About Us

Helping dreadheads since 2015

DreadLab started in Lincoln, England, in 2015 with a simple aim: to bring together the products, tools and knowledge people need to create and care for dreadlocks and braids.

Whether you're starting your first set, maintaining established dreadlocks or experimenting with a new look, we want finding the right products and advice to be straightforward.

Products for your hair, all in one place

We source dreadlock care products, styling tools and accessories from brands around the world, alongside our own growing range of DreadLab hair care products.

From everyday washing and maintenance to creating a completely different style, we keep expanding our range so you can find what you need in one place.

More than a shop

Choosing a product is only part of it. Knowing how to use it matters too. That's why our website includes written guides and practical how-tos covering dreadlock and braid creation, maintenance and care.

Our aim is the same as it was in 2015: help you create and maintain the hair you want, with useful advice, affordable products and friendly service.
