i just wana say that Rastafarian ppl hate to be called with the words -ism such as Rastafarianism, dats all, peace
That's too bad, I'm afraid. If you're a Rastafarian then you subscribe to Rastafarianism, simple as.
I think i agree with toke on this,
peace!
can i say that the hairstyle is fn awesome!!!!!!!!!!! there's my new style! salute jah rastafari!
Actually, interesting fact, if you were to call the hairstyle "DREADlocks", "true" Rastafarians would actually be offended. The term "dreadlocks" came from slave times when the slave owners would describe the hair as "dreadfully ugly", thus the term
"dreadlock" came about. Apparently the political correction would be "locks".
The righteous path of Rastafari is not an ism or schism. "Fighting against ism and skism" - Bob Marley(One Drop)
Rastafari say that they reject "-isms". They see a wide range of "isms and schisms" in modern society and want no part in them, for example communism and capitalism. They especially reject the word Rastafarianism, because they see themselves as having transcended "isms and schisms". This has created some conflict between Rastas and some members of the academic community studying the Rastafari phenomenon, who insist on calling this religious faith Rastafarianism, in spite of the disapproval this generates within the Rastafari movement. Nevertheless, the practice continues among scholars. However, the study of Rasta using its own terms has occurred.
Oh, gosh I love dreads they make guys look so carefree and uninhibited it's really sexy. Do you guys remember when Billie Joe had a dread? (at least I think it was a dread) he looked even more sexy
this site is about the hair style itself. not to argue about who would get offended over a word. creat your own blog for that.
What! That's not even a picture of a rasta with dreads...just some dude with curls wtf!!! No more "isms' and "skisms"...JAH RASTAFARI!
dread locks are wonderful...but to be a rasta u do not only need to keep yr hair in locks, u also need to keep yrself purified. People can make locks hairstyle but to us it is more than that....peace
#1 No white rastas exist
#2 Dreads have been around since the cave man
#3 They do trace back to cultures in the African and Australian outback, not 1953 Kenya. That is when Rasta started.
#4 Its just as an absurd religion as christianity.
#5 its congregation, Rastafari, are vegetarian and dont cut their hair, oh and Ganja is a sacramental thing, like praying.
#6 Haille Selasie is their "Savior".
hmmm. what about bob marley's statement that we don't belong to no black man's side or white man's side, we belong to god's side (or something like that).
if i am not totally stupid from that statement rastafari can be anybody.
I'm confused as to why you say "no white rastas exist", simply not true! You don't have to be black to be a Rasta.
What a silly post to put on a hair website
rock and roll...thats all people
it's rastafai not rastafarianism that's like saying christianitysim....
and yea there are white rastas.
it's not about race man, it's about truth.
peace&respect
tis true there is both black and white rastafari's,,but good ole mr harvey (one of the highest influential persons of the rastafari movement) preached a lot about going back to your roots, a reference to africans who were brought to the americas during the slave trade of christopher columbus time period... you hear a lot of the "back to your roots" talk in rasta music. an seeing how not to many whites were brought to the americas from africa to be sold as slaves,,,not many whites are in fact rasta's. of course there is more to rastafari than just this and there are white rasta's but the number or white rastas is minimal on a scale compared to all rastafari's
Also waring locks pon your head was durived from Biblical time period, John the baptist took the nazerite vow to never comb or cut his hair. he indeed wore locks pon his head, as did mighty strong samson, the Bible clearly states samson had 7 locks pon his head. There are many reasons for rasta's wearing locks.
Aw man I really want locks like this.
I am white, I am rastafri
you just need to find peace and love with your brothers and sisters man. i have dreads down to my knees and i love them more than my retirement fund. JAH MON!
nuff real rasta dont have dreads. rasta nah need fi lock him head to be rasta. rasta is love , understanding, ital food and no hatred fi any man. jah bless all conscious dread AND baldhead!!!
i have no idea wat any of you are talkin about and this website is to show hairstyles if you have a comment email the freakin website gosh! dont complain on this little comment box dang. and if you already see what you are about to write already written please don't post it again. i am tired of reading the same comment 50 times.
one individual touched on the truth regarding the origin and significance of this "hairstyle"... it does indeed originate in the Naasir... the Nazarite vow, which can be found in your Christian Bibles in the book of Numbers, verse six. The Hebrew people, Black, Brown, Red, Yellow & White... are the originators of your so called "Dreadlocks". As are we the originators of all things beneath our almighty creator. Yes, indeed we did begin in the north eastern part of what is today called Africa... look how far we have fallen! Know yourselves and be free from all that binds you!
