Emulating Hindu and Nazarite holymen, these "Dreads" grew matted locks of hair, which would become known to the world as "Dreadlocks" - the hair-style of the Dreads. I quoted : The followers of this movement called themselves "Dreads," signifying that they had a dread, fear, or respect for God. It is therefore offensive and incorrect to refer to the dolltails worn by ignorant white children as Dreadlocks. They saw that the thick Hair of the Africans, full of vomit, blood, and shit, had matted into "dreadful locks". The white crews would bring the enslaved Africans up on deck to wash them off. My friend quoted urban dictionary: The name "Dreadlocks" originated on European slave-ships during the middle passage. My friend said without a link: dreadlocks were originally called that because they were meant to inspire fear in the heart of the white oppressor In a discussion my friends made several claims about the origins. I am white and locked my hair with the freeform method before unknotting them to backcomb them. Although it is understandable why it is easy to feel cultural ownership of that look, it has been. What is the origin of the term "dreadlocks" in African American liberation and Rastafari? The history of dreadlocks is not purely African American. I acknowledge that several cultures may have had dreadlocks in some form or another before Rastafari.
I'm not necessarily a "historian" by any means.
