The Mau Mau rebels in Africa were really the first to blow it up with the dreds..

it didnt originate anywhere dreads happens becuase when you grow your hair long it tangles into itself nd locks together. look up the history of it poeple all over the ancient world had hair like that.

the rastas in particular took the idea from indian mystics. rastafari are newcomers when it comes to the cuture of locked hair overall

I've got them.

Started growing out my hair because my friends made fun of my head. Just kept going with it. Afro -> braids -> twisties -> dreads. Haven't cut my hair in 10 years.

I'm graduating college and there isn't much diversity in the economics field so I'm aware they might have to go soon. It kind of makes me feel like a sellout but I can do more for the folks with a job than with some hair on my head.

That's pretty awesome that you've maintained it for 10 years.
Something that's been with you that long...do you think you'll be emotional about it when you have to cut them?

Thread got potential, I'ma be the sponsor
On the first page just in case it turns awesome
LOL.
I don't think any of my threads do too well.
Maybe if I made it a thread about men with dreadlocks that women found attractive, it'd go like 20 pages.

But that's a bit too homo
:whoa:

:wtf:What in the hell is both of yall talking about.

Rastafari adopted the Nazirite vow from the book of Leviticus. Which states one is not to take a razor to his head. Its a form of santification from 'Babylon' as to disregard outward appearance, leaving the hair to its own devices.
