15. City Braids for Both
Check Out This CC These city braids are an awesome look for Sims looking to walk in style while living the downtown life. Coming in both a straight and curled look, these dreads have it all. And they’re made for both male and female Sims. The curly dreadlock is a bit more vibrant, I think, and really standouts with the golden locks.
14. Dreads Ponytail
Check Out This CC Want to look like the boss lady? The one in charge? Then this dreaded ponytail is the definition of all business. A perfectly sleeked back ponytail filled with clean interlocking dreads. Truly an elegant look for any bossed-up women looking to make some big moves in the workplace. Protip: I would avoid making any Sims angry if they’re sporting this look.
13. Sahara Dreads
Check Out This CC Dreadlocks tend to have accessories to help enhance the styles of the hair-do. And creator SintikliaSims provides a long dreadlock look with this CC, featuring beads at the bottom part of the hairstyle. This style uses bold colors including golden blonde and jet black, among 42 possibilities. This CC also features an option to remove the accessory, if you want your Sim to stick to the all-natural look.
12. Rasta Bun
Check Out This CC Fierce and fashionable. Those are the words that come to my mind with this Rasta bun. Shortly cut at the shoulders, the rest of the hairstyle is wrapped into a traditional Rasta bun paying homage to the classic Jamaican hairstyle correctly. Whether you’re listening to Buffalo Soldier or walking a runway, this hair-do is a perfect addition to different Sims of many different backgrounds.
11. Braid Bun
Check Out This CC Here’s another elegant look with some boss-lady mantra in this braid bun. Really just a top bun with braids falling behind it. I’d say this look seems like it fits a true entrepreneur. A no-nonsense, “don’t mess with me” attitude would fit perfectly with this hairstyle.
