Dread Bands

I typically wear a bandanna when I leave the house. My hair hangs loosely out the back and it looks more presentable while things get underway with my hair, but I really want a band or something, something that looks pretty "natural/rustic" too and masculine. Anybody ever seen something like this? I'm thinking of trying to make my own pattern/design for a small hemp/macrame band - just something that loosely bunches my hair together and keeps it back and looks pretty good.

 

why don't you just take a leather belt and tighten it around ya fohead

 

Because I stopped wearing tighty-whitey's years ago.

 

doug was the man,

teach yourself how to knit, there is some pretty helpful videos on the internet, thats what i did

 

shit, and i thought my idea was original.
for real though, maybe some natural looking materials like linen, hemp, leather, suede (or imitation) something with texture but one solid color.

 

I know how to knit and crochet. I made my tam. Maybe I can knit one out of natural hemp and it'll give it a more rustic/summer look instead of the winter-esque yarn look.

Something like this would be perfect:

 

I just rip up old nylons

 

Nobody better be trying to insult Douglas Yahntzee Funny.

As for a dread band, I've used the sleeve of a t-shirt, or I cut some strips of fabric out of an old shirt I don't wear and sew a nice band.

 

I can never wear headbands for long, stopped using them a few weeks into my dread journey, They were annoying the dreads at the back of my head (making them all bent and shit). Felt really crap...anyway. Why don't you wear a tam ?_?

 

That looks really simple, too. You could knit that in just a few minutes

 

I usually wear my Buff. There great!

I also have a really nice headband i brought off some dreadlock site.

And then I also do the sleeve of a shirt idea, but only for home

 

I guess I just don't understand what isn't rustic about a bandana...

 

the only thing with hemp is that it doesn't stretch so you'd have to tie it at the back.
