Our Afro Curly Hair Courses cover hair topics like these in detail.

Here are 7 reasons you should consider making dreadlocks your next hairstyle:

They are simply ’COOL’

We have never met anyone who does not love dreadlocks. We think that they are seriously cool, and that’s the number one reason you should make it your next hairstyle. If you’re looking to switch up your personal style, this is the one for you!

Challenge conventional beauty standards

You have probably been told time and time again that you are not the conventional beauty standard. Western media tells us the beauty standard is; sleek-blonde females and clean-cut males. However, with diversity & inclusion – the world has evolved to a point where people of African descent are challenging these beauty standards. And what better way to do so than by dawning dreadlocks? Well maintained and tidy, or messy and wild; your choice. Create your own beauty standard.

Up your confidence level

You can increase your confidence level by wearing your hair in dreadlocks. If you struggle with low self-esteem and want to take a big step towards getting to a place where you don’t care what others think, dreadlocks might be it. Your dreadlocks will be a great way to bask in the beauty and uniqueness of your luscious black hair, a great way of saying to yourself & the whole world that “you are enough”.

Minimal care

Some of us have a love/hate relationship with our hair, especially when it comes to brushing, cleaning or styling. If you fall into this category, you should definitely try dreadlocks. With dreadlocks, your washing routine gets cut in half. You never have to worry about detangling or brushing for as long as you have the dreadlocks installed. So go ahead, ditch the brush and get some dreadlocks in. Not that you won’t ever have to deal with maintenance again, but it’s going to be much easier.

Suitable for all genders

If you are going for an au naturale look, dreadlocks are as natural as they get. They are done with your hair and nothing else. One other great thing is that this hairstyle is in no way restricted to a certain ethnic group or gender. They look great on everyone!

You get to save money

Because dreadlocks are low maintenance, you only have to visit the salon for retwists (to avoid matting) once in a while. You get to save a lot of money, money that otherwise would have spent on perms, extensions or short fades.

Versatility

Wear them in a ponytail or wear them down. Be mellow and natural, or be ultra chic and professional with your dreadlocks put up in a bun. Dreadlocks can be versatile, and there are so many options for styling!

Convinced yet?

You’re here! With all the points we have highlighted above, TACHC believes you are closer to taking a decision to wear your hair in dreadlocks. While dreadlocks are a long-term hairstyle, they are in no way permanent. If you try them and don’t like them, you can easily take them out. No problem at all.

So come aboard the dreadlock train! There is room for everyone.
