Dreadlock hairstyle

I'd do it like this:

1. Create a spline in the shape of the lock that you want.
2. Under the "Rendering" rollout in the spline's modifier stack, check Renerable, Generate Mapping Coords, and Display Render Mesh.
3. Play with the Thickness and Sides rollers untill you get the thickness you want.
5. Convert the spline to an Editable poly mesh
6. Check Subdivision Displacement under the "Subdivision Displacement" rollout of the meshes modifier stack.
4. In the material editor, create a material and add a noise map to the displacement channel.
5. Apply it to the hair lock object.
6. Play with the noise parameters until you get the look that you want.

Hope that helped,
