Dreadlocks (sp) Educate Me Please

Originally posted by Chewbacca: First, Dreadlocks predate Rastafari, which is a relatively new religion ( it began in the last 100 years) Dreads are a result of hair's natural state when it is not combed or brushed. "White" people may have a myriad of reasons to grow dreadlocks. Some of these reasons could be fashion, religion, or convience.

I am sure that the hair"style" can be dated back to the days of cavemen lol.
Perhaps I should have been more specific in that first statement as in "I understand the Rastafarian origin of the hair style's modern day popularity in western culture." It just seemed like a mouthful at the time.

Thanks for your input towards my better understanding of dreads. [img]smile.gif[/img]
