If you are familiar with our blog or have been to Keepers of the Krown, you've probably noticed that we use the term locks instead of dreadlocks. Growing up, my mom always appreciated the beauty of locked hair but hated the term dreadlocks. To her, the term was too closely associated to the word dreadful. To my mom, this didn't seem like a word we, black people, would come up with to describe our own hair. However, the term dreadlocks has entered into our collective memory and is the term used most in conversation. So, we will be using both terms on the blog to make things clear to everyone (I can only imagine how many locksmiths I've bummed out by using the term locks).
