Dis forDraw

Drawing is a way of putting a picture you have in your head (or something you can see) onto a piece of paper, using your hands and a pen or pencil.

Dreadlocks are like ropes growing in your hair. They form when your hair matts together. Dreadlocks will form on their own if you never comb your hair, but most people encourage dreadlocks to form. Dreadlocks form more easily in people with tightly curled hair.
