The professional field has drastically changed when it comes to how you present yourself in the workplace. Fortunately, things are taking a turn for the better for those of us who have eclectic style. This has allowed us the ability to not only come as we are but express ourselves freely through our style.

There are some jobs that are more relaxed than others, but styles like dreadlocks are becoming more common in the workplace. Despite becoming more widely accepted, there are still some haters on the loose that don't understand the essence you must have to maintain locs. So what do we suggest? Make them understand.

Take a look at some of the best work-friendly dreadlocks styles that you can acheive.

Fancy Pony

For a neat polished look, a pulled back pony is a classic go-to style. The easiest thing is to pull your dreads back into a ponytail. The power of the ponytail is that it shows your face and gives you a clean, fresh look. You can jazz up a simple pony by twisting up the front into the ponytail or creating a pompadour. Add a classy touch by wrapping a bit of your hair around the base of the ponytail. Don't forget to slay those edges!

Loc Mohawk or Fauxhawk

This style is great because it adds personality to your hair. Not only is it fly, it's also great for any length your locs are. You can twist or pin your locs around the middle of your head or create a swirl design. Roll the hanging hair or leave as is to show off your hang time! This edgy look is a great way to showcase your locs while adding a touch of rebellion to your hairstyle.

Loc Crown or Halo

There's nothing wrong with reminding yourself and others how special you are. Achieve  this look by creating a loc crown. To do this, arrange/twist your locs in a circular pattern around  the crown of your head, securing them with pins and accessories to create a halo effect. This style is regal and super easy to achieve. Not only is this loc style  perfect for weddings, festivals, or any occasion where you want to make a statement, its a perfect style to get you through the work week.

Twisted Bun

Next up in our work-friendly loc hairstyles is the twisted bun. Achieve this look by flat twisting your locs in the front into rows, then pull up at the top of the hair for a bun. For added flavor, twist the individual locs first before twisting into the bun. If you’re running short on time, just do a regular wrap around bun instead.

Waves and Curls

Looking for something a bit more head-turning? Try curling your locs to spice it up a bit. You have a few options with this. One is by getting the hair damp, and then braiding to the scalp into cornrows. The longer you leave them in, the tighter the wave will be. Don’t want to walk around with braids? No problem! Perm rods will work in your hair just like they do for anyone else. The same goes for flexirods.
