Ty Dolla Sign’s Dreadlocks
American singer and rapper artist Ty Dolla Sign regularly wears his hair styled in either dreadlocks or braids, and we reckon it’s because these 2 styles are super easy to manage.
Over the years, his long ‘locs have become part of his signature look, and we don’t blame him – when you find a style this good, why change it?
The Weeknd’s High Top Dreadlocks
Canadian singer The Weeknd used to style his dreadlocks into a neat, angular-shaped high top, that quickly became his signature ‘do. Which is why it came as even more of a shock to his fans, when he switch up his go-to look!
A few months back, the star seriously shook things up when he chopped off this dreadlocks (sobs!) and started working a cropped look, instead!
Richard Sherman’s Long Dreadlocks
Are you an aspiring athlete, but afraid that your dreadlocks will hinder of your performance? Well, fret not: because American football player Richard Sherman is living proof that ultra-long dreads don’t get in the way of playing sports.
Seen rocking his well-groomed hair both on and off the pitch, note how Richard’s dreadlocks are much thinner than The Weeknd’s, giving a sleeker finish to his look!
Wiz Khalifa’s Dreadlocks
Rapper Wiz Khalifa‘s dreadlocks are pretty unique, thanks to their ombre hair colour. At the roots, his hair is his natural dark brown hue, which then transforms into a light, golden brown colour until the ends.
Now, this isn’t the first time Wiz has experimented with dyeing his mane: he’s tried dark and blonde hair colours in the past, showing us all that ‘locs are just as versatile in the colouring department, too!
Jaden Smith’s Ponytail Dreadlocks
If you want to take your dreads to the next level, then opt for some stylish men’s hair accessories (like metallic hair cuffs), to decorate your mane.
Here, Jaden Smith makes a case for blonde side-swept dreadlocks.

What we like about Fetty Wap’s curly dreadlocks is the fact they prove that men’s dreadlocks don’t all have to look the same.
