7 Ways to Style Your Wool Dreads

Merino wool dreads are more than a hairstyle - they are a creative expression of your style. Whether you like experimenting with different looks or want something easy to manage, these wool dreadlocks have it all. Here are 7 amazing ways to style your wool dreadlocks, all of which will save you time and give you a confident, stand-out look.

1. The classic ponytail

Gather all your dreadlocks on the top of your head and secure them with a decorative rubber band. This simple style gives a polished, chic look amazing for work or casual wear.

2. Half-up, half-down

Take the top part of the dreadlocks and pull them into a loose bun or ponytail, leaving the rest free. This is a great way to frame your face while keeping some of the wool dreads away from your face.

3. Messy Top Bun

For a chic, loose look, gather your dreadlocks into a high bun at the top of your head. Let some dreadlocks fall loosely for a perfectly messy effect.

4. Fishtail braid dreads

Make a fishtail braid from the top of the head. Elegant and perfect for formal occasions.

5. Side braid

Sweep all your dreads over one shoulder and create a simple side braid for a romantic, soft look. This style is both relaxed and stylish.

6. Space buns

Divide your dreads into two sections and twist them into two high buns for a playful, edgy look. Perfect for festivals or fun days out!

7. Low braided pigtails

Split your dreads into two sections and braid each side into a loose, low pigtail. It’s a cute, youthful style that’s also functional.

The beauty of merino wool dreads lies in their softness, comfort, and skin-friendly nature. Perfect for sensitive scalps, they’re lightweight, breathable, and never itchy. Plus, they’re low-maintenance—ideal for busy mornings or preparing for special events. With endless styling options, merino wool dreads let you look and feel amazing no matter the occasion!

She found that using single-ended dreads (SE) along the hairline and sensitive areas makes it gentle and comfortable, while double-ended dreads (DE) fill in the rest for a fuller effect.
