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

That's really cute I could get some seriously MASSIVE hair going on if I did this with a long set of naturals

She has 77 thin double ended dreads.

Oh my, that look cute! :O
That's my to-do hair for this summer, deffo!

I LOVE !!!

Might post a pic up if it works on me

Very beautiful ! x

Thanks!!! This is great. I've been after something like this

Very pretty; I'll try this next time I install

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.

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 )

thanks for posting pictures. It looks great!!

Tis all down to you lady! x

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

LOVE this!

this would look soo cute with natural to bright transitionals all the color would just fountain out of the top its lovely

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

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?

Looks fab! Going to try this on my lunch hour!

Ooh I love this! Im gonna try this when Ive finished making my next set!

LOVE IT!!!!

If I ever wear long dreads I'm gonna have to try this out

That looks amazing! Ive achieved a similar look using ribbons and laces and stuff but never without that would stay! thanks

oh this is so nice. i just tried but my dreads arent quite long enough for it too look right. theyre just below shoulder length.

that style is amaing will have to try with the next set i install and

wow your dreads are amazing and look so natural ^_^

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





And this one, inspired by Minmar on LJ.



When I get to install these babies again, I'll give it a go for you guys
