take the dreads fron the sides roll them towards the back wrapping dreads around from the back as u go till u have 2 twisted thingies on either side towards the back pulling em all into them, then just tie em off in the back

For my prom I went out and got a bunch of little silver rings and put like 8 or 9 (2 or 3 for your length) per dread, just spaced em out all kinds of crazy, and then I thru on a little headband (like the one in the pic with you fishing) and rocked out!! or just wrapping them in multi-toned embroidery thread that matches your suit and her dress, and then just pulling them back. Or just pony tail it and try to find something nifty to stick in at the hair tie, like a small twig with a leaf or bud on it, or something like a charm from a craft store, or even tie in a glass rose that matches you both in color.
