Para os rastas, os cabelos estilo dreadlock (que significa tranças horrendas) significam uma atitude de rebeldia ao padrão estipulado pelo sistema ocidental que diz que os cabelos devem estar bem arrumados e cortados. Os dreads se formam naturalmente em cabelos africanos quando se para de pentear. Há controvérsia no que diz respeito à origem dos locks. Enquanto uns dizem que o cabelo estilo Medusa veio da Ìndia, outros dizem que a identificação foi feita aos soldados da parte oriental da África, os Mau-Mau do Kenya.
Eu acho os dreads fascinantes e se eu tivesse cabelo africano, eu definitivamente adotaria o estilo. Durante os eventos dos quais participei, tirei muitos fotos dos cabelos que vi, principalmente quando as palestras eram em patois, pois eu não entendi nada mesmo, então passava meu tempo fotografando os cabelos.

The most outstanding characteristic of Rastas is definitely their dreadlocked hair. In the small survey I took at UFC, I interviewed 155 people in order to find out what they knew about rastafarainism. 59 answered that it was a hair style.
For Rastas, dreadlocked hair signifies an attittude of rebellion to the pattern imposed by the western system which says that hair must not be unkempt. Dreads form naturally in African hair if you stop combing it. There is controversy about the origin of locks. While some say that the Medusa-like hair came from East Indians, others say that the identification was made to the soldiers in East Africa, the Mau-Mau soldiers from Kenya.
I personally think dreads are fascinating and if I had African hair, they would definitely be locked. During the eventos I took place in, I took a lot of photos of the hair I saw, especially when the talks were in patois - I couldn't understand them anyway, so I spent my time taking pictures.
