Dreadlocks

Dreadlocks, Dreads short (of dread English = fear) or Filzlocken strands are matted hair of the head.

They can develop under certain circumstances even if the hair for a longer time period is not combed, cut or shaved is that entanglement is, however, usually brought about by artificial means.

Dreadlocks can occur in different shapes, thicknesses and lengths. There are also completely man-made dreadlocks of wool, as the so-called "Silky dreads" are known.

Some Dreadlock-makers (known as Dread-Heads decorate) their hair with various additional jewelry such as beads made of wood, metal or polymer clay or other materials.

Dreadlocks are in Europe and the U.S. usually worn as a fashionable hairstyle. In some cultures, such as the Rastafari, but they can also have religious or spiritual backgrounds.

The terms dreadlocks, Rastafarians or Rastas are often used synonymously with dreadlocks, but can also other hairstyles, such as braided or call Braids Cornrows. The term "part" Rasta "refers here to followers of the Rastafarian culture. Less frequently the term is used Afrolocken since it can easily be confused with the Afro.

In the English language, especially among the Rastafari, the expression of Natty Dreadlocks (is less commonly Knotty dreadlocks) common.

Nut Dreadlock

A single twisted, knotted mat of hair protruding from the side of a woman's head obtained when the man she has just finished giving oral sex to has ejaculated into her scalp then quickly rubbed it in with his hands (in the hand-warming motion of rubbing them together quickly).

If performed correctly, the result is permanent and can only be removed by cutting off the entire Dreadlock with scissors. It may or may not be kept as a trophy by the man.
"Yo, remember that bitch that shot me down at the Senior Prom, back in the day?"

"Yeah, she's still pretty hot these days. And she's still a bitch, yo."

"Yo, I saw her at the bar last night, got her drunk, took her home and gave that bitch a Nut Dreadlock! I got it hangin' from my rearview mirror, yo!"
