Dreadlocks are one of the few hairstyles that look equally good on black men as they do on women. The hairstyle choice of the free-spirited rasta, nothing quite says Bohemian like dreadlocks.

Custom Dreadlock Styling
No matter where you draw your inspiration, our dreadlocks styling can create that all-important style you can call your own. Our stylists can create faux locs, colored dreadlocks, knotted dreadlocks, mohawk dreadlocks, twist locs, combine your dreadlocks with an undercut, create a dreadlock halo, or updo, and style short dreadlocks and knotted dreadlocks, in addition to doing taper dreadlocks among many others.​
For men, curly dreadlocks are a great way to pay homage to the past with a modern, fully textured style. Braided dreadlocks are a great-looking solution for black men with long hair. Combining short undercuts with overhanging dreadlocks provides a more refined, cleaner look for men. From incorporating different dreadlock rows to creating iconic mohawk designs, the only limits to what our stylists can achieve are your imagination.
​
Black women often choose freeform dreadlocks because of the subtle way they hang on their foreheads – helping to draw attention to their eyes. For others, it’s the half-up do dreadlocks because of the hairstyle’s natural ability to draw attention to a beautiful woman’s facial features. Yet, some black women like to add color to their dreadlocks by either coloring them entirely or adding accents and highlights.
​
Ultimately, the choice is always yours. While we at The Natural Hair Spa in Philadelphia believe strongly in personalized styles, you are more than welcome to get inspiration from the many designs you’ll see at our spa. It’s not uncommon for our Philadelphia customers to come in with one dreadlock design or style in mind only to choose another.
Dreadlock Braid Repair & Restoration
As a well-established microlock salon in Philadelphia, we know exactly how to do dreadlock braid repair and restoration. For those Philadelphia customers who choose to go freeform by letting their dreadlocks grow, we can keep that length while still maintaining a clean appearance by trimming undergrowth and areas around the ears and neck.
​
We also perform braid repair for those individuals whose active lifestyles sometimes result in thinned edges or for those Pennsylvania customers who may not have been able to properly take care of their braids. Regardless of the hair damage or splitting, our braid repair can restore your dreadlocks.
Does it Hurt to Get Dreadlocks?
Getting dreadlocks should never be a painful experience. If it is, then it’s most likely not being done properly. Feeling some initial tension during the braiding process is natural, but extended pain is not. Improperly installed dreadlocks can cause pain and lead to hair damage. However, the professionals at The Natural Hair Spa in Philadelphia have extensive experience with dreadlocks styling. Communication will be key throughout the process and if you experience any discomfort, our experienced stylists will immediately react.
If you’ve been thinking about getting dreadlocks but have been somewhat intimidated by the process, don’t despair. Our team will answer any questions you may have and put your mind at ease.
