Kylie Jenner reveals reason behind dreadlocks

Kylie Jenner reveals the reason behind her surprise new dreadlock hairstyle - a rebel-themed photo shoot in the desert.

The 17-year-old model was pictured on Thursday walking through the sand in a flowing white dress and with her grungy hair style tied back. 

Just a day later she posted a photograph to her Instagram account revealing her new 'do' to her fans.

The edgy shoot saw Kylie perched on the back of a battered SUV at sunset alongside a group of other young models, many also wearing dreads.

On Friday night, the reality star showed two views of her matted hairstyle in the dark photo apparently taken in a kitchen, while wearing a tight camisole.

'Dreads,' she wrote in the caption to her more than 17 million followers on Instagram.

Last week Kylie shared a photo of herself in a bouffant blonde wig for her appearance in the February issue of Love magazine.

She looked a bit like an anime character with her big brown eyes, heavy eyeliner and plumped pout covered in reddish-black lipstick.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star last month also treated her Instagram followers to her all-natural look with slightly tousled hair and minimal make-up.

It's not surprising that Kylie would be adventurous with her hairstyle as the teen has a hair extension business called Kylie Hair Kouture By Bellami.

Kylie and her older sister Kendall, 19, also have a new Valentine's Day collection available from their PacSun fashion line.

Their momager Kris Jenner posted a sneak peek on Wednesday of their new advert for the campaign.

Kylie also confirmed on Wednesday that she and Kendall have launched a Topshop clothing line.

The collection was designed by the sisters and will be stocked exclusively at selected Topshop stores and available online.

Kylie's paternal grandmother Esther Jenner confirmed on Wednesday that Kylie and Kendall's dad Bruce Jenner was undergoing the transition to become a woman.
