Natty Dreadlocks

Natty Dreadlocks (synonyms "Natty Dread", "Natty", "Dready" or "Dread") is a Rastafarian term used to describe a member of the Rastafari community. The term is often used in reggae music and elsewhere to represent an idealised personification of the Rastafari movement as a whole. It combines the term "natty", which means knotted (from knotty), a characteristic of the Rastafarian hair style, "dreadlocks".
