Here’s a glimpse into some of my favourite dreadlock styles, each a testament to the beauty of self-expression and creativity.
Dreadlock style with Waves Large Beads
For clients who crave something unique and elegance, the style featuring waves large beads is a perfect choice. By designing intricate waves on wooden dreadlock beads and incorporating them into the locks, I create a look that is both sophisticated and eye-catching, allowing my clients to make a statement wherever they go.
Ginger partial dreadlocks
This style is a recent favorite, and it’s all about embracing the natural warmth of ginger hair. After installing partial dreadlocks, I adorned them with an array of dreadlock accessories and creations from my shop. The combination of the rich ginger tones with carefully selected adornments creates a striking and unforgettable look.
Viking Dreadlocks
Inspired by the strength and resilience of Viking warriors, this style combines shaved sides with dreadlocks on the top for a bold and powerful look.
By adorning the locks with Autumnal wraps, I add extra texture and visual interest, creating a style that commands attention and exudes confidence.
Blonde dreadlocks with one shaved sice
This cool style features blonde dreadlocks that go from dark to light, with one side of the head shaved for an edgy look.
The XL medi earrings add extra flair, showing off the wearer’s bold and confident vibe.
Blonde partial dreadlock style
In this classic style, blonde partial dreadlocks range from dark to light hues, paired with a feather bone hair stick, hair wraps and beads for a timeless touch of elegance that never fades.
Half Bun beach style dreadlocks
In this beach-ready look, I’ve fashioned my dreadlocks into a relaxed half bun, ideal for soaking up the sun and surf. To capture the essence of the ocean, I’ve accessorized with Ocean Vibes Dreadlock wraps, mirroring the tranquil shades of the sea.
