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.

I begged for it and the good brother TP came THROUGH AGAIN with the pure heat and education!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I can't thank you enough for this enlighten ment on my behalf but the overwhelming contribution this is to the dreaded community and the African American community as a whole! We love you, we love your platform, and most importantly we love how we feel in this conscious safe space. Thank you thank you thank you! Blessings my brotha... 🖤❤️💚✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Blessings to you family! I’m honestly grateful that you’re always so welcoming and encouraging to me with these videos. Comments like these really keep me excited to put content outs! Thank you brotha. Many blessing!
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.
Facts!!! 🔥🔥
Just started my journey 🥰
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 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.
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.
But your video truly will help me inform my family more thank you
It’s a shame. I feel like even years later the influence of outside cultures has overtaken the minds of the people. I’m sorry that you don’t have that support from your family! I truly do hope the video helps! 🙏🏾
@@TPlocks thank you the video sheds a lot of light and will be useful to inform them
You’ve spoke on your liking of the word “Dreadlocks” before and I honestly agree with you. Another dope video💯
I just tried to give a little of history. lol Just a brief one but based on what I’d been shown! People have to do that research! ✊🏾 Thanks fam!
As a freeform and because of my
upbringing as a youth I always felt the need to embrace the term dreadlocks. I appreciate this video so much bro. Raspek✊🏾
I can't get enough of the intro bro
Tie for first?! 👀
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.
Thank you, for the respect you've given me and my journey, it's greatly appreciated TP.. you're full-on a righteously cool dude!
Nothin but love ✌🏻
To be honest with you im From Kenya and even though the uprising brought independence to this day dreadlocks are viewed in a negative way... still planning to start my own journey though all thanks to you
Do you think there's anyway to change that? 😥
coincidence ata mm ni kimani bro..haha...i already started my rasta journey...maumau fi rule once more..snatch our crowns right back brother
@@TPlocks already in the process bruh...youths mental state on a higher level
Teach dem brethren! Peace & Blessing ❤️💛💚
Organic Locs got to! I kept getting the “my locks aren’t dreadful comments” I just posted where to get my merch as well. Soon it will be under my videos! 😁
TP locks so proud of you friend!
Organic Locs pick something out and let me know where I can send it! You’ve supported me from day one! Wouldn’t have made it this far without your encouragement!!
Organic Locs if you don’t see it in my store I’ll get it made for ya!! 🙏🏾
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✊🏾
Comin thru to show love. Keep up the good facts my brotha
Vinny Matthews yes sir! ✊🏾
Great vid you definitely opened my eyes
Thanx for the education. Now i won't feel bad or try to correct myself if i say it
Very informative, thank you
Thanks for explaining that to us brother.
No problem family! ✊🏾
Thank you for this information I did know some but there was some nuggets I didn't know. So I learned something today about dreadlocs that made me want them even more and will wear them proudly.
Thanks for this 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Love the new intro, man... It's 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tomi Joshua thanks fam! Trying to level up
Thank you for sharing this knowledge. Going to start doing some digging myself. Was always told it was negative to call them dreads but this resonates more with my spirit. Loving my DREADlocks. 3 months in 💜
Congrats on staying committed your first 3 months!!! And yes! It’s why I’ve chosen to brand the term in all my merch! We not bout to be ashamed of terms we’ve used to embody strength! ✊🏾
Great content, most UA-camrs don't dive into where dreads originate and their different origins. Glad you took the time to research and share the info. I agree with what you said about the disconnect you guys have in America, you should check out the Rastafarian religion (Jamaica, Marcus Garvey) and maybe do a vid too ✌🏾. Love from the Caribbean 🇱🇨
Yessir I see your dreads growing 💯
Sumn light lol
Thank you for this video, I think I'm going to start calling mine dreadlocks as well. 🙏🏾
Only if it feels right! 🙏🏾 It’s all love either way from me! 😁
Before getting locs I called them dreads or dreadlocks but ive never looked at it as dreadful. Hair is beautiful. Thanks Tp for this video
Me neither. It’s always interesting when people take it that way!! Smh glad you enjoyed fam!
@@TPlocks always 💯💯💯
Same
Right on !!!!! side note hallie selassie was a follower of the way the whole time and Bob Marley became an orthidox follower of YESHUA before he relocated to heaven as well . #ancientafricanchristianity
Hey I'm kikuyu, from Kenya.. 😂 😂 It's just funny how the word uma Uma.. I'm happy you're doing the history of locs
I like the way you say "Mau mau" like you once there🤗😂🤗
It sounds mad American huh?
Great description. You should read “Twisted” by Bert Ashe. He is a professor, and talks about his dread lock journey. He also, goes into a brief history.
I’ll look into it! Should be on amazon right?
I see alot of Americans with dreads claiming they have no tides to Africa and i just cant understand that part.
There are some complex tensions in the diaspora right now.
Thank you
Correct pronunciation:
1:Kikuyu -- KEE-KOO-YOO
2:Uma Uma -- OOMA-OOMA
How i do on the haile selllasie? 😅
You good😂😂
And dreadlock should never be used as negativity, it's sad to use the term dread in that way either way, locs are natural and any beauty can be found in every kind
That’s my view! It’s always positive!
@@TPlocks dreads are indian culture
Thank you.
Noti gang 🤞🏼💚
I feel like this is the first video I’ve ever seen with no dislikes
Great
Sorry for the late response, but I have 4c , really thick and nappy hair , I tried comb coil’s for about almost a month and a half and then I went to get a retwist but it went wrong. Moral of the story I’ve had two strand twist before and they’ve worked for me in the long run without unraveling , I think I’m going for that approach on starter locs. What’s your opinion on starting locs with two strand twists? P.s Sorry for the whole book I just wrote but I LOVE your content and you will be heard by hundred of thousands of people soon enough and you will blow up ❤️❗️.
Two strand twists is a great way to start Locs! A very popular one at that! I’m curious to know what went wrong with the Retwist?
TP locks To keep it short , I went there with a month of comb coil locks trying to get a retwist and left out with my hair just twisted (it looked like a two strand twist out kinda) and the ends were loose it was just a mess. I’m the kind of person that doesn’t know and doesn’t like to be mean to someone whenever they do my hair wrong /know whenever my hair is messed up until after I get back home, so yeah it was crazy🤣
@@jmainesmarts7721 I've been in the same situation as you. Last November I started my first dread journey with comb coils but the loctictian didn't do it right and they unravelled within 2 weeks.
I then took them all out and started my 2 strand twist journey in January and I'm loving them so far!
Zeus 2k_ Congrats , and have they locked for you yet? , and was their a lot of unraveling during that process?
@@jmainesmarts7721 just saw this. Nowhere near as much unravelling with 2 strand as there was with my coils from personal experience.
Yes!
“I Seee Yaaaallll” 😂😂😂😂
My grandfather was actually a mau mau (''Leave Leave'' pronounced backwards in Kikuyu, 'Uma')freedom fighter and he had dreadlocks. Guess who has them now?
BRO I LOVED THIS VIDEO SO I CAME BACK
That’s love! ✊🏾
Good content
Really appreciate this video! I am aware of all that you presented here only because I did my own research for about two months. My journey began one day watching a UA-cam video where a white girl was wearing dreadlocks and I kind of laughed at her because I felt it was culturally inappropriate and would offend black people. As I sat there I suddenly felt impressed that I was asked a question, not in an audible voice or anything, but just a strong impression, "if I asked you to wear them, would you be willing". I was kind of shocked and thought, why would I do that, and the impression was that when asked by anyone, why was I wearing them I would simply respond, 'in anticipation of the Great and Dreadful Day of the Lord! So for two months I started researching every aspect of dreadlocks, from the history of them to the different ways to get them done. And because I live in NW Montana the next challenge was to find anyone who did them professionally. Two months later I finally got them done, no extentions, no fancy anything, just my hair in dreadlocks. I'm 65 and believe me this is a journey of obedience. But I have to admit I love them and wish I had been asked to do this a long time ago. I mean NO disrespect to anyone, ever! This is totally a spiritual journey as it is for many. Shalom❤
🙏🏾💙
Sadly with me having a great grandma who had blood from the middle east I was separated and on my mother side a bit of Jewish I know nothing almost about my cultures I'm mixed with but I know that Israel has a rich history of dreadlocks from what I've read and I read in south Asia and west Asia that uncombed hair where it locks together that is the symbol of rejection of materialism and veinty I've been wanting to learn what they are a symbol in every culture like it's interesting I knew that the Nazarite vow was a spiritual path to be closer to God but I think it's a respectable and natural way for hair in every culture that has it in them like I'm the kind of girl who likes to learn I been also reading on my ancestral roots as much when I can but I really like to learn it's cool
I took my locs down i was almost two months strong and had some budding but the coil method for me wasn’t working they just kept unraveling i kept them tied and did my very best to take care of them.. I’m going to retry again with the twist method... do you have any videos on this method ?
Thank you for sharing our history. They actually started the dreadlocks. I dont know why jamaicans are credited for it.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice ty for this :-0 also The Black Seminoles are in reality Gullah Geechie AFRICANS who escaped from the rice plantations in South Carolina and Georgia. They built their own settlements on the Florida frontier, fought a series of wars to preserve their freedom, and were scattered across North America. They have played a significant role in American history but have never received the recognition they deserve. Slavery ended because the Gullah Revolution could not be stopped.
Kevin Otero just a high level over view I’m in process of doing my full due diligence for sure!! ✊🏾
@@TPlocks O.G 👍🏼💎
I think you just changed my perspective.
Beautiful thing is both perspectives can coexist so long as we give both sides that proper respect! ✊🏾 I love to embracing the strength and power in the word!
Yo this is fuckin fire!! Sorry for the language but wow
Why do the make us cut out dreads for work and etc?
Supposedly because it’s perceived to be unclean and unprofessional.
they are able to control your mind more
Once again I am ashamed to be British, on the flip I am proud of my African roots! Thanks Tp 💕🤟🏾
Never be ashamed of where you come from
Garret Little this country is shit mate that’s what I mean not In A self hating way 😂
@@Malpakot ok I feel you lol
O.G
Thanks for the info...Where did you get that shirt? 🔥🔥🔥

I need that merch🔥🔥🔥 do you ship to South Africa?
International shipping is available! There are a few places they won’t ship to but South Africa is not on the list! 🔥🔥
TP locks I saw that South Africa is on the list, I’ll definitely be copping soon. I’m 3 months locked, I stumbled upon your channel and your advice really helped me out on how I should maintain my locs. Stay blessed brother and keep the fire content coming🙏🏿
Thanks dreadlocks is ours 48000 years my people have a culture we lock our hair with red soil till today
Cool piece of history. Appreciate it. I find myself wondering why conquering and war is so inherent in humans. As we all started in africa. Its where all humans became human and evolved. Then we slowly move and spread out and begin conquering, stealing, raping, enslavng, warring, and all the nasty parts of humanity. All while our bodies are all adjusting to the temperatures and geography of the places we migrated to. Hopefully we can get the answer one day with science. Until then its all speculation. Best of luck out there, there stay safe.
What’s good!
Wuddup fam!
Very informative content. I started my loc journey on 14 July of this year after watching your videos.
Can't find Loc Livin page.
Hey this is kind of a emergency question I got my locks 3 and a half weeks ago they are a little bit above my shoulders and some of my hair was already locked before getting my actual dreads the only parts that aren't really locked are my top and my sides but can I get my hair wet RN even tho it's been 3 and a half weeks
Dr. Finesse when you decide to get it wet will always depend on how you feel your hair will respond. If it’s locking up that quick it sounds like the sections will stay preserved if you put water on it. Also remember water isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s definitely just a matter of the approach some people take. For people who want to preserve a certain manicured look or have concerns with their locks coming out (which is natural early on) they may want to avoid it but I got subscribers that rock those natty dreads and they tell me they be using water almost immediately! Lol if you’re concerned with them coming loose I say don’t wash until you’re In a position to retwist right after! If it’s just a spritz of water here and there that should be fine. Only thing to be aware of is the frizz!!!
@@TPlocks thankyou so much after reading this I'm wetting my head we've had a 110 heat wave all week and I need to feel that I'm fine with the frizz I normally put my dreads up or tie them back anyways I really appreciate the quick response (also, that peppermint oil been saving my life on days like those 🙏)
Dr. Finesse I always try my best to respond family! Never wanna lose that connection! ✊🏾 and bruh that oil is a God send lol
@@TPlocks thanks bruh keep up the growth you going places ✊🏿
What Dye Did You Used
Tbh I made a bunch of mistakes to get here! 😅
TP locks That Color Hard A Girl Had Hers Like A Ginger Type Orange
It started with me dying the entire head. Then I color corrected it dark brown. Except one tip! Then the color faded with time so I decided to dye it black...only the black was too harsh so I stripped the black off and it ended up orange...after that I then recolored it dark brown so it was more natural. I was very happy with that and overtime it’s turned into this!! 😂😂😂 legit the worst story every. It’s called an hombre effect. I feel like a talented Loctician could execute this look without all the trial and error. Lol
I always wonder how do average every day ethiopians feel about Jamaicans moving to shashamne?
Educating myself before I consider locking my hair
Okay let’s get to the facts and not deal with assumptions here or what videos or others say, there is a deeper spiritual significance to our hair. The term Dreadlocks comes from a movement called the guerrillas warriors movement who vowed not to cut their hair Haille Selassie former Emperor of Ethiopia was released from exile from resistance against the Italian invasion. These man’s hair become matted and locked over time thus the term “Dreadlocks” was born. LOCKS are just about style, but for us to them it was a statement. It is also known and has been found that the out hair, the nappy, Afro woolly type hair acts as an antenna to transit and receive energy, frequency and messages if knotted true fact. In short out strength lays in our hair, yet a lot of us black man don’t know that about ourselves. Keeping the individual strong and healthy.
The Mau mau people of Kenya also faced this as formed dreadlocks as a results of white supremacy in their land. And dreadlocks stood as a symbol to go against anything European or white. This was another form of embracing their African roots and African beauty.
Is it true that the word dread came from the English ?.
why u change the title
Thought it made better sense. Didn’t like the long title! What would you title it?
America's history is "black" history, and yes I mean the American Indian history here in America. And the mayans had "dreadlocks." This is why Jamaica has them too. They mimic the ancestors.
Personally, the word Dreadlock to me in my opinion sounds negative. I feel what you’re saying, brother I understand the history. But the word locs sound sound so cool. It rolls off the tongue, so easy but everyone has their opinion and I respect that love your UA-cam channel by the way.
First
It looks like a clooosssse three way tie!!! 👀 My app is so slow! 😂
TP locks lol
I thought locks originated from the idea of trying to be the lion of Judah and it’s like connected to a fake version of Christianity and it’s kind of mimicking it but then got convoluted and connected to other agendas.
SMH
Dig your 3rd world look ,
These kinda whatever you say style is done by Indian Yogis or sadhus from thousands of years
Do you think followers of the yogis look at black and brown individuals with locs in higher regard?
@@TPlocks not at all
@@TPlocks black and brown looked as higher regard by their kindness and knowledge. Nothing else
@@piyushrana8457 I just find it odd that all of these groups that wear locs have very little if any representation of it in modern civilization. The majority of the people I see wearing and cherishing locs in abundance are black.
I’ve also seen believers of these sadhus and yogis still perpetuate very hurtful rhetoric about locs. I also work in corporate America in a tech field filled with northern Indians. There is not a single person from that region that I’ve seen in corporate spaces wearing locs.
As a black man I’m forced to fight that battle and represent the locd culture all on my own. And take all the negative that comes with it. Where are the Indians with locs on corporate America? If we saw it more I’m sure this style that EVERYONE celebrates would be normal by now…
@@TPlocks any hairstyle to adopt by any individual is his own choice. Whether he makes locks or not it's his own choice totally.
