Dread updos

Marjolein van der Weide on Instagram: "Do you know the struggle of slipping dreads? 👇 It’s definitely one of mine when I self-install my temporary dreads, to braid them in tight enough to prevent them from slipping. 💝 I will share a little secret of mine: secure the first step of braiding with an extra elastic 💝 I hope it saves you as much as it does for me 💖 #hairhack #hairtutorial #hairideas #tutorial #haireducation #dreads"

If you're tender-headed here are some easy and gentle updo hairstyles for long locs. Be sure to be kind to your edges.

19. Half-Up Half-Down Kinky Loops. Kinky texture looks cute when accompanied by shiny details. For a strikingly beautiful effect, combine your kinky loops with neatly twisted braids on one side to give an undercut feel. The loopy texture adds an extra Afropunk flavor to this cool style for women.

18. Boho Dread Updo Super chunky dreadlocks are perfect for updos and experimental hairstyles. Start at the front of your hair and twist the dreadlocks backwards. It doesn’t have to be neat either, the messier the hair, the more boho chic it looks!

10. Inverted Mohawk Updo. You don’t have to appear quirky with locs – style them to look polished and ready for any occasion. This posh updo is both office-worthy and party-ready. Another variation of the Mohawk and a great idea for females who might not be comfortable with the razzle-dazzle of the undercut. Cool!
