He has sported different patterns of Afro-textured hair, including dreads, braids, twists, cornrows, locks, short hairstyles, ponytails, blowout Afro, and small to medium-sized traditional locs.

The article discusses the different hairstyles that NBA player Ja Morant has worn throughout his career. Other NBA players with similar dreads include Jimmy Butler and Dwight Howard.

To maintain his short dreads, Morant oils his scalp, moisturizes his hair regularly, and has it re-braided every 2-3 weeks. The article mentions the importance of keeping the locs clean, incorporating new growth, and avoiding tight re-twisting to prevent hair loss. It suggests using gel or twisting cream to twist the new growth into the locs and recommends re-twisting every 6 to 8 weeks. The comb coil method is also mentioned as an alternative way to start locs.

Additionally, the article describes different styles that can be achieved with locs, such as wearing them free with a middle part, doing a braid-out, or creating barrel twists. It suggests watching a video tutorial for guidance on barrel twisting.

Ja Morant’s short dreads can be maintained as the hair grows, but for a short-term alternative, faux locs are mentioned, which typically last up to two months. Salon services are available to achieve Morant’s hairstyle, with the cost varying depending on the method chosen and maintenance required every 6-8 weeks.
