• Shorties: 11–12 bundles (lightweight and safe!)

• Longs: Start with 9 and build up only if it feels good.

Dealing with Headaches or Neck Pain?

Shorties are your bestie. If you go for Longs, use 9 bundles max and focus two-thirds of them at the top of your head to reduce strain.

Let’s make this even easier by showing you pictures and telling you just how many bundles are required to accomplish these looks! + the colors used for each set!

This isn’t a full or half look—it’s for those who just want to add a little extra fun to their natural hair! ✨ Prism dreads are perfect for this because they stand out without being too much. 1 BUNDLE - Polar Prism Dreadlocks
