Symbolism is literary

There doesn't have to be nor is there symbolism for everything, though some hairstyles do send messages, but they are more obvious than symbolism.



"Dread"locks can symbolize many things. Dreadlocks' origin lies with Rastafarians. THey often just allowed their hair to grow without combing or brushing over a long period of time, and the hair "locked" upon itself and remained in whatever shape it grows from the scalp in. Many people have looked at them and called them dreadful because they were not uniformed like loose braids, and looked dirty. But there are many ways to lock hair that are much more hygenically pleasing and easier to care for than that.

For some, locking hair may be a symbol of strength or identifying with culture. It may be a statement for someone, like shaving the head bald. Locks can be a sign of confidence and a sign of covering. Some people wear them for a trend or because they have reached a certain age. Some wear locks because they are low maintenance and grow rapidly. There is no one right way to wear them, and no one right reason.


they do not originate with rastafarianism, with respect rastas have furthured dread culture but they originated thousands of years before jah

dreads originated with mans origons

so at the basic core dreads symbolize a natural mystic a person who embraces the natural state of being
