Dreadlocks, locks or dreadlocks - this has been a popular method for weaving / tangling hair for a long time. There is no single subculture whose representatives would wear dreadlocks, although still more often the hairstyle is associated with the Rastafari movement. It is not necessary to be an admirer of reggae style to make curls woven. This hairstyle is ancient, it can be called universal.
Dreadlocks always make an impression, and if a girl decided to transform herself in such a vivid way, then even before weaving, she wonders what options for hairstyles with dreadlocks exist.
Tail
This is the easiest way - to collect dreadlocks in the tail, which turns out to be voluminous. It looks impressive if you have a beautiful oval of the face, as well as if you want to draw attention to your ears (for example, wear eye-catching earrings). Tailing can occur using third-party accessories (rubber bands, scarves, ribbons, etc.) or using the dreadlocks themselves. Several dreadlocks can be twisted around the bulk of the hair and held together with invisibles.
Men usually do just that, while women try to use jewelry.
Due to the huge volume, it is not always possible to make a reliable tail. Therefore, it is easier to divide the hair into 2 parts: fix the upper one into the tail with twisting by other dreadlocks, the second part of the hair remains loose. Gum with various inscriptions is also in fashion: if you belong to reggae culture, then quotes from Bob Marley on gum will emphasize this well.
Braids
If you only get used to dreadlocks, then braiding them in a braid will not be so simple. But over time, be sure to get some hands on it. There may be several braids. Or it will be one thick braid that will have to be fastened with an elastic band. Another interesting option is to braid as many braids out of dreadlocks as you can.Therefore, wrap each pigtail in a flagellum and secure it with a hairpin. Such hairstyles are often called "alien." For the aesthetics of the 90s, this is ideal if you want to look like the MTV VJ.
And one more option with pigtails:
- braid the braid from those dreadlocks that are located on the face;
- wrap your head oblique, like a rim;
- fasten the tip of the braid to the opposite ear.
Women's hairstyles with dreadlocks look great, if you use satin ribbons for them - weave them in fragments, combining shades advantageously.
Two bunches
Such an image looks great on young girls (as well as on those who feel they are). Bunches for owners of long dreadlocks are suitable. Hair should be divided into 2 parts, lower and upper. The bottom remains unchanged, but the upper part should be divided in half. Twist each half into bundles and fix it in any way convenient for you: it is easier to make it invisible with elastic bands, hairpins, invisible.
If you want to stand out, take 2 small bright bandanas, twist them into thin strips, wrap each around a bunch. Add the image with other elements of the image: beautiful jewelry on the neck, bright earrings, tattoos, bracelets - all this will help to make the image whole.
You can also add a hairstyle as follows: wrap one dreadlock across the entire diameter with colored thick thread. It is such "chips" that make you memorable.
Star examples
Famous personalities often turned to the aesthetics of dreadlocks and in this image became even more recognizable. For girls, Rihanna demonstrated good examples of the original treatment of dreadlocks. True, stars often use artificial dreadlocks, which are perfectly removed (real ones, recall, have to be cut off). Here are some examples for inspiration.
- Rihanna The original star has always used bright hairstyles. It was logical to see her once with dreadlocks. If you’re tired of hair, you want to cut it, you can try to make dreadlocks of it first. Perhaps, in such an extravagant way, you want to linger, and you always have time to cut your curls. If you are not so determined, turn to synthetic dreadlocks.
- Irina Shayk. Beloved Bradley Cooper knows how to command the best catwalks in the world and, of course, men. Moreover, Irina does not go into the classics: she is not averse to misbehaving. It seems that such a vivid image with colored dreadlocks added to the beauty of the Russian model even more mystery and sexuality. And if you also want to make a splash, appear at some event in an unusual way, see how Irina managed to do it.
- Lady Gaga. It is unlikely that the American star surprised anyone with such a transformation (she could not count the vivid images), but it is impossible not to notice the version of ultra-long dreadlocks in the blonde style. In summer and winter, the hairstyle will make you pay attention to yourself.
- Daria Stavrovich. Lovers of dreadlocks could not ignore the example of the lead singer of the Slot group. With this hairstyle, the vocalist looks harmonious, it seems she was born with such hair. This is a great example for brunettes.
By the way, Daria in every possible way beat her hair, weaves threads and other decorative elements into it, twists it into tails, etc.
- Pink The image is not the most relevant, but after all, fashion is inclined to return. Brunettes with long hair can be inspired by the image of a pink hooligan. Not corny, sexy and very comfortable.
A huge number of successful examples of hairstyles with dreadlocks (and not necessarily stellar ones) are presented on Pinterest. If about 20 years ago dreadlocks were worn by girls from certain circles (“alternative girls” or rock stars), today the female image with dreadlocks has become more democratic. Hairstyling options are becoming brighter, weaving is becoming more and more interesting.
Hairstyles with faux dreadlocks
Rolled hair strands are a serious step. It is impossible to weave and comb, it is impossible to give your hair the same state. You only have to cut it, or rather, shave it bald.For this reason, many do not dare to join the ranks of dreadlock fans, but there is a solution. Artificial, mostly kanekalonny strands are sold inexpensively, they are equipped with special clamps. You can buy multi-colored artificial dreadlocks and try to weave them in real hair.
Most often, with synthetic dreadlocks make high tails and "hoots". Image changes dramatically. If you are waiting for a photo shoot, and you have not yet thought out the image, pay attention to artificial dreadlocks. Such family portraits look great: for example, if mom and daughters made themselves such hairstyles.
To become brighter is a good therapy for those who are tired of routine, monotony and lack of external self-expression.
In the near future, perhaps, there will be a new surge in the fashion for dreadlocks. Judging by reports on social networks, many fans of the work of Cyril Tolmatsky (Decl) plan to make such a hairstyle. In memory of an early star, fans want to turn to the business card of his image - dreadlocks. Recall that Cyril made them in his youth and never refused a hairstyle.
By the way, if dreadlocks began to touch the earth, in the culture of Rastafarism this is considered a symbol of enlightenment. But even if you do not put philosophical overtones in such a bright hairstyle, the very idea of creating it is not bad. And if you are afraid of sudden changes, practice with artificial dreadlocks. They are easy to weave, easy to remove, easy to transform. And already having vilified them, you will understand whether such metamorphoses of your own hair are worth it.
