We love HEMP!!!

Hemp

At the boutique of our Dreadlock Salon we strive to be innovative and contemporary also in the materials of the items we present to our customers.

One of the most talked about materials at the moment is Hemp, which comes from the Cannabis plant. Hemp is refined not only in clothing, but also in seed food, oil, wax, resin, rope, pulp, paper and fuel.

At Bohemia we are introducing for the first time in the country hemp sandals.

 And Unisex


We also have a selection of back bags

Hemp is several times stronger than cotton and have a much lighter impact on the environment. While cotton requires a heavy use of water, pesticides, energy and fertilizers to grow, harvest and be processed, hemp and jute grow well in high rainfall areas with little or no pesticides and fertilizers.

Therefore when you choose hemp you are helping the environment as well!

Oh! Almost forgot!
We have hemp rolling papers too! Thanks to Ziggy :)

Hand-made creations at Bohemia

Our little island is full of talented artists that create wonderful things with their hands. To create something hand-made is no easy job. You have to be patient, you have to be meticulous, you have to be disciplined and you have to be a strategists.

They participate in events such as the Artisan Market, where unfortunately many people don't appreciate the value of hand-made and feel that the items are over priced, when in reality, most artists are just trying to break even.

At BOHEMIA we have dedicated space for artists to showcase their creations:

1. Paint My Dream
Splendid clay decorations ideal for grown ups as well as kids. The imagination of Jelena has no limits and this is just a small idea of what she can do! Every day getting better and better :)

2. Berivan Serin Stone Painting
Amazing and colourful stones that can be used as a paper weight or just as is. Many of them have inspirational messages on them. Even for Beri the sky's the limit!

3. MANI Handmade
Annabelle and her beautiful art of Macrame', where she creates not just the common necklaces and bracelets, but intricate head bands, anklets and rings as well as lighter holders.

4. Kefa - Organic Coffee Soap
From a true coffee lover comes this refreshing idea of organic coffee soap, made with almond oil, olive oil and coconut oil.

Bohemia

This was a dream we have been cultivating for the past 2 years, and after a series of events we finally managed to make it come true.


So here it is: the very first dedicated professional Dreadlock Salon in Malta!

But there's more; Bohemia is actually a 3-in-1 concept: the first part of the outlet is the boutique; the second part of the outlet is a Dreadlock Salon; and the third part is a Body Piercing Studio.

We have put a lot of effort to reflect our personality and tastes into the outlet. We wanted an original theme and a salon that shouts creativity, innovation and charm. At the same time keeping the place inviting and friendly.

Most of the items at the Boutique are made in Nepal, but also India, Indonesia and Thailand. The Boutique features men and women clothing, jewellery, footwear, hats, bags, and several other accessories, as well as home decor.

BOHEMIA is located at 58B, Birkirkara Road, St Julians

beads beads beads!!!

Without doubt the most common and favourite way to style dreadlocks is by wearing dreadlock beads. These also comes as charms, cuffs and coils.

Best thing about styling and accessorizing your dreadlocks is that you don't have to spend a fortune! Check out your own jewellery box, or keep a keen eye at the charity shop or craft supplies store. Make sure you visit a second hand market or car booth sale.

Your mission is to spot anything with a hole or anything where you can put a hole into: rings, necklace charms, trinkets, seashells, pieces of tube - any of these can easily be transformed into a perfect dread bead! Be innovative and make your locks cool and attractive!


Are you crafty? Then try to make your own amazing beads with polymer clay. Its super fun and don't take much time and money. There are no limits to what you can create with polymer clay - you just need to have a bit of artistry and creativity.

Just in case you need a little inspiration, here's a gallery of our collection:

Facts about wax on dreadlocks

If you are considering making dreadlocks, then you might have come across locticians who make the use of wax. There are some people who encourage the use of wax, as well as of creams, gels, pastes and other products. They preach that they are an important factor to help the hair lock and tighten and will help speed up the process of your dreadlocks. But it is important to think twice before resorting to such products, for it is never wise to use chemicals, especially when there is a 'natural' way to go about it!

Usually those who are new to dreadlocks don't understand the maturity process of dreadlocks, which usually takes several months if not years, and are led to believe that they can obtain the same result with wax. If it sounds too good to be true, its because it is! Dreadlocks mature with time, by growing and interlocking into a matted form. Wax will stop the hair from even moving! Instead of the leaving the hair to tighten in its natural way, wax will actually slow down the process because the hair is held up together by a sticky substance and cannot move freely.

The use of wax is simply a short-cut option to give the impression that the hair is locked well. However this is only an illusion as the effect does not stay long, and after a few months the dreadlocks loose their shape, forcing the purchase of more wax. What the wax will in reality do is to leave the hair with a nasty white sticky residue which is almost impossible to remove, since it is a non-water soluble substance. In return, the residue will attract moisture, which will attract dirt, and finally the awful smell of 'dread-rot'.

What is by far the most effective method to make and grow dreadlocks, is "a la natural"!
Seriously, what is better that the natural way?
It will take long, it will take patience and commitment, but it is safe, cheaper, and the final result will be worth it!
