Whether you like sleek fades or undercuts, dreadlocks have the power to transform any seasonal hairstyle into a guaranteed streetwear look. If you're considering updating your everyday look with dreadlocks, look no further. We've rounded up the best dreadlock styles for men to inspire you.
1. Cropped with Dreadlocks
If you want to upgrade your style from a taper fade, you should consider trying an undercut. The longer your dreads are, the more drama this cut will add to your style. Make a high ponytail or bun out of your hair to showcase your shaved sides. If you're feeling daring, you can finish off your appearance with pearls and other accessories that go with your current ensemble.
2. Braided Dreadlocks
There are several braiding techniques for dyed hair. Choosing any of them will undoubtedly give your appearance some intriguing texture. Furthermore, it's a good idea to occasionally alter things. Keep your dreadlocks thin if you're trying for a braided look. This way, the appearance is easier to control and it is easier to incorporate more complex styling elements. Of course, there are also braids that suit thick dreadlocks, so it's a win-win here.
3. Dreadlock Eyebrow Flow
Bro Flow dreadlocks are the perfect “undone” look for events and casual occasions. But for this effortless look to be successful, you need to make sure your locks aren't too tight. This will maintain the natural thickness of your hair and add height to your dreadlocks. To achieve the perfect look, your dreadlocks should skim the bottom of your neck in the back and frame your facial features in the front.
4. Mohawk with dreadlocks
This style shows that you can incorporate dreadlocks into any hairstyle. The crucial element to achieving this look is shaving the sides of the head, thus shaping the iconic mohawk silhouette. The length of your locks will determine the final appearance of your “hawk”. They can be as long or short, uniform or uneven as your formidable head desires.
5. Dreadlocks with a Side Part
A deep side part can visibly increase the volume of your crown and give your dreadlocks a stunning look. If you create a side part when you start dreading your hair, your dreadlocks will naturally start to grow in this shape. Alternatively, if you've already grown dreadlocks, the weight of your long locks should help hold the style in place once created. To give it a little more edge, you can also consider adding an undercut to this style.
