\"Curls<\/p>\n

\u2018Keep calm and be curly.\u2019 – author unknown<\/em><\/p>\n

Curls are light, girly, pretty and always in season. The Soft Dread<\/a> is one of the most popular hairpieces of the 2000s, because of its pretty spirals and versatile style.<\/p>\n

Darling\u2019s upgraded this old favourite by making it less shiny, softer and more natural-looking. Now you can crochet in your hair, make it into a wig or even a drawstring pony. There are so many different ways to style Soft Dreadlocks<\/a>; here is a list of our favourites.<\/p>\n

Crochet<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Crocheting has revolutionised the hair industry. This method tends to be less expensive and easier to achieve as opposed to installations. Plus crocheting makes any hairstyle look way more natural. All you need to get started is a crochet needle and your fave hairpiece.<\/p>\n

1. Soft Dreadlocks Updo<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Installation by crocheting offers a world of possibilities. It means you can tie it up and open a parting almost anywhere on your hair.<\/p>\n

You can also style your hair into a messy, stylish updo. Ensure that you consult a professional stylist for best results.<\/p>\n

Once you get your desired look, give the hairstyle a personal touch with an Ankara headscarf. Match it up with a choker and hit the road.<\/p>\n

If you want a smoother finish, go for our Soft Dred<\/a> Naturals from our Naturals Collection. All you need to do is crochet them in. Then, instead of unravelling them into curls, leave them as they are.<\/p>\n
