Luma Longs
LUMA LONGS 24–26" texture bundle. Five strands of texture, depth, and personality to give your set a look that's yours. Bubble braid, flat braid, fishtail, micro braid, micro twist. Braid in or piggyback. Reusable for years with proper care.
Why These Extensions Are Different
- Volume And Dimension, Ready Before Your Coffee Is
- With our braid-in extensions, the styled look is already there when you wake up. About 5-10 minutes to smooth, separate, and head out the door.
- Reusable Install After Install
- These aren't one-and-done extensions. With proper care, you can uninstall and reinstall the same set over and over. Many of our customers are still wearing extensions they bought years ago. One purchase, many glow-ups.
- Built To Mix and Match (No Color Commitment)
- Change up your color without long-term commitment. Go blonde, vibrant, dark, or gray, and swap looks just by rearranging pieces: dark base with highlights, light base with lowlights, or bold half-and-half color blocking. No dye, no bleach, no root touch-ups.
- No Glue, No Fusion, No Tape
- Our braid-in method doesn't use adhesives, hot fusion, or sewn-in tracks. The extensions attach by braiding a small section of your own hair around each piece, then securing the braid with a rubber band. That's it. Install them yourself in front of your bathroom mirror, or have a friend or stylist help…your call
- A Simpler Beauty Ritual
- Get the volume, texture, and color you want without the dye chair, the bleach bowl, or the chemical processing. Wash less, style less, and get more time back in your morning.

How to Choose Your Accent Length
Match your accent bundles to the install you already have:
- Have SHORTIES™ installed? Pair with SHORTIES™ accent bundles.
- Have LONGS™ installed? Pair with LONGS™ accent bundles.
- Have a combo set? Most women go with 2 bundles of SHORTIES™ accents and 2 bundles of LONGS™ accents so the texture shows up at both lengths.
That's it. The accent bundles add texture, depth, and dimension wherever you place them, so matching the length just makes sure they show up alongside the rest of your set instead of getting lost or hanging past.
How To Choose Your Accent Color
Accent bundles are designed to layer onto your base install, so most women choose color based on the extensions they already have rather than their natural hair.
- If you want to add depth to your set:
- Choose the same color as your base install, or one shade close to it. The matching texture still adds dimension without changing your overall color.
- If you want highlights:
- Choose a shade lighter than your base install for brightness and movement throughout your set.
- If you want lowlights:
- Choose a shade darker than your base install for richer depth and contrast.
- If you want bold or vibrant pops:
- Pick any color you love. Vibrant colors,blondes against a dark base, dark tones against a blonde base. Accents are the easiest place to play.
- If you want a custom mix:
- Combine bundles in different colors to build a look that's all your own. Two bundles matching your base plus two bundles in a contrast shade is a popular combo.

FAQ (Real Concerns, Real Answers)
Q1: Will braid-in hair extensions look good on me?
Our braid-in dreadlock extensions are worn by women across a wide range of ages and lifestyles. Customers often describe the styled look as "me, but more me."
Because you control the length, fullness, and colors, you can make them as subtle or as bold as you want. Neutral tones and softer installs for an everyday, professional look, or vibrant colors and fuller installs for a louder, boho vibe.
If you're unsure what will suit you, you can book our Wildcrafted Signature Consultation so we can help you design a set that fits your face, lifestyle, and comfort level.
"Man these dreads are a confidence boost for sure! I have always wanted long Disney princess hair and these curly dreads do not disappoint! I LOVE the way they look and the way they make me feel!!"
-Hailey P., Source: Product Review, March 26, 2025
"After my first install, I truly exuded real confidence. My friends and family notice it, too."
-Kyra F., Age 33, Source: April 2026 Confidence Survey
Q2: Are braid-in hair extensions hard to maintain?
Wildcrafted braid-in extensions are lower-maintenance than most women expect.
They're light, quick to wash and dry, and simple to throw up in a ponytail or bun, which is why so many busy women start there.
The daily routine often gets simpler as you wear them: less washing, less drying, less styling, and more "wake up and go."
"I honestly wasn't sure dreads would fit my lifestyle. Turns out, they're easier than putting my hair in a bun. Now I'm living my best low-maintenance life with more styling options than I ever thought possible, and wondering why I waited so long."
-Kim K., Age 38 Source: January 2026 Glow Up Challenge
"It's way easier to keep on top of these. I'm not having to wash, dry, and straighten my hair every day anymore. That in itself is amazing."
-Claire M., Age 38 Source: April 2026 Confidence Survey
Q3: Will my natural hair stay healthy with braid-in extensions?
Braid-in extensions don't use glue, tape, or fusion bonds. The extensions attach by braiding into a small section of your own hair, secured with a rubber band.
Because they're a long-wear style, many customers find they style their natural hair less while wearing extensions. Fewer heat tools, fewer color appointments, less daily manipulation.
If you have specific concerns about your hair type or current condition, the Wildcrafted Signature Consultation is the best place to talk through them with someone who can look at your situation specifically.
"I have colored my hair for decades and almost every color possible. I have also always wanted long hair. Dreads make it possible to have both. And they're awesome!"
-Jamie H., Age 48, Source: April 2025 Glow Up Challenge
"I'm naturally dark and wanted to go light without all of the bleaching and these were PERFECT!"
-Nina R., Source: Product Review, May 30, 2025
Q4: What if I choose the wrong color or length?
You're not stuck. The Color Love Guarantee gives you a safety net to exchange your braid-in extensions for a different shade or length within 30 days. Some conditions apply. Read the full Color Love Guarantee Policy for details.
To help you choose well from the start, you can also use our Wildcrafted Signature Consultation to design your first set with a pro so you're not guessing alone.
"The first order I ever placed was right before SHORTIES™ were released and I was actually able to send the longs back to trade for SHORTIES™ with the Color Love Guarantee, even though it was a completely different product."
-Autumn S., Age 30, Source: Fall 2025 Glow Up Challenge
"Shopping experience was fabulous! The one-on-one consultation is so helpful and I felt super confident in the color choices."
-Samantha C., Age 42, Source: Fall 2025 Glow Up Challenge
Q5: Are dreadlock extensions heavy or uncomfortable?
Wildcrafted braid-ins are designed to be light and airy. Exact weights vary by style and bundle count. Check the 'What's Included & Specs' tab on this page to see specific weight details.
Any new style takes a few days to get used to. Your install will adjust to the perfect fit over the first few days, and a quick shower or scalp massage helps the hair settle into place.
Care guidance is covered in detail in the install and care video course, and each order comes with bonus products to support your extensions.
"These are so soft and lightweight. I have a total of 50 in and I feel no difference in weight."
-Cassandra L., Source: Product Review, August 5, 2024
"Everyone always assumes they're heavy, but how light they are, really. Dreads have helped me find my personality."

"I have been a SHORTIES™ girly since the beginning, but I REALLY wanted to try the longs. I was worried about the weight, but we compared my full set to my husband's ball cap, and they're pretty similar in weight."
-Tasha D., Source: Product Review, September 20, 2025
"Despite how heavy they look, they really aren't heavy at all. From someone who has naturally thick and curly hair, I honestly don't even notice the added weight of them. They are so comfortable and lightweight!"
-Kersten A., Age 33, Source: April 2025 Glow Up Challenge

Braid-in Extensions FAQ
How are braid-in hair extensions installed?
Each extension is simply braided into your natural hair using a typical 3 strand braid, the same one most of us learned as a little girl. You repeat that process around your head and you’re done.
We send a digital course with your order to guide you through the process.
You can install them on yourself, have a girlfriend help, or show it to your hairdresser so they can install them for you.
“While I was watching all the videos I could find on WCB, I realized I could do this myself... I feel so much more confidence than I have ever felt with my natural hair."
-Adrienne V., Age 45, Source: Fall 2025 Glow Up Challenge
"These are so soft and a lot easier to install than I thought. I'll also continue to get better at it. I am SUPER DEE DUPER glad that I made the purchase."
-Rayana E., Source: Product Review, December 2, 2025
How long can you wear braid-in extensions before removing them?
We recommend 4 to 6 weeks of wear time. Once you remove them, you can immediately re-install them or take a break and enjoy your natural hair.
“I had no idea you could do a refresh or install the same day again! It was a game changer when I switched up."
-Natalie M., Age 23, Source: April 2026 Confidence Survey
How do you wash your hair with braid-in extensions in?
We like to say we're "bougie hippies, not dirty ones."
You can wash them as often as you like, and you can shower just as you normally would. Most women find they only need to wash their hair 1–2 times per week.
Because you’re not washing, drying, and styling every day, your mornings get much faster and your natural hair gets a much‑needed break.
Use a gentle and pH‑balanced shampoo to wash, like our Peppermint Shampoo Bar, that helps prevent itching, adds moisture and keeps your hair soft. Use the Shampoo Bar to clean your scalp and let the suds rinse through the extensions.
"My hair was literally squeaky clean in no time flat. I’m blown away!! ... I love how clean my hair feels!!"
-Rachel J., Source: Product Review, May 31, 2023
“It's way easier to keep on top of these. I'm not having to wash, dry, and straighten my hair every day anymore-that in itself is amazing.”
-Claire M., Age 39, Source: April 2026 Confidence Survey
How do you care for braid-in hair extensions day to day?
It's super simple. At first, your routine will take about 10 minutes in the morning and 10 in the evening. Then it will get faster as time goes on.
Your basic routine:
- Daily: Simply separate your dreads twice a day using a few pumps of Crown Nectar.
- Weekly: Wash your scalp and hair then rinse well.
- Nightly: Sleep in a satin bonnet or 1 or 2 french braids on a satin pillowcase
- After 2 months: Nightly, slide an Ona band over your loose hair and climb into bed. No more bonnet needed.
Never brush or comb them, as this can ruin the texture and wave.
"The ease of taking care of them and how you can wake up and go. No need to wait for the flat iron or curling iron to heat up. A little crown nectar and separating and you are good to go!"
-Rae Ann T., Age 44, Source: April 2025 Glow Up Challenge
"5 minutes to get ready in the morning... I don't have to worry about how humidity will affect them."
-Rachel S., Age 44, Source: Fall 2025 Glow Up Challenge
How long do braid-in hair extensions last?
When cared for properly, a set of extensions will last you for years and actually get better with time.
The braid-in dreadlock extensions can be re‑installed over and over.
Most women only buy new sets because they want to mix and match new colors or try different lengths.
“Finding out the extensions would last years…was a life saver! Just do it girl! You'll figure it out like you always do!”
-Natalie M., Age 23, Source: April 2026 Confidence Survey
“Invest in yourself because you are worth it. They last quite a long time with proper care."
-Beverly T., Age 57, Source: April 2025 Glow Up Challenge
How long does your hair need to be for braid-in extensions?
You only need 2 to 3 inches of hair to install these.
If your hair is past your shoulder blades, we recommend choosing one of our longer extension options to ensure there is enough space to braid your natural hair onto the extension comfortably.
"My hair is finally just long enough to be able to wear these... I'm growing my hair out and growing out the grey - which is one reason I ordered."
-Rayana E., Source: Product Review, December 2, 2025
"I wore hats and scarves for a while until my hair was long enough for extensions. I cannot begin to tell you what a difference it’s made...finally being able to go out of the house with confidence again."

Can you swim and work out with braid-in extensions in?
Absolutely! These extensions are designed for an active lifestyle. Whether you are hitting the gym, training for a triathlon, or spending a day at the lake, they hold up beautifully.
Just remember to rinse your scalp and use Crown Nectar after swimming.
"I am a very active person and spend a lot of time at the CrossFit gym training to be an Olympic power lifter. These dreads have held up beautifully with all of the abuse I put them through in training."
-Stacey S., Age 47, Source: Product Review, April 3, 2024
"After a day in the lake, on the boat, and then in the pool and hot tub, a thorough rub thru of crown nectar after a good wash brings the locs back under control."
-Cathy S., Age 49, Source: Product Review, September 9, 2025
Can you wear dreadlock extensions in a professional setting?
Yes. Our braid-in extensions are worn by teachers, service professionals, executives, and healthcare workers.
You control how bold or subtle you go:
- Choose neutral tones for conservative workplaces.
- Pull them into buns, ponytails, or braids to keep them tidy and out of the way.
"I am a teacher and live in J.Crew and slacks... I am in love and have gotten so many compliments from coworkers and students."
-Ashley B., Source: Product Review, October 15, 2025
"I wear them for any event I want to look my best. Weddings, baby showers, and even to work! I'm a nurse, and these baby's hide well in a scrub cap for surgery."

What is your return and exchange policy on braid-in hair extensions?
Every hair extension is covered by our Color Love Guarantee.
If the color or length isn't what you expected when it arrives, you can exchange it for a set you truly love. We want you to be 100% happy with your new look. See the full policy here.
"I will admit I was so very nervous... I was blown away when Berlin assured me that if I didn’t love the color match, she would make sure I got the dreads that worked for me. ... Do yourself a favor and JUST BUY THE DREADS."
-Leslie T., Source: Product Review, August 1, 2024
How do I get help choosing the right braid-in hair extensions?
A simple place to start is matching your extensions to your natural root color. From there, you can add lighter or darker shades to get the dimension you want.
If you’d rather not guess, you can book a Wildcrafted Signature Consultation.
This is a one-on-one consultation where someone from our team will listen to your goals, and then build a set specific to you. You’ll get pictures of the exact set before you purchase to make sure it’s the perfect combination for you.
The goal of this consultation is to make sure you feel completely confident before you check out, so you love what shows up at your door.
