Dreadlock
A kind of hairstyle · also called Loc, Dread, Dread lock
About
A single dreadlock is a dense, rope-like strand of hair measuring over a foot long.
Locs vary widely in thickness, from pencil-thin micro-locs to freeform sections several inches wide. Because hair naturally grows roughly half an inch each month, a strand this long takes around two to three years to form. A single loc is very light, but a full head of long hair can add several pounds of total weight.
From Wikipedia
Dreadlocks, also known as dreads or locs, are a hairstyle made of rope-like strands of hair. Locs can form naturally in very curly or kinky hair, or they can be created with techniques like twisting, backcombing, or crochet.
