15 Reasons Why Dreadlocks Are Beautiful

From voluminous braids, to elegant updo’s, dreadlocks aren’t just matted, backcombed strands of hair, but beautiful strands designed into elegant, full-bodied hairstyles.  Here are our 15 reasons to get your hair dreaded by spring!

With dreadlocks, you are able to craft the perfectly intricate messy braid. No need to worry about adding extra braids or teasing your hair to get the full-body effect, dreads will pump up the volume, and act as the perfect accessory at the beach.

2. Trendy Texture

Nothing looks better with dreads than a little bit of texture. Add feathers, yarn, and beads to complete your knotted hairstyle, and make it uniquely yours.

3. Neat and Chic

If a heavily-teased-and-tangled hairstyle isn’t for you, ditch the feathers and plaited hairstyles. Take good care of your dreadlocks, and you can have these neatly chic strands.
