If you want to try dreadlocks but don’t want the commitment of the style, then a clip-on dreadlock is the best choice. Compared to the regular dreadlock extensions, you don’t have to go through the lengthy task of crocheting them. These dreadlocks are great for people who are looking for an easy take on dreads.

When installing clip-on, you’ll want to start for the bottom and work your way to the top. You should also clip the longest row of dreads to the back and the shortest to the front of your head. However, if you have a side part, you can always stack to the side; there is no one rule when installing clip-ons as it is all about personal preference. The tools required for installation include a brush, hair spray, and of course- the locs.
