Colored Dreadlocks

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/349310514829791795/

Dreadlocks, an old African tradition, are gaining more popularity in America. Many Americans, regardless of ethnic background are trying out locks. Locks are a low maintenance style for natural hair. They can also safely be dyed or bleached, it is easier if you dye your hair before you loc up, but you can still dye your hair when it is in locks. If you are worried about dying your locs weakening your hair, you can always try faux locs. American men and women have, most recently, broken race barriers that were associated with this style, and in the modern day, everyone can enjoy the pleasures of this style. The wonderful thing about locs is that they can be done yourself at home (thank the Lord for the era of internet and DIY).
