Smooth KK dreads are just that, dreads which are smooth and uniformed.
Double ended synthetic dreads install#
A full install of dreads can be made up of one or more of these, depending on the look you want to go for. KK dreads come in a few different textures. Although this isn’t very important to know if you’re buying dreads, this is important when buying KK to make dreads yourself. Mostly it’s bought in the colours needed and used to create the dreads.
Although it’s possible, it’s unusual that you dye the KK yourself. Due to this, all the colours can be hand blended and lots of styles are avaliable. Kanekalon comes in pack of ‘hair’ and is made up of lots of individual strands. This is essentially a type of plastic, although the finished product doesn’t feel like plastic as you’d imagine it.
This is a widely available fiber which comes in lots of colours and is manipulated using heat. Synth dreads are made using a fiber called Kanekalon (KK). I’ve tried making roving but after two washing machine emergencies I decided KK was best for me! I do talk about both types in this post, but please bare in mind I’m a KK artist, not a wool maker. Which do you prefer the look of? What colours and styles do you want to have? Personally, Tyto Dreads only makes Kanekalon dreads. Whether you pick synthetic dreads or wool dreads is totally down to personal preference. There is also other types such as yarn and faux roving, but these aren’t as widely used. The main two types of synthetic dreads are Synthetic (kanekalon) dreads, and Roving/wool dreads. One of the most important decisions to make when buying or making dreads is what materials you’re going to use, and what texture you’re wanting to achieve.
