Afro hair: Creating natural dreadlocks for men

Afro hair - Creation of natural dreadlocks for men

Alexandre is a young man who works as a bartender at 5-star campsites and resorts. He wanted a trendy hairstyle in keeping with the luxury world in which he evolves.

Alexandre's hair analysis before creating natural dreads

Alexandre has Afro hair with a high density and has been letting his hair grow for several years with the aim of wearing natural dreadlocks. Having reached a good length, we met and I analyzed the quality of his hair and his physiognomy. We needed a result that wouldn't stand out in the luxury world of her work. I thought about it and proposed a personalized creation.

I then imagined creating round-tipped dreadlocks, as this type of hair is the most aesthetically pleasing. Especially since their texture allowed for perfect hold.

Tips for creating natural dreadlocks

First of all, we need to analyze whether the customer's request is in line with his or her hair type. Each hair type has different possibilities. Then I can give the best advice and explain my proposals.

It's important to understand that hair, particularly Afro hair, will "shorten", so natural dreadlocks will be shorter than imagined. In some places, hair can shorten by almost 70%!

For Alexandre, delighted with the result, we opted for a headband of dreadlocks so he could lead them backwards. Practical and stylish for bartending!
