[Cassandra]

Ok. I’ve decided to post on this subject because I have this night done alot of research on the subject of dredas. I am really interested in doing it and I always like to be thoroughly informed when making any life decisions. Alot of what I have read here is factually incorrect. 1. Dreadlocks did not originate in rastafarian culture, nor Jamaica. They originate in Kimet, Africa, and were worn mainly by priests and holy men there. They were worn mostly by Indians (like from India) until the early 20th centrury, also by the preists and holy people. Their God Shiva wore dreadlocks that contained the River Ganges in their mythology. 2. Samson, from the bible wore seven locks in his hair, and that is what Delilah cut off, diminishing his power. John the Baptist also wore them, and Jesus himself was depicted with long hair. Early christians also wore them. 3. The Rastas are a completely different issue. Their reasons were also spiritual. They were against anything from Babylon, including alcohol, cigarettes, red meat, alcohol, etc. Also including the Babylonian standards of beauty and vanity. The main thing here is dreadlocks have intense spiritual implications that have definetly been ignored in our fashionable culture. It is not a hairstyle, it is a spiritual commitment, and you should consider that when deciding whether to lock or not.
