From Temples to Turntables: A Short History of Dreadlocks Dreadlocks are as old as civilization itself. • 3 000 BCE – Saharan tribes twist their hair into locks, symbolising desert wisdom and warrior status. • 1 800 BCE – Hindu sadhus in India wear “jata,” coils of matted hair that renounce vanity and honour the god Shiva. • 500 BCE – Ethiopian Coptic priests lock their hair as a sacred vow, a tradition still seen today. • 15th c. CE – Aztec high priests let their hair mat “until it could not be separated,” staining it with sacrificial blood. • 1930-50 s – Jamaican youths, inspired by Ethiopian resistance fighters and Indian indentured labourers, adopt the style as a banner of Black pride and spiritual rebellion. They call it “dreadlocks”—hair so “dreadful” to colonial eyes that it becomes a badge of honour. • 1970 s-present – Reggae pulses through global speakers; Bob Marley’s lion-mane locks turn the hairstyle into an international emblem of freedom, resistance and roots. Today locks are worn on runways, in mosh-pits, in boardrooms and on prayer mats—still carrying that ancient signal: I belong to something older than your rules.
