This is the hairstyle that i have designed to coincide with the dance move that crosses Reggae and Hip-Hop genre styles, The dreadlocks are a signature part of not only Reggae music but Jamaican culture in general and and the image of the swaying locks while dancing encapsulate the easy going care free nature of the pioneers of Reggae such as Bob Marley and Robbie Shakespeare. The second component is the two bunches of dreads at the top, this comes from one of the most iconic hairstyles of the golden era of hip hip (late 80's early 90's) which was that of Busta Rhymes who is considered one of the best lyricists ever to live, this hairstyles merges perfectly with the dreadlocks as his original style was mostly shaved around the back and sides with some loose, messy dreads that he would bring up into one or two bunches (below).
