Although the dreadlocks showed themselves in the fashion world relatively recently, this hairstyle, in fact, is the oldest in the world. In the distant past, when a person did not know any scissors or comb, at an early age his hair naturally rolled into long coils. To create "dreadlocks naturel" a modern man would have to have patience, forgetting about his hair for several years. But, fortunately, if you want to try on a spectacular hairstyle, you can do it much faster. About how to braid and weave dreadlocks, how to look after them, and what hairdresses can be built from them and we'll talk today.
Girls with dreadlocks look spectacular, because "terrible locks" (namely, the full name of the hairdress - "dreadlocks") visually increase the volume of hair and rivet the views of others.
Female dreadlocks are plaited in the same way as mens. The way to create a hairstyle depends on the kind of dreadlocks that you choose.
Types of dreadlocks
- J-dreadlocks. Short-lived (term socks - up to 3 months), but spectacular "terrible curls", for the creation of which enough and 5-6 cm of your own hair. These are thin artificial dreadlocks that delight the palette of flowers, the ease of interlacing in the hair (using the figure-eight or ordinary pigtail), originality, and also its safety.
- De-dreadlocks. This kind of dreadlocks also does not require sacrificing native locks. To create de-dreadlocks, a kanekalon is used, a material that is very similar to natural hair. With the help of kanekalon, you can create dreadlocks of any length, and their advantage is that it will look like their own. Although, of course, there are a lot of kanekalon colors, and you can ask the master to combine different colors in a fantasy order. Interweave such dreadlocks usually by the method of the eight, and at the end of the period of socks (2 months), you can reuse them.
- Safe dreadlocks. This is also a kanekalon, but already in the form of a special workpiece, which is simply attached to the native hair. With the help of "safety" you can please yourself with long, bulky, light dreadlocks of any colors, which can be attached to short (from 5 cm) hair.
- Nepalese dreadlocks. To create these dreadlocks, we use felt billets. The non-naturalness of this material is, as a rule, conspicuous. If de-dreadlocks and "safety" bright colors will give you a similarity with the heroine of anime, the felt is more likely associated with rastaman motifs. In addition, when wet, these dreadlocks have a specific odor.
- Dangerous dreadlocks. These are real dreadlocks, which are created from native hair. Accordingly, the length of these dreadlocks is determined by the original length of your hair, which should be at least 10-15 cm (the more, the better). Although in the process you can weave the same felt or kanekalon. Methods of weaving dangerous dreadlocks are many: this includes crocheting, and twisting, and naschesyvanie, and rubbing with wool. Be sure to negotiate with the master the number of dreadlocks and what will be their tip: "live" or hidden inside. And ask to teach you how to weave dreadlocks, since the hair will have to be updated as the hair grows. Unlike other types of dreadlocks, dangerous ones are made for a period of several years. As a rule, we must crochet the dreadlocks for crocheting.

In the future, wash your head with an ordinary shampoo or soap, using slightly salted water. Forget about means 2 or 3 in one!
Hairstyles from dreadlocks
"Horrible curls" is a hairstyle in itself. Owners of de-or safe dreadlocks are easier to cope with the "mane of a lion", since the kanekalon is quite elastic. You can tie dreadlocks in knots, weave braids from them or pin them with cute hairpins.
