Bob Marley's Dreadlocks

Though dreadlocks are usually associated with the Rastafarian movement, the twisted coils of hair have been worn by ethnic groups around the world. But no one is as synonymous with dreads as reggae icon Bob Marley. Born in Jamaica, Marley created soulful songs that spread reggae all over the globe. What was a lifestyle choice and an act of rebellion for Marley became a fashion statement for others, as the look was adopted by reggae and counterculture fans alike.
