Dreads are a hairstyle that are definitely growing in popularity among women; they’re even moving to the forefront of pop culture. From celebrities like Lisa Bonet to Rihanna, we’ve seen dreadlocks featured with looks of high fashion. And while many stick to one style, there are many different options. From waves and curls to bright colors, here are 33 ideas for your next hairstyle. Down And Simple Photo from @jshanelle Instagram If you have dreads, you know that there’s that rough growing period after your dreads are no longer babies anymore. You usually have to wait until you’re past the phase where they’re sticking out. One of the best things that happen is when they finally grow long enough for them to fall straight. While there isn’t much that goes into this style, it is simple and requires absolutely no effort to bring the style to life. Long And Luscious Photo from @loclivesmatter Instagram While the first style on this list won’t take you that long, this style will definitely take you years and years of growing out your hair. Truth be told, most don’t reach this level of growth with their dreads, but it’s possible. Similar to the “Down and Simple,” this style requires almost no prior preparation. All one really needs to do is focus on their roots and make sure they’re tight and snatched. Twisted Space Buns Photo from @itslocgoals Instagram We used to associate the space buns hairstyle with the ‘90s, but like many trends of the decade, they’re back and better than ever. While it is common to see them on natural or relaxed hair, they’re equally as possible on dreads. Some might choose to recreate the hairstyle by simply manipulating their hair into space buns, but this style takes it to a different level. Instead, you’ll see that two dreads were twisted together before being placed into the buns. While this might take some work if you’re not great at twisting, the final product definitely seems to be worth it. The Messy Bun Photo from @aboutalaysia Instagram Tons of us are always trying to perfect the messy bun. I mean, personally, I’ve probably spent over 10 minutes twisting and untwisting my hair to make it look cute but unbothered. Well, instead of the beehive, another style you’ll see later on this list, we have the messy bun. The effort alone to pile all the hair on top of the head isn’t for the weak at arms, but the exposed ends of the dreads in this bun make it messy, cute, and perfect for an effortless look. Wavy Dreads Photo from @hairlocsjourney Instagram When most of us think of dreads, you’re probably only thinking that they come in one style – straight. I used to think that as well, but they come in a variety of sizes and styles. Another option for dreads might be to keep them cute and wavy. While you might need to make a special appointment for a hair stylist to bring this look to life, there’s no denying that this hairstyle might be what you need to spice up your look. Short And Red Photo from @curlytop.nia Instagram Nothing spices up a hairstyle more than the color red. If you’re looking to dabble in some color, feel free to throw in some black to red ombre. Ideal for showing off the color on short dreads, you can easily throw the hair up into a similar styled pineapple to showcase the color. Plus, this shade of red is perfect for both hotter and colder months. Three Toned Ombre Photo from @uhohoreoo Instagram A lot of women are scared about adding color to their hair, but girls just want to have fun! A great way to liven up dreads is with color. While the three toned ombre in this hairstyle probably wasn’t intentional, it’s working anyway. Chances are, the locks were bleached to add either the blue or lavender shade, but eventually washed out or faded away. Regardless, we’re loving the multiple shades in this hairstyle. Up in a high ponytail, it helps emphasize the three different colors coming to life in this style. One Long Dread Photo from @sherylstmichel Instagram While I can’t be sure that there’s an actual term for this, I’ve heard some dreadless heads call their one dread a “luck dread.” Regardless, this style featured one long dread while the others rest at a medium length along the shoulders. You might not see it in this particular style, but this hairdo can be enhanced by adding hair accessories as well. Wrapped Bun Photo from @sweater_mrc Instagram When it comes to hairstyles, you’ll always find that we often turn to headwraps. In this style, we have a bun style that has been enhanced, and probably supported, with a headwrap. To specialize this look even more, it features a few dreads left out from the bun and adorned with gold hair beads. The Twisted Fishtail Braid Photo from @marijoelle_b Instagram If you look at the intricacies of this hairstyle, you can tell it’s not for the faint of heart. One, it probably isn’t simple enough to do yourself, and you might find yourself sitting for a while as your hairstylist figures it out. Regardless, the regalness of this style is definitely meant for queens. While the twisted dreads begin at the front of the head, they travel down the and twist into what looks like a fishtail braid. Plus, the added gold accessories help polish off this look of royalty. The Messy Pineapple Photo from @rk.luxe Instagram An alternative to the messy bun, the messy pineapple is essentially an even messier version of the same style. With less structure, the pineapple is meant to branch out from different sides, essentially creating the illusion of pineapple leaves. This particular style features a soft ombre that goes from a dark brown to a lighter auburn color.
