 There are different ways you can store your Dreads neatly.

We will list a few for your here:

  • in your closet on a clothes hanger. There are hangers that you can attach to each other with rings, so you have a whole row below each other, this saves space because you will have one hanger in the end!
  • in a Dreadshop Storage Bag!
  • in a bag in your closet (preferably a breathable bag, for example a linen bag)
  • in a washing bag
  • on round market rings
  • hang them on your own Dread rack! At Dreadshop we have a beautiful rack on the wall where all the Dreads hang from!

  • are you creative? Make a fun coat rack with a lot of knobs or hooks where you can hang your Dreads on.

Did you take your dreads out? Wash and dry your Dreadlocks before you store them!

What is not a good way to store Synthetic Dreads?

  • don’t roll up your Dreads in a ball, they will knot together and become frizzy
  • absolutely don’t put your Dreadlocks in the dryer
  • don’t store them unprotected (always put them in something, for example a Dreadshop Storage Bag)
  • don’t store them on top of you closet (they’ll become dusty)
  • do you have pets? Store them in a place that your pet can’t reach
  • don’t store them in a humid place (you will prevent them to becoming smelly and prevent deformation of the Dreads)
