Pic tut. : dread lock up-do
This is an easy way to wear your dreads up. It can be spiced up with scarfs, flowers, bows or what ever you feel like. No pins, elastic bands or nothing.
This style is great in the summer if your hot, and need your har out of the way.
1: Devide your hair so you have to big sections of hair on each side - one in front and one behind your ear. The rest of the hair is pulled back.
2: Take the front sections and tie them back.
3: Twist the dreads in the back and put them on top of your head.
4: Take the two last sections and tie them together over the other knot.
5: Flip the dreads back

Re: Pic tut. : dread lock up-do
I'm glad you like it - actually I did the guide for the girl in the picture. I put it up for her once, and she couldn't figure out how to do it her self. So I made her the guide and wanted to share.
I'd love to see pictures if any of you try this out... The dreads need to be longish.

Re: Pic tut. : dread lock up-do
I did it ! Mine are pretty heavy and full so I tied them lower and this is what I came out with!
I'm really loving it !!! Its so comfy I think you may have introduced me to my new favorite hairstyle ! No more excruciating high ponytails I've tried loads of updo's but none of them work ! And I'm so happy this one does !!! CHUFFED MUCH ! Sorry for pic spam !!! (if theyre cut off just drag em onto the tab bar )

Re: Pic tut. : dread lock up-do
I'm going to have to try that this summer, normally my dreads are just knotted at the back or in low bunches but that up-do looks so pretty

Re: Pic tut. : dread lock up-do
hehe, this is really similar to how i put my dreads up
it looks fab with curlies, especially transitionals and its supper pretty if you dress it up with some hair sticks too
and its sooo comfyyyyyy

Re: Pic tut. : dread lock up-do
i dont even know how to keep hair sticks in (have not tried with dreads)! i can see it though. i can't picture this with curlies though, wouldn't they just be pulled taut when it's tied? i guess if they were really long... but i still can't visualize. do you have a picture of it?

Re: Pic tut. : dread lock up-do
I wasn't convinced this was going to work for me with the fact my current dreads are so long, but I gave it a try.
My new work hairstyle!
Thanks, I never would have thought of it on my own

I did something similar a while back, but with twisting instead
