Dreadlocks have become a popular trend for those who want to wear their hair in a natural state. Often, the hair style has been misunderstood by those who do not wear natural hair styles. The dreadlock profile has come to be associated with criminal behavior or the practice of unkempt hygiene. This is a stereotype that has made it tough for those with dreadlocks to move in social circles without judgment. Human hair will naturally begin to dread when it is left uncombed. For those with straighter hair, this process may take a much longer time, though eventually, it happens.
