Dreadlocks

A hairstyle originating in Africa, done by tightly twisting the hair until the strands lock together.

The name "Dreadlocks" originated on European slave-ships during the middle passage.

The white crews would bring the enslaved Africans up on deck to wash them off. They saw that the thick Hair of the Africans, full of vomit, blood, and shit, had matted into "dreadful locks".

It is therefore offensive and incorrect to refer to the dolltails worn by ignorant white children as Dreadlocks.
White child: "Hey man, what do you think of my Dreadlocks?"

"I think they're very useful as a visual indicator of your ignorance. I will now avoid you forever."

natty dreadlocks

a term for medium length to long hair that is messy and needs to be combed, taken from the Black Uhuru lyrics, "Guess who's coming to dinner, Natty Dreadlocks."
Natty dreadlocks are not real dreadlocks, just knotted hair that could form into real dreadlocks if no action is taken to smooth out the tangles.

Bob Marley and the Wailers' 1974 album "Natty Dread" and title song, "Natty Dread" refer to Natty Dreadlocks as a person who is a member of the Rastafari religion, which is the original meaning of the term, as well as the hairstyle worn by Rastafarians. However, since then, natty dreadlocks has taken on the more mainstream usage, usually applied to kids, referring to tangled hair on anyone, not necessarily Rastafarian.
You need to brush out those natty dreadlocks before grandma comes over this afternoon.
Are you seriously going to your school picture day with those natty dreadlocks?
