However, if you can't get it to work, don't fret on it.

A question, could you post a picture of your dreadlocks and your face, so we can see what it looks like?

Kay. Give me some time

How could it not be? I'd say this forum is pretty open-minded and I think that a lot of the alternatives that are on here would relate well to dreads. (I used to consider getting dreads.. but that's a whole different story, lol)

LOL Thank you.

Awww, sweetheart, you look really cute in that outfit! (Aren't face-masks fun?) Actually, that kind of style doesn't look bad with your hair, though I can imagine it'd be hard to go really all-out decora or to do something very different with it.

I think you could do almost any style you wanted! Possibly the trick might be, rather than trying to mess with the hair itself, trying instead to make it interesting by accessorising it with unusual little trinkets that matched your style on the day. That would be easier, and just as effective.

Your dreads probably have the advantage of being quite easy to fix things like corsages in-- I'd recommend trying to make intriguing contrasts of texture and/or colour between your hair and the things you wear in it, and balancing them in a pleasing manner, rather than looking to overwhelm it.

Sadly I don't honestly think the million-clips look would work, now I can see what your hair looks like. It could all too easily become an imbalance of texture, too-small pieces of contrast amongst the detailed texture of the dreads. Perhaps a medium-sized mini top hat or some such would look nice? Not a really little one, but still the kind of size that would fit on a tie-on ribbon or a few clips. Or perhaps a cute pastel-coloured rose corsage? There's masses of things like that on eBay, especially if you're willing to decorate plain bases.

Would you be interested in the kinds of aristo or Victorian looks that might suit you overall?
