From festivals to building a beautiful community, our journey with locs has always been about so much more than just hair… it’s about connection, trust, self-expression & celebrating individuality ✨

What started as a passion we nurtured from home has now grown into something even more special… our new Holistic Loc Salon in Shaftesbury, Dorset 🍃

At Dreadit, we’ve created a calm, earthy space where you can slow down, feel comfortable, be fully yourself and feel genuinely supported throughout your loc journey.

Whether you’re starting your locs for the very first time, coming for maintenance, repairs, adornments or extensions… our intention is always the same:

To create an experience that feels safe, welcoming, empowering & deeply personal 🧡

This work has always felt like purpose to us, and we’re so grateful to continue growing this beautiful community together.

More of this, please! 🥹☀️💃🏽

More women gathering, more kitchen dancing, more belly laughs, more moments of simply being together 💞🌊

And a little reminder to gather your people and make more room for JOY! 🤍

Because the truth is, about a year ago, I was feeling really lonely in my hometown. I'd felt that way for quite some time, and I was craving a deeper sense of connection and community with the women around me locally.

Eventually, I took a little leap of faith and posted in a local wellness community group, sharing how I felt. And so many other women came forward saying they felt the same.

That one little post became the beginning of something beautiful. We started gathering, connecting, co-creating events and slowly building the kind of community we'd all been longing for.

And now, here we are. 🥹

A weekend away together, cooking breakfast, dancing around the kitchen to "Joy" and sharing the kind of connection that reminds you how beautiful life can be.

I'm sharing this because I know I'm not the only one who's ever felt lonely, even in the place I've called home for years.

Sometimes, the community we're longing for doesn't already exist in the way we need it to.

Sometimes, we have to take that first little step towards creating it ourselves.

If you've been craving connection, sisterhood or a deeper sense of belonging where you live, perhaps this is your gentle nudge to reach out, start the conversation or gather a few people together 🤍

You never know what beautiful things might grow from one brave, small step! 🌱💞 by @dreadit.uk

A change of season calls for a little loc refresh 🍂🌿✨

As we settle into autumn and the cooler months ahead, it's the perfect time to give your locs a little extra TLC and get them feeling fresh, healthy and loved 🍂✨

A gentle reminder to my lovely loc family to get your autumn and winter maintenance appointments booked in, especially if you'd love a fresh set of roots in time for Christmas! As we are getting booked up but we still have availability! So don't hesitate to message us! 🎄✨

Our diary is open, and booking ahead means you can secure a time that works best for you!

Sometimes I forget to stop and appreciate just how much this business means to me 🤎

Because honestly, it’s never just been about hair.

It’s the laughing until we’re crying, the random chats that turn into deep heart-to-hearts, the stories, the hugs, the dancing around to music, sharing food, and all the little moments in between that you couldn’t plan if you tried.

It’s getting to know the humans behind the hair...

Hearing about your lives, your journeys, your highs and your lows. Being trusted with a little piece of your world, and getting to share a little piece of mine, too 🥹🫂

Somewhere along the way, Dreadit became so much more than I ever imagined it would be. And I think that’s my favourite part of all of this.

I bloody love humans. I love connection. I love those moments where you forget you’re even having an appointment because you’re just there, together, being human 🫂🤪💃🏽🕺🏽

And I think that’s what I want this space to be all about... Not just creating beautiful locs, but creating a space where people feel comfortable enough to be themselves...

Where we can laugh, talk absolute nonsense, have the deep conversations, share music, and just enjoy being in each other’s company.

Community, connection and purpose have always been at the heart of why I do this. And looking back at these moments has reminded me just how much of that we’ve created together. 🥹

So if you’ve ever sat in our chair, shared a cuppa, had a dance, given me a hug, or had a good old natter with us… thank you. You’re a part of this, too!!

It really is about so much more than hair. 🤎🌿

From summer festival vibes to autumnal tones 🍂✨

As the seasons change, I love switching up the decorations in my locs to reflect the time of year. Out with the lighter coloured summer threads and beads, and in with earthy tones, warm colours and little details that feel more in tune with the season 🤎

I filmed myself taking out my old decorations and giving my own locs a little seasonal refresh!

And here's something you might not know… I offer loc decoration sessions at Dreadit, too! 🌿

Whether you'd love some autumnal threads, new beads, beautiful charms or a complete seasonal refresh, we can create something that feels like you.

You don't need to be booked in for maintenance to enjoy a little loc adornment session. It's a lovely way to refresh your look, get creative and add some personality to your locs as we head into autumn and winter ✨

🍂 Autumn & winter decoration sessions are available to book.

Send me a message if you'd like to chat about creating your own look! 🍁🍂🤎 by @dreadit.uk

A little vulnerable share today… 🤍

Only a year ago, I felt deeply lonely in my own hometown.

I had lots of people around me through my work and communities, but when I had time off, I often found myself alone.

I was craving those everyday friendships - people to go for walks with, have tea with, make spontaneous plans with and simply do life with 🫂

Fast forward a year, and I feel so incredibly grateful for the community and friendships I now have around me! 🌱

It’s amazing what can change when we are vulnerable and create space for connection.

If you’ve ever felt this way too, I’d love to hear from you. 🤍

Have you been craving more connection or friendship in your local community?

Or maybe this has inspired you to create a little more of it yourself? 🌱

I won't lie... I have been feeling quite stagnant with my movement & fitness recently.

I haven't gone to my fitness class in a whileeeee...

I have been prioritising other areas of my life (business and social!)...

But I have actually been enjoying dancing at home again, even if only to a few songs a day!

And I wanted to bring you on the journey with me...

I was feeling a little bit stagnant... not so connected to my body and I wanted to gently connect back to myself again 🔥✨💃🏽...

For me it's always movement that brings me back to myself... To my wellness & peace within myself 💛

This was my morning dance just now. And I feel so much better already!

More alive, more joy, more freedom and less in my mind! 💃🏽

I'd love to know.... Do you dance at home too? If so, have you been consistent with it recently? If not, let's encourage each other to get back into the groove of it 💃🏽✨🔥

Dancing truly is so healing ✨ taken in Shaftesbury, Dorset by @dreadit.uk

Today I woke up feeling stagnant...

Tired...in my head, and a little bit overwhelmed with my focus list 🥹

So I knew I needed to hydrate properly & moveeee my body...

To get out of my head and INTO my body instead!! ✨🔥

It's amazing what a shift I felt after simply dancing to one song for 5 mins or so! 🥳

Now the thought of my focus lists feels less like...

"I have so much I need to do" 🫠

And more like...

"I have so much I GET to do - what a blessing!" 😌

This is your reminder to move your body today, even if only for one song and 5 minutes! 💃🏽💛🕺🏽

Send this to someone who might need this reminder! 💌 Or tag your dance partner in the comments 🥰

Thank you @kitschandsash for a fun house mix I danced to this morning!! ✨🥳
