Urban Halo Dreadlocks & Braiding / UH Merchandise & Piercing Store

My full head re-work for Tess involved a root tighten-up, shortening her dreads, then adding these gorgeous extensions and dreadlock inserts.

I'm naming this colour combination 'Tess' s Epic Fire mix. 🔥🤎❤️🧡💛🤍

We added some silvertone hints and tips in there too in case she decides to grow her roots in.

On-head pics to come once they've settled. 😇

Love to see my work in the media!

The fabulous Ginger Wildheart looking neat, tight and refreshed at The Wildhearts gig on Thurs.
His hair's looking good too!

Want long term dreadlocks, but are worried about sparse root sections?

Here is Beckii with her new natural dreads, plus waist length synthetic extensions and inserts in mixed coppers/dark brown.
These will quickly soften and look great under her own hair while she changes the shades on top. 🧡🤎😇

Another fresh set of ombre texture mix dreads finished and out of the door!

Deesherene chose dark chocolate brown with Cadbury's purple tips... Mmm, I'm hungry! 🍫🥛

Still room for some Festival dreadlock orders, please message me to squeeze in! 😇💜🤎

THESE ARE COLOUR PHOTOS! 🖤🩶🤍

I've just finished Kayleigh's gorgeous black to silver ombre texture mix dreadlock set, ready to install tomorrow. 😇

These will be worn with some of her own hair left loose over the top, so we've stuck to loop-free braids and twist styles.

Please message me if you'd like to order your own bespoke set. ❤️

Throwback time!

Here's an old pic of myself with my bday buddy Adi from several moons ago!
This was the first set of synthetic dreads I ever (and eventually) made for myself.
Can't wait to polish off the last few of my new ones and get them in! 😇🧡

I love the variation of summer orders. 😇

Here is April's epic Frozen silky twist set from a while back.
Cool, clean pastels.

Lovely to catch up with Toni again today & get her fresh new installed!

Classic black & purple.
😇👌🖤💜

Eurovision week kicks off again tonight, with the final on Saturday!
Who should I be looking out for this year, or is it a boring one?

So here's an ode to the anniversary of my addiction to Lord Of The Lost, and the special themed dreadlock set which sent me a wee bit viral. 😇

Still freaking love you boys! ❤️💛🩸✨🇩🇪🤘🎸

I love playing around with different styles of dreads.
Here are some gorgeous tropical multicoloured wool dreads I made in my special high-textured style. 💚💛💙😇

Great little tighten up session for Hadi's natural locs
❤️👌😇

A nice, simple set of braid-in, double-ended raspberry ripple dreads for my Crufts superstar, Sue. 😇

Bespoke hair orders are always welcome, just send me a message! ❤️

I do love a good growth comparison!

Richard's gorgeous dreads at 8(ish?) years vs at about 1.
He has fab hair to work with, and lots of it! 👌❤️😇

A great example today of how to brighten/add colour to your natural dreadlocks without using dye, cover scalpy roots, and really bulk out your style!

Coral decided to go BRIGHT today with this mix of white blonde, bleach blonde and silver!
🤍💛🩶👌😇

I have a couple of full head sets of skinnirove lightly felted, ultrasoft wool pencil dreads in stock in long (17-20")/x long (20-24") lengths.
I have one in this colour combination, and a set of light/mid stripy orange too. 🤍🤎💛 🧡
.. Yes, and that's me from yesteryear! 😇

Lovely tighten up session with Sienna this week. 😇

Natural dreads with colour tipped/mixed synthetic extensions and a few wraps.

Loved making this colour combination, just enough of a hint of Beetlejuice! 💜💚🖤

Toni chose these gorgeous black to pink ombre comfy wool dreads.
Handmade, hand-dyed, hi/lo light pinks! 😇 🖤🩷

Please message if you'd like to place an order.

I'm on a throwback tip this week!

Here's a slightly blurry photo of gorgeous international tattooist Styx rocking her long term synth dread fringe at one of the first Skin Deep Tattoo Jam shows! 😇🩷🤍

(I hope I've remembered that right, it's been a while! I can't find her on here, so if anyone knows her please let me know do I can tag her!)

Throwback to my first ever Infest Festival in 2008! ❤️

Did you know Republica are playing this year! I freaking LOVED them back in the day!

Go buy some tickets! 😁

DELIVERY DAY!

I've finally been able to buy in some of my rarest colours for the first time since Brexit!

Introducing new bright rose pink too!

This makes me happy!
😇❤️🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🩷🤎🖤🩶🤍

A nice throwback for you today of Sooz's dreadlock stages. (No extensions)
I'm finding lots of old photos and loving it - can't believe I'm still doing this after so long!

I think these were taken at her first tighten up session, after one year, then 6-12 months after that when we paintbrush tailed the ends. ❤️😇

Today's epic hair inspo is this gorgeous (and VERY heavy) set of hip length silky twist dreads, in mixed dark warm browns. 🖤🤎🧡😇

My wrists struggled for a few days after making these!

Please message me if you'd like to place an order. ❤️

I haven't posted any of these for a while!

Extra slim braids with extensions in dark to light warm neutrals! 🤎🧡💛🤍 😇

Please message to book, appointment deposit required. (taken off total bill)

Did anyone watch Crufts last week?

Today's post comes with huge congratulations to long time customer and friend Sue and little French Bulldog Lorenzo, who won second place to Elton, the Frenchie in the grand final!

So happy for you, dreaddy Sue! ❤️🐕🐶

Did you know that our handmade synthetic can be added in with your own for fullness and depth of colour?
Here's lovely rich copper mix to spur your imagination.
🤎🧡😇

I have an insane amount of wool dreadlock stock in at the moment! Basically just name a colour or five!

Here's a favourite ombre set of mixed orange shades I made to wear on my festival rounds! Although it was so busy that year they sat on the back wall of the stall for half of them! 😇👑🧡❤️🔥

Drop me a message to order. 👌

Take a look at Gwyn's gorgeous partial head of black to smooth dark grey ombre dreads in this classic silky twist texture. Decorated with a handful of silver clasps. ❤️👌
