I need some hairstyles for my dreadlocks, different ways to tie them up etc I have a christmas dinner to go to with my husbands company and I dont want to turn up dressed all nice looking like my hair has been dragged through a bush backwards ( although on a normal, non special occaison day id be qiote happy to look that way ).....any ideas people?
depends on how long they are ,,, i take a dread from each side and tie behind on my head, then grab a couple more and go down the back of my hair, and do it as many times as i feel like tieing,, keeps it all back n fairly under control ... i also flip mine up on my head almost like a bun and tie a dread around them or just flip the back hair up in half like and tie it up with a dread from either side...
you can always do a hair wrap. with the right outfit, a brightly colored wrap is an amazing accessory and keeps you looking more presentable for those special occasions.
i grab a few locks from one side of my forehead and twist them towards my ear, then add some more and keep twisting, add more etc till i reach my nape. use a clip to hold em in place and then do the same the other side. hold the ponytail and twist that up the back of my head, use a couple of wooden spikey things to hold it together then secure with hair pins looks dead posh!
oooo thanks everyone keep em coming, my dreads are almost all the way down my back, but the front is alot shorter, like shoulder length
I french braid mine if I don't want them to look so dread-like. you could do one or two french braids, and then tuck the end up under it.
