Spiralocks are an effective, safe and comfortable way to tie your dreadlocks. They are made with a flexible wire core that easily wraps around dreadlocks of any size for a comfortable and secure hold all day long.

Unlike regular elastic ties, which are difficult to use and can cause hair damage or tension headaches, Spiralocks are easy to apply and gentle on your hair. They are highly recommended by dreadlockers worldwide as the best way to tie up your hair. When not in use, Spiralocks can also be worn as a beautiful bracelet, providing quick access for an easy updo.

In 2011, friends Peta and Helen began their dreadlocks journey, frustrated by the lack of suitable options for managing their hair.


Experimenting with thread and wool at the kitchen table, they created the very first Spiralock, initially intended for personal use, but quickly recognised as a game-changer.

The unexpected global popularity of Spiralocks exceeded their capacity to hand-make them, forcing them to pivot to an ethical growth strategy.

After overcoming several obstacles, they set up production in Gunu, a remote island in Fiji. Spiralocks now supports seven underprivileged families in Fiji.


Despite the challenges of ethical production expansion, seeing the transformative impact Spiralocks has had on the lives of villagers made any difficulty worth it

No spiral, no dreadlocks! For me, the dread spiral is a real must have for dreadlocks.

A nice replacement for an elastic. And you can make beautiful knots and ponytails with it. Without too much effort.


You can easily wrap a dread spiral around your dreadlocks and secure it without pinching or even breaking your dreadlocks.

With a dread spiral you can prevent this from happening, and your bun will also look very decorative.
