#12: Jumbo Bun with Twist Braids
Taking the hippie aesthetic to a whole new level, these thick dreads with twist braids stray far from natural hair. There’s space to experiment with patterns, colors, and thickness. The yarn locs crochet braids are getting more and more popular these days.

#13: Surfer Twist Braids
At times, a full-on bun can seem a little too formal. Why not try something in the middle instead? Thicker braids with highlights and beads look effortlessly sophisticated in simple downdos. Wrap a side section around the rest of the locs and pin it down!

#14: Heavy Yarn Wraps
Yarn dreads are not always thin and sleek. Rather they can have a strikingly different look. These wraps are medium in thickness, long and layered. The khaki color gives off some seriously grungy vibes. Ideal for younger, more experimental ladies.

#15: Dread Weave
Of course, the reason many African-American women choose this hairstyle is because it can be protective. Something you can do for hair growth is as simple as let your hair grow, while you are wearing a fun hairstyle with dreads or locs you really like.

#16: Easy Top Knot
How much yarn do you need for your locs? It depends on how long you want them to be. Normally you can complete your head with 1-2 packs of yarn which is great if you want to save money. Yarn loc styles are easy and diverse, while they do really look cool. Take this giant bun for instance.

#17: Gray Yarn Locs Bob
Why try to stop time? Aging ladies may wear classic gray locs and still look utterly fantastic. Yarn dreadlocks don’t have to be long — short and layered dreads can take on the shape of the bob and be low-maintenance.
