dreads are not appearance gmku, they are a lifestyle. Its not like a mohawk or a cheesy tony danza haircut, you hair is permanently growing in clumps and locks.. it takes a lot of spiritual effort to live with them. While not EVERY dread is spiritual about, in Rastafari is a deep aspect of our spirituality. It is almost a tangible reflection of our spirituality, its not about appearance but simply living it. In fact, I rarely SHOWED my dreads to anyone, I like the Bobo Ashanati dreadlock brothers kept my shit ALWAYS in turban, because it is taboo in nazarite dread culture to let your dreads be seen by people in the first place!
