There doesn't have to be nor is there symbolism for everything, though some hairstyles do send messages, but they are more obvious than symbolism.
"Dread"locks can symbolize many things. Dreadlocks' origin lies with Rastafarians. THey often just allowed their hair to grow without combing or brushing over a long period of time, and the hair "locked" upon itself and remained in whatever shape it grows from the scalp in. Many people have looked at them and called them dreadful because they were not uniformed like loose braids, and looked dirty. But there are many ways to lock hair that are much more hygenically pleasing and easier to care for than that.
For some, locking hair may be a symbol of strength or identifying with culture. It may be a statement for someone, like shaving the head bald. Locks can be a sign of confidence and a sign of covering. Some people wear them for a trend or because they have reached a certain age. Some wear locks because they are low maintenance and grow rapidly. There is no one right way to wear them, and no one right reason.
they do not originate with rastafarianism, with respect rastas have furthured dread culture but they originated thousands of years before jah
dreads originated with mans origons
so at the basic core dreads symbolize a natural mystic a person who embraces the natural state of being
micro braids are better in many ways. with micro braids, you can actually style them as you want but with kinky twist you can't really do anything with them but put them in a ponytail. So i would pick micro braids over kinky twists

No, dreadlocks are not wrong. However, acceptance towards different cultures and styles differs greatly from country to country, and even within parts of countries. For example, people in a rural small town in the United States would be less exposed to the many beautiful cultures and styles around the globe and might be somewhat shocked if they saw someone with dreadlocks.
dreadlocks are beautiful and lifechanging
many call dreading a dreadlock journey because of the life changing effects dreading can cause

Yes, vinegar makes your hair very silky. I never tried it before, because my hair doesn't need. but I read about it. Put some vinegar on your hair while showering, then rince your hair. It makes it smooth and shiny!Yes, fake dreadlocks exist. You can get dreadlock extensions at some salons that attach to your hair. They are not permanent, and are not cheap.
Also, what some would consider to be "fake" dreadlocks, is getting a dread-perm at a salon. The hair is knotted using chemicals and perm roller things. Not only is this expensive, but it has to be re-done every few months, and your hair isn't really dreaded. Dread-permed hair will not mature and lock up like it will with other natural methods.
