It's gettin' hot!!! Dread Styles for the Summer

First week of July, and we have a temperature of 31 degrees already! It's gettin' hot! And this is nothing! In July and August we will suffer heat waves of up to 40 degrees! 

One of the most things that can be really frustrating during these hot days of Summer is the hair on shoulders and face. But don't despair, and don't go for the scissors either. Check out some ideas below to put up your dreads in style!


KNOTTED STYLE
The most common and easiest way to pull up your dreads is by grabbing your dreads and twist them in one large knot.


BABA STYLE
Basically the same concept as the knotted style but instead of pulling the hair behind, you pull it on top of your head.


PLAITED STYLE
Divide your dreads in 3 equal parts and make a plait. Very easy and comfortable. There are various styles of plaits - and you can always do the plait sideways too.

 
 

INTERTWINED
Looks complicated, but is quite simple. Probably it is simpler if you have a friend helping you. Start by separating each one your dreads and twist and turn the dreads in each other. You can do it systematically, and you end up with up in a nice symmetrical shape - or you can do it un-systematically, with your dreads in a nice chaotic style.
 


If you have very, I mean VERY, long dreads, here's what you can do...


Taking inspiration once again from the Baba style, you can knot up your dreads sideways and make a huge shell shape.


Only if you feel like it...
