Tell me you’re not looking at this man and going, “I must make my hair like this ASAP.” Short dreadlock styles are already sexy, but when you dye them, you’re just going round stealing people’s partners.

The advantage of having long dreads is that there are tons of way to style them, and then you can cut them whenever you feel like. Watch out for people that have long dreads; they’re probably tech bros.

4. Knotted dreads

If African looks are your thing, you should probably explore knotted dreads. They might not be so comfortable when you first try them, but after some time, your scalp will loosen up to accommodate them and it’ll be the best decision you ever made. If you’re feeling frisky, you can throw some dye on there too.

5. Straight dreads
