In addition to World Cup fever, some people have been overwhelmed with envy for the dreadlocks of team U.S.A. player Kyle Beckerman. Coincidentally, [Free People](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fp-movement) is now selling packs of dreadlock extensions, which can be clipped into hair just as you would any other hair extension.

There are some wacky [hair accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gem-z-collection) out there, but these ones are extra unusual. The dreadlocks by Purple Finch come as single strands in a pack of 10 for $128, which seems pricey, but since it takes time for dreadlocks to form and it's very difficult to remove them afterwards, perhaps experimenting with a temporary option isn't such a bad idea after all. The dreadlocks have a comb-on application and are made with a combination of wool, silk, cotton and brass. As well as a natural shade, the dreads also come in a vibrant blue.
