Despite the fact that dreadlocks quite recently declared themselves in the fashion world, this hairstyle is the oldest in the world. The emergence of dreadlocks is rooted in the Rastafarian religion and Hindu hermit practices. In those days when there were no scissors or comb, long hair, growing back naturally, rolled into long mats.
Modern girls to create natural dreads would have to be patient and completely forget about their hair for several years. Fortunately, repeating the ancient Hindu's hairstyle on your head is much easier and faster today. In our review we will talk about how to braid and weave dreadlocks, what types of weaving exist and how to build a hairstyle from dreadlocks.

Jah-dreadlocks are pleased with a variety of shades, an original look and safety of weaving.
Women's de dreads

Natural dreadlocks, which are created from the native hair. The length of such dreads depends on the initial length of the hair, which should reach at least 10-15 cm. There are many ways of weaving dangerous dreads:

According to most girls, it is easy to care for dreadlocks. Indeed, head with dreadlocks can be washed less often. You are free from daily hair styling procedures, save on shampoos and balms. However, it is very important to know how and with what to wash the dreadlocks, so that they look properly.
- It is recommended that artificial dreadlocks be washed once a week with a regular shampoo diluted with water. It is not necessary to use hair conditioner; drying of dreads is also not required.
- dangerous dreadlocks require a little more attention in the first month of wearing. During this period, they need to be washed with plain water and every day to curl the locks from the roots to the tips, creating taut sausages. In the future, the hair should be washed with ordinary shampoo or soap with the addition of salted water.
Hairstyles with dreadlocks
Dreadlocks themselves are haircuts and in rare cases need some styling. Owners of safe dreads and de dreads will cope most easily with hair, since Kanekalon is a rather elastic material. Dreadlocks from Kanekalon can be tied into knots, weave them into a braid, pin up with original hairpins.
Natural dreadlocks harder to collect. As a rule, they are tied into a large knot or secured with a special elastic bandage. It is always possible to decorate dangerous dreadlocks with rings or pendants.
Hair after dreadlocks
The condition of the hair depends on what types of dreads you used.Owners of artificial dreadlocks do not really worry about their hair. Few care products and curls will regain their original appearance.
