I bought this for when I get dreadlocks in a few days, so I haven't tried it with dreadlocks yet, but, I can tell that it'll work perfectly, it's good quality, nice size and beautifully made, I find it tricky to buy beanies because I find that there always off shape, too thin or too baggy, but this one is absolutely perfect! Thick but not too thick, great shape and not too baggy but will be plenty room for dreads. Definitely be buying more beanies from dreadz soon!
