Dreadlocks and locs Gallery

Dreadlocks, commonly referred to as "locs" or simply "dreads," are a hairstyle where natural hair is intentionally matted and knotted to form long, rope-like strands. This style has historical and cultural significance in various communities, including African, Caribbean, and Rastafarian cultures. Dreadlocks can be created through various methods, such as the neglect method (allowing hair to naturally lock over time) or the use of techniques like twisting, braiding, or backcombing.The resulting dreads can be of different sizes and lengths, depending on personal preference and maintenance practices. Dreadlocks are often associated with a free-spirited, natural aesthetic and have been embraced by people from diverse backgrounds for their unique and expressive qualities. Regular care and maintenance are essential to keep dreadlocks healthy and well-defined.
