Partial dreadlocks can add a softer, more feminine look than full locs. Another benefit to having half dreads is that if you want to look professional - dreadlocks can be hidden under a headband so only your normal hair is exposed. That way you can have locs and still work in conservative workplaces. That Way, That Look, Hair Dos

Another way to mix up dreadlock hairstyles is by having bleached or dyed dreadlocks. Have your hair coloured before I loc it or alternatively, you can color dreads after they are made. In this photo my client had bleached hair and decided to colour the lower half of her dreads. You can also have a half and half style, with your normal hair colour and then bleaching the lengths or even just the dread tips to give blonde or ashy highlights.

Boho or bohemian locs is a hairstyle in line with the boho-chic fashion that draws on bohemian and hippie influences. Initially, my client had me put in partial dreads underneath a retained fringe. As she refined the look she was after we added dreadlock extensions in a colour slightly off her natural one, then added some dreadlock wraps and adornments to complete the look.
