Hello N!.E!. Pats Fan,

Well, Jayman is wrong!. Dreadlocks aren't created by not washing your hair!. They're created by not combing your hear!. In fact most people with dreadlocks wash their hair all the time!.

I'm not sure what the history is of dreadlocks, but the rastafarian idea behind it is the main part of it!. Supposedly, the first known dreadlocks were in ancient Egypt!. There's a nice wikipedia web site on dreadlocks here!.

Enjoy your further research!.

Dreadlocks have been around since the dawn of time!. The first known examples of dreadlocks date back to ancient dynastic Egypt!.

Dreadlocks have been a part of the history of every spiritual system!. From Christianity to Hinduism, locked hair has been been a symbol of a highly spiritual person who is trying to come closer to God(s)!.

Originally, dreadlocks were the mark of spiritual status, Dogon Priest and Kemetic Spiritual Master Naba Lamoussa Morodenibig of The Earth Center explained in an interview!. Priests of diverse Deities were required, at least for a specific period of time, to have dreadlocks!.

It is known that many Pharaohs had locked hair, and on Tutankhamen's mummy, dreadlocks can still be found intact!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
