dreadlocks - plural noun
a hairstyle in which the hair hangs in long thick twisted lengths

The hairstyle now crosses almost every form of music, gracing the heads of artists from ex-Rage Against the Machine political punk-rapper Zack De La Rocha to neo-folkie Ani DiFranco, and into the worlds of sports (tennis's James Blake or soccer's David Beckham) and movies (Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean ).
Bob Marley is where it all stems from; it's in every subculture, from folk to punk, metal, hip-hop.
Probably no other hairstyle spans that many genres. From criminal lawyers to musicians to nurses.
