Adornments & decorations

Dreadlocks are the base; adornments are the signature. We make and fit macramé, steel pieces, beads and modelled work — all removable, all designed not to damage the hair.

What we make

Macramé worked around the lock, with tight knots and thread in your colours. Rings, spirals and steel pieces that open and close without cutting hair. Glass, wood and ceramic beads. And hand-modelled, one-of-a-kind pieces.

Almost everything we make is removable: put it on, take it off, swap pieces depending on the day. Nothing is glued, nothing is permanent.

How to choose

Weight is the criterion that matters most. Many metal pieces on a thin lock will, over months, create a breaking point. We distribute adornments across the head and pick sizes according to each lock.

Browse the collection photos on our Instagram and tell us what catches your eye — we work to order and also on the spot, during a session.

Frequently asked questions

Do adornments damage the lock?

Well chosen and well distributed, no. The risk comes from too much weight concentrated in one spot — which is what our advice avoids.

Do you make pieces to order?

Yes. Colours, sizes and patterns of your choosing. Message us on Instagram and we will show you what is possible.
