As salaamu alaikum,

I’m in no position to give a fatwa on this, but I would suggest that as long as they don’t involve fades or any sort of undercut designs then there shouldn’t be a problem.

Also take into consideration that we should avoid imitating the kuffar, so your niya behind the style should be taken into account, one that is ultimately between you and Allah SWT.

Also be sure to obstain from tying the hair back during the salah. I found references to a few hadiths concerning this, but I’ve been trying my best to only refer to material that I can access myself as well - there a few hadith like this one
Hadith - Book of Call to Prayers (Adhaan) - Sahih al-Bukhari - Sunnah.com - Sayings and Teachings of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم) That address the matter.

Make sure that you are able to reach the scalp when washing your hair during ghusl as well.

At best, you can always just leave certain matters that bring about such doubt altogether.

Allah knows best.

Much appreciated, breh. Thank you for the wisdom

No problem. This is all accessible information if you go through the proper channels. If you’re interested, there are some PDFs I’ve been checking out recently that may lead you in the right direction.

As others have pointed out it is not haram. The hadith also stipulates that many disciples wore their hair in tight coils and paletted hairstyles. This is mostly consistently with hairstyle trends we see in Yemen and east Africa.

Deadlocks are merely an extension of that. The only haram element is anything that resembles female attire. Keep it clean and if you must tight at the bottom when performing labour tasks and so on.

Dreads part enough for scalp cleanliness.
