Decorating dreads is for me one of the best benefits of having them! And there's practically no limit to what you can put. From inserting rings and endless charms to hanging buttons and beads of any type!
Let your imagination flow...
or get some ideas from here :)
I'm gonna start this post with my most favourite dread deco... seashells!
They are cool, they are organic, and they are perfect for the Summer!
Cowry shells remind me of my Indian summer... collecting handfuls and handfuls of cowrys from the sand after the gentle waves brought them to me!
I love conchs too... can you hear the waves and the wind? Whenever I see a beautiful conch I can almost smell and taste the sea too!
Next are some cool images of... well... charming beads ideas for your dreads!
Brass and Metal Dreadlocks Rings
Charms hooked on Dreadlocks
Skulls
If you prefer something simple and effective, try string wraps with plain beads in natural colours; they're an amazing combination.
Silver tunnel rings and brown criss-crossed string wraps look great on blond dreads.
Another idea.. make your own beaded string dread with a mix of your favourite beads and an awesome pendant at the end.
This reminds me of my friend Emma, who left for long-term travelling and before leaving asked all her friends to put something in her dreads. Soon after her hair was looking like a museum. If you like this style, just go with it, and keep adding!
Pearl beads are perfect if you have only a few dreads with your natural hair.
Macrame hair strings come in various shapes and sizes. Include some round beads and buttons too!
If you know how to play with polymer clay these are so cool and so easy to make. Dreadlock rings for the 7 Chakras! Ohm Shanti Ohm!
Or maybe you prefer traditional Dreadlock rings.
Most organic rings you will find will be made out of coconut, bone, horn and wood.
When you fix a charm or a bead to your dreads, better to place it on the bottom half part of your hair, so that it will not press upon your skull when you are lying down.
It will be a creation game of showing your personality!
