years. Dreadlocks have been embraced by virtually every culture and religious belief.

In today's society, locs are misunderstood. They are often thought of as dirty, low-class, representing homelessness, drug use, or a desire to be part of another culture. However, the truth is that locs were often the sign of royalty and holiness throughout history. They predate the Jamaican / Rastafarian culture they are most often associated with today by thousands of years. locs were worn by kings and pharaohs, prophets, holy men, gurus, and philosophers since the earliest known times.

Freeform dreadlocks vs. twisted dreadlocks

Freeform dreadlocks vs. twisted dreadlocks


Locks are unique, as well as distinguished when it comes to talking about their history. Numerous cultures have various reasons as to why they choose to wear a crown of locks. Here is a picture of manicured/twisted dreadlocks.

Basically you get the new growth of the hair twisted or tighten to make it look nice and neat, but twisting it does not make the hair lock, it locks on its on naturally.
Freeform/Natural dreadlocks are just dreadlocks that you don't manipulate.  You just wash and let your hair do what it naturally do.  There is no twisting, no combing, no gels, no oils, beeswax, or butters.  Your hair will natural form dreadlocks on its own if you have patience and let it. Twisted dreadlocks or manicured is the complete opposite of freeform dreadlocks.

Lenny Kravitz and Bob Marley had some of the most legendary freeform/natural dreadlocks.
