    Hey Guys in this video, I share a brief overview of a little of the history of the true meaning of dreadlocks. Most of us have heard the term dreadlocks derives from one origin story about the white settlers in America calling them dreadlocks because they were perceived to be dreadful. I'm here to tell you, there is much more to the word.
    Big Shout out to the legend @BackPack Beatz for providing the vibes. Y'all be sure to show him some love and subscribe as well.

    Most people called them dreadlocks before they heard that phase "there is nothing dreadful about my hair". Some old heads call them dreads some call them locks. To each their own. No matter which you have they are beautiful enjoy the journey guys.

    I grew up in Jamaica and the stigma with Rastafarianism is 100% there but everyone referred to locs as dreadlocs, nothing negative behind it. Even Bob Marley referred to them as “dreadlocs” ie, “buffalo soldiers, dreadlock rastas.” I didn’t even know the word “dreadlocks” had negative connotations until recently. I’m very happy for this video. I personally like referring to my locs as dreadlocks.

    My old Irish granny called them elflocks and said that it was bad luck to untangle them. She said the fae were giving a blessing.

    I'm kikuyu and the sad thing is most kikuyus nowadays also don't support the culture of having dreadlocks which is kinda sad and makes it hard for my lock journey too. I've just started like 2 weeks ago and it's so hard since my family doesn't support it.

    Honestly, I don't care what people call my hair... I call them freedomlocks, knots and dreadlocks. Some people just call them dreadful bc I'm white, lol.. but that's ok.

    This is a timeless video. 2 years later, as a first generation American born into a Jamaican family, I'm learning these things as I'm pursuing religious accomodation in the Air Force, trying to grow locs. Love your content brother✊🏾
