Natty Dreadlocks (synonyms "Natty Dread", "Natty", "Dready" or "Dread") is a Rastafari term for a member of the Rastafari community. The image of such a man 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 (as in "natural") and a style of dreadlocks which have formed naturally without cutting, combing or brushing.
