Get Dreadlocks

Dreadlocks have been around much longer than you may think. In fact they’ve been around well over 2000 years. There earliest written documentation of dreadlocks comes from the Vedic scriptures, where a god named “Shiva” wears “twisted locks of hair.” Some say the date of this writing is 2500 BC, but there are others who dispute that the document is from closer to 500 BC. Either way the dreadlock phenomenon is over 2500 years old.

There are many reasons throughout history why dreadlocks have been worn. And dozens of cultures throughout the world, and throughout history, have donned these locks. The rationalities range from religious and political beliefs to mere fashion and ease of use.
