There are also no rules to "how to make a dread bun" you can play around with your dreads and invent your own style as long as your dreads are long enough to form a bun. Or you can just watch youtube videos and see how other dreadhead make dread buns and get inspired.
Dread bun Style one:
I have seen many dreadheads doing it this way
- First put your dreads in a high ponytail using an elastic headband, this will allow you to gather them all into a single bunch.
- Then twist your dreads from roots to ends while forming a cercle around the headband.
- Secure your bun by tucking the tips of your dreads under the headband
Dread bun Style two:
This is the easiest one to do, just get your dreads only half way through the headband, it will automatically form a bun, you will still have your dreads down a little bit but that way they will be less annoying and they can not reach your face.
Dread bun Style three:
This one works only for very long dreads, and will need some practice, it is similar to dread bun in style one but without using a headband. twist your dreads form a cercle and secure just by tucking each dread under the bun you are forming. It may not look very secured but I have seen people doing it without any headbands and it doesn't fall off.
