High quality synthetic dreads - mostly custom Welp, i've been making synthetic dreads for about 6 years. c:

I'd say I specialize mostly in my bumpy dreads, and my rainbows!

18/09/2021

Hi hello, I didn't realize I was still getting a bit of messages every month for the last year about dreads lol but no i'm sadly still closed y'all. I still have all my hair and supplies cause there's totally a chance of me making more in the future somehow but I have no idea when honestlyyy
I'm pretty often at nearly full time or even overtime at my "part time" ~regular job~ and honestly have no energy for even my other soap business I actually do wanna work on ;-; (Spookii Bubbles)
But it's pretty awesome people still like my old work from years ago

Omg thanks I love it 😍 Dreadlock Madness

Cloudy days require rainbow dreads 😊 I'm really happy with how these turned out 😊 24/26'' long, hand dyed woolies!

Yoooo i've got a birthday sale on my shampoo bars on my other page - 15% off / $8.50 USD !
So far great for both loose hair and dreaded hair; thick, thin, straight, wavy, curlyyyy.. although not yet tested on super curly/kinky hair~
spookiibubbles.etsy.com

F**k it, let's call it a birthday sale, in honor of my birthday on Friday lol, 15% off my shampoo bars! (for 2 weeks actuallyy)
spookiibubbles.etsy.com

PS they come in little mesh organza bags, which have like 3 purposes - it's cute packaging, but also mostly there for holding the bar crumbles at the end, when it inevitably gets really thin and breaks; so you can use the whole bar up! (just rub the bagged chunks on your scalp like normal) AND with the ties on the bag, you could also hang it off a shower caddy hook to keep dry, if you have that.
Like all bar soap etc, it's definitely best to keep as dry as possible, not sitting in water, to keep it hard and lasting the longest.
I probably do the most cause I have a wide-slotted soap holder on command-strips on the whole opposite wall of the shower head lmao but I totally get probably not everyone is that extra about it

Ooookie in regards to my post a week ago or so about the samples for my dreaded folk; I finally made some loll
I believe 3-4 total are spoken for so if you'd interested in trying one of my shampoo bars on your locked hair (for $6 with shipping in the US - or more shipping outside the US) comment/message!

09/05/2020

Soooo i'm still gonna send out some testers to more people with dreads soon, but if you have non-dreaded hair (or, really, it should be fine for dreads!), my first launch of my shampoo bars are available now ^_^ 8 scents to choose from!
I personally love these and all my friends who tested them loved them too, I find it really moisturizing for my drryyy damaged hair, which i've never had from any shampoo i've ever tried before :0

https://www.etsy.com/listing/792572926/shampoo-bars-vegan-sulfate-free

Heeey all you cool cats and kittens lmao
warning, long post cause I like to get all info out there but tldr; I want some more people to test my shampoo bars on natural dreads pls!

SO I'm starting to make shampoo bars; these were some testers sent to some of my friends, they've passed the test on loose hair of all different types and I sent to 1 friend with natural dreads and she likes it too BUT I'd like more tests on natural dreads with these :3
I can get 5-6 tester sized bars (I think this time i'll just do all thinner bars, not cut any in half like this haha) out of a small batch so I can take that many testers!!
I will say I spent a bit on materials and stuff already so I am asking for shipping and some material cost ? like $6 if shipped in the US β™₯
Now second thing is deciding on a scent everyone would be cool with haha, I have many options but to narrow it down the options are incense/oud wood or maybe something fruity, like lemon/fruit loops?
Also can be uncolored or another color of course~

Third and very important, these are *shampoo*, surfactant bars, not real soap like most other dread shampoos which are not meant for hair honestly. I make soap too, and the pH is about 9, these bars are about 5.5 which is just right for hair, so really gets them clean!
(which, they can also totally be used as a body wash too if you wanted lol)

Now fourth and also very important, the ingredients in case you're allergic to anything! (or just wanna know whats in em, cause why not)

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI), BTMS 25, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSa), Coconut Oil, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cetyl Alcohol, Fragrance, Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, Panthenol, Preservative, Colorant

And, in general, I am about to make some in all different scents for sale in my shop soon/this week since they're definitely approved for non-dreaded hair! They're gonna retail for $10 :3

Wew lad, finally made some of my first shampoo bars (and almost 2 weeks later got some organza bags for em - which is mostly for when they get thin and inevitably break so you can use all of it!) and these are samples going out to some friends with different hair types to see how this goes~ the recipe is supposed to be good for *all* hair types so we'll see πŸ‘€
These are just vanilla scented to be pretty neutral for everyone sampling lol. And they're vegan just like my other products have been + they're sulfate freeee, which I feel like they're taking out as much of my semi perm purple/pink dye as my other preferred sulfate free liquid shampoo!
So, shampoo bars likely for sale real soonnn πŸŽ‰πŸ™ŒπŸ»

(continued) I'm just really not into making them anymore, and I'm trying to start another business I'm way more into + normally I work at a normal job too haha. Even being home constantly the last like, 5-6 weeks I still have been strugglingggg to finish/start on my last few orders😭 but I super appreciate all the orders I've gotten for the last 7 years! And I'm glad so many people love my work πŸ–€πŸ’• but I'll probably just kick out a random pure gore premade sometimes if I feel like it, or idk other random colors I wanna see together lol

**more info that i added to ig and may as well add here;**
so also I guess its usually weird to talk about how much money you make BUT LIKE. my 2 best years of selling dreads, I made about $4k a year. Just 4 thousand dollars a whole year
(which is mostly cause I couldn't make them faster, cause y'all know i'm way more on the "expensive" end. but I obviously couldn't go faster, with keeping the same quality, and my motivation certainly went down with the work to pay ratio lol)

and then with my regular part time job, i should get around $11k this year (would be slightly more if not for corona lol) - WHICH is still technically barely anything, but compared to before i'm like "o wow look at all this money" lmaoo

>the silliness of only working on my own business/es from home for years, then 3 months into working at a regular job finally, there's a wild virus that's mandating people to stay home cheeeck lmao

*custom, not for sale, and i'm closed for new orders*

01/02/2020

Still closed for customs btw (hence why I haven't updated saying i'm open again lol)

I'm friggin exhausted from *normal job* all the time and i'm super mega behind on all my current customs cause I only have the energy to work on them a little on my days off; which I feel horrible these are all super behind but quite apparently I can't get myself to do more .-.
SO that's why i'm not really bothering with taking on anymore, probably only will when all my current orders are completed (which I haven't NOT had a wait list going for like 3-4 years so that's gonna be wild to be 100% done with orders omg)

19/12/2019

Sorry my posts lately are pretty sad/sucky especially for the business, BUT I finally got a regular job after a couple months of applying and it's making me exhausted as hell SO sadly my current orders are gonna suffer a bit aaaand I'm not thinking i'll accept any new orders for a bit :s

(this is why I closed customs for a bit a couple months ago cause I was expecting to get a job and then it wasn't happening so that's why I reopened and took a couple orders)

And like I was deffo trying to only get a part time job so I could still have energy/time to do my orders, but then they just want me to do 8 hr shifts πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ˜­ like it's still part time but not broken up like I wanted but πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ I'm lucky to have gotten it sooo lol.

Hair Transformation - Pure Gore 22/11/2019

Can y'all even fu**in believe this video Catching Kerosene made with my dreads a few years ago, now has almost !13! !MILLION! views?!?!?! WHAT - although somehow it got the first 6mil or so in a couple weeks of being up I think? I don't understanddd

Also i'm sad that exact type of white hair has been changed for awhile now so it's not the same exact texture and it's slightly less bright white /eyeroll but what can I do lol

(I mean, btw, i'm open for an order or 2 for the new year and I can make some more sets similar to thisss~ or completely different :') )

I'm still wanting some dread bomb testers!!! Cheap trial price for now~
Try an ACV/baking soda soak to cleanse your dreads, without the vinegar stonk and instead some nice cherry/pumpkin/orange etc scent!

Okay sorry i've taken ages to post about this again with more infooo - and this is gonna be a pretty long post

But I'm still wanting some testers for the dread cleansing bombs!
$6 USD with shipping in the US - or I can ship to wherever you are! (this just covers material costs and shipping really)
I have 1 maraschino cherry and 1 sweet pumpkin available right now; I plan on making some fir/birch fire scented ones soon and maybe some more pumpkin; they only take a couple days to dry out so I can make them pretty custom!
I'm accepting the trial orders through my paypal for now, just message or comment if interested!

So I know I make synthetic dreads, but these are really for natural dreads~
This is much like the baking soda and ACV soak people do to deep cleanse their dreads, but there's citric acid instead which replaces vinegar + doesn't smell like anything!
They also include some sweet almond oil for adding some moisture to the hair, (which might be best for more mature locks) and of course the fragrance - there is also some polysorbate 80 which is just an emulsifier, so the water and oil mixes! And that's it.

How to use: recommended that you only use it about 2-3 times a year; this is a deep cleanse to use every now and then along with regular washing. (I'll hopefully be making shampoo bars sorta soon)
Add a whole bomb for long hair, or half (if you can break it in half; sometimes they dry super hard) for short hair - to a basin/sink with hot/warm water and soak your locks for 15-20 mins, agitating a couple times, then rinse or wash with your favorite shampoo after and let dry fully like normal ^_^

You'll probably wanna lay down on the floor with a basin while they soak for most comfort, or maybe if you have the room you can lay on a counter with your hair in the sink haha

Ingredients: baking soda, citric acid, sweet almond oil, polysorbate 80, fragrance.
Do not use if you have any allergy of course~

I'll be selling these eventually formally on my Spookii Bubbles etsy later since that's the name I have soap/cosmetics insurance under :') But that's also the name that will be on the label too~
(will be packaged in biodegradable shrink wrap)

https://sammiissynthetics.weebly.com/price-list--policies.html

β€œabout” thing

Welp, i've been making synthetic dreads for ~8 years. I'd say I specialize mostly in my bumpy dreads, blends, and I love to do halloween sets and rainbow sets the most.

This is my general price list: (I can of course do different amounts, this is just for my popular selling amounts!)

My wait list can vary from about 2 months, to 6. Just depends at the time~

I also accept payments! I prefer 2, but can do 3.

If you’re totally new to dreads, I recommend looking over this super informative blog post by Imp and Petal!
