There's a story behind the dreadlocks hairstyle in contemporary hairdressing industry. We attempt to see where it all started.
Dreadlocks otherwise known as locs, are ropelike strands of hair formed by matting or braiding the hair. Ancient appearance of dreadlocks is from over 2000 years ago.
Some dreadlocks comes as far back as 3600 years to the Minoan Civilization, centred in Crete
Every culture has various reasons for wearing Locs: some as an expression of deep religious or spiritual convictions, ethnic pride, as a political statement and in more modern times, as a representation of a free, alternative or natural spirit.
With dreadlocks style in vogue, the fashion and beauty industries capitalized on the trend. A completely new line of hair care products and services in salons have cashed in on this contemp, offering all sorts of dreadlocks hair care items such as wax, shampoo, and jewelry. Hairstylists created a wide variety of modified locks, which involves multi-colored synthetic lock hair extensions and "dread perms", using chemicals to treat the hair.
Before to create dreadlocks in non afro-textured hair, an individual had to go without brushing, combing or cutting. This lack of hair grooming results in what is called "free form" or "neglect" dreads, where the hair matts together slowly of its own accord.

A variety of other starter methods have been developed to offer greater control over the general appearance of dreadlocks. They can be formed through a technique called "twist and rip", as well as backcombing and rolling. Together, these alternative techniques are more commonly referred to as "salon" or "manicured" dreadlocks.
