Dreadlocks or "dreads" is a style that involves coiling, tangling or "locking" the hair together. They are recognizably symbolic of Jamaican culture and certain religious beliefs, and some say this style even dates back as far as early Egypt.
Method
"How to dreadlock hair" is a commonly asked question. This style can be created naturally (by not brushing/combing or cutting the hair for long periods of time), or chemically by a professional (one method involves teasing, twisting and banding the hair with pipe cleaners).
Benefits
Dreadlocks are a really noticeable style that will certainly give your image a boost. When styled correctly they can look very sexy and appealing. Also, when dreads are natural they are very low maintenance.
Beware
Dreadlocks cannot be combed out and can only be cut off. Also, maintaining dreadlocks is very important. Chemical dreadlocks can require a lot of daily maintenance, and natural free-flowing dreadlocks may not be appropriate for some occupations.
Tip
This hairstyle is definitely one you should try on first (using TheHairStyler.com's virtual hairstyler) before committing to it.
