A hairstyle which arranges dreadlocks in such a fashion that they conceal a receeding hairline, or baldness, usually accomplished by sweeping the locs from one side of head to the other (much like a comb-over). Where comb-overs are often held in place by applying copious amounts of hairspray, mousse and other hair products, dread-overs are generally held in place by using bandannas, dewrags, headbands and other devices that hold hair in place.
