Hairstyle Ideas For Synthetic Dreads!

You know what hairstyle looks amazing with low to minimal effort?

Synthetic Dreadlocks!

There’s nothing like the feeling of waking up with your hair already looking cute. Synthetic dreadlocks give you that magic—low-maintenance, minimal fuss, but still so on point. It’s the kind of hairstyle where you can literally roll out of bed, glance in the mirror, and say, 

“Yep, I’m ready to face the day.” 

But… we know you’ve probably asked yourself, "Can I actually style these in different ways? Or am I stuck with the same look every day?"

You are so not!  

Actually….. synthetic dreads give you so much styling freedom, it’s like having an endless hair playground. Whether you’re feeling like wrapping them up, going all out with a glam bun, or just keeping things chill with a ponytail, the options are endless—and all super easy to pull off. 

Let’s dive into some fun styles, and I promise by the end, you’ll have a whole new bag of tricks up your sleeve!

The best part? You don’t need to be a hairstylist to pull off most of these looks. With just a few tools—some jumbo scrunchies, wraps, or a handful of colorful beads—you can transform your dreadlocks into a fresh new style that reflects your mood or the occasion!

The French Braid: Classy And Chic

Picture this: your best friend is tying the knot, and as one of her bridesmaids, you need a hairstyle that’s both timeless and chic. This look is the perfect blend of elegance and style, making sure you stand out while complementing the magic of the big day!

To do it: you start by grabbing a section of hair at the top of your head and splitting it into three pieces. As you braid, you just keep adding more hair from the sides into each section, working your way down. It’s the perfect go-to for keeping your hair out of your face while still looking stylish! It works great as a work hairstyle, a running errands hairstyle and is perfect for keeping your dreads together in the pool or at the beach! 

The High Pony Tail: For That Effortless Flirty Vibe 

It’s Friday night, you’ve got a date lined up, and you want to look cute without spending an hour in front of the mirror…..

The high ponytail! There’s something about pulling your dreads into a sleek or messy high pony that just screams effortlessly flirty. It’s a classic look, but with synthetic dreadlocks, it’s elevated to a whole new level.

Now, here’s the trick. Toss your dreads up, secure them with one of our custom-made satin jumbo scrunchies (because who doesn’t love a little satin moment?), and boom—you’re good to go. If you’re really feeling fancy, you can wrap a few dreads around the base to give that extra polished look, or leave a few loose strands out to soften the vibe.

And before you head out, a quick pump of Crown Nectar will have your dreads shining and smelling incredible. Trust me, your date will notice!

Messy Bun: Because Some Days, Life Happens

We’ve all been there—one of those mornings where your alarm didn’t go off, or you snoozed it a little too many times, and now you’re left scrambling. This is where the messy bun comes in saving the day! It’s the perfect, “I’m a little late, but I still look cute” hairstyle. 

Pssst.. Wanna know a little secret? with synthetic dreads, a messy bun just looks SO MUCH better than the regular version. It has texture, volume, and it gives off that carefree, relaxed energy we all crave on busy days.

Here’s how you do it: gather your dreads up into a loose bun on top of your head, don’t worry about it being too perfect (that’s the charm!), and secure it with a scrunchie. The more dreads sticking out, the better. It’s a style that says, “I’m casual, but I still have my life together.”

Space Buns: When You’re Feeling Playful

Thank GOD it’s friday!

You’re meeting up with friends, or you’ve got a fun event, and you just want to do something a little different. Space buns are where it’s at. They’re cute, playful, and kind of give you that playful vibe, even if you’re just grabbing brunch.

Here’s how to do it: pull your hair up like you’re making a ponytail, but stop halfway to create a loop. Then wrap the ponytail around again to keep that looped bun shape. 

It’s the perfect “look at me, I’m cute and I know it!” hairstyle that’s sure to get compliments all day long.

Half-Up, Half-Down: The Best of Both Worlds

Now, let’s talk about the half-up, half-down style. This one is for those days when you want your dreads out of your face but still want to show off their gorgeous length.

You can do it by pulling the top half of your dreads back and securing them with one of our jumbo scrunchies. Or, you can keep it messy and casual with a few loose strands hanging around your face. Either way, it’s a style that works for literally any occasion—work, date night, girls’ night out, you name it.

Plus, the low-maintenance side of this style? Unmatched. You’ll still have the fun of styling your dreads, but with less hair to deal with overall. 

Whether you're running errands or just lounging around at home, wrapping your dreads up in a colorful scarf is one of the easiest, yet chicest styles you can rock. It’s perfect for those “I don’t want to deal with my hair today” days, but it still looks like you put in some effort.

It’s also a great hairstyle if you work in a place that has strict hygiene restrictions! 

Find a scarf you love, wrap it around your dreads, and you’re good to go. You can play around with different scarf styles—tie it in a bow, let the ends hang loose, or even tuck it under for a more polished look! 

Your dreads have been in forever, and yeah... it’s about that time for a refresh. But honestly, it feels like you just don’t have the spare time for an uninstall with everything going on…..

Grab a headband, and there you go! it hides those “been in a while” vibes and tames the frizz in seconds. No one will suspect a thing (shhh!). You can pick these up pretty much anywhere and find colors that match your dreads and your style.

And just like that, you’ve bought yourself a little more time before the big uninstall!

Ready to take your style even further? With the right accessories—like our jumbo scrunchies and stunning braid accents—you’ll never find yourself standing in front of the mirror wondering what to do next!

Can you imagine adding a pop of emerald or a hint of wine accents in your dreads? a simple ponytail would transform into a statement!

Whether it's for brunch, a cozy day in, or just wanting to switch things up, these little touches make every look uniquely you. And of course, a few pumps of Crown Nectar smooths and adds that perfect shine, bringing everything together for a fresh, effortless finish.

Who wouldn’t want a good hair day….. everyday?
