Interview with Jerome Sage Butler (Grandmaster Sage), reasoning on the topic, "DREAD LOCKS".
Numbers 6:5
“All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.”
Song of Solomon 4:1
“Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.”
Song of Solomon 4:3
“Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.”
Song of Solomon 5:2
“I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.”
Song of Solomon 5:11
“His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.”
Isaiah 47:2
“Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.”
Judges 16:19
“And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.”

I will never cut my hair again, I will never conform to the babylon system. If it is harder for me to get a job thats fine. The Most High will guide my path in the natural way like my hair.
EarthDweller I agree 100 percent. Most high bless
Dreadlocks are a crown even though most people see it as style which is fine. I had no problem getting a job and that's when nobody knew dreadlocks.
You can’t wear a crown with your head held down ❤️
Yes i Giovanni my brother!!! Nuff respect!!!
I've worked for huge multinational corporations and professional service firms. Discrimination against dreads is not accepted. I'm a melanin deficient guy in senior management and will protect anyone's right to expression. Not to say some individuals will not try to make an issue of it, but that should be brought to HR/management's attention. My experience with folks with dreads is they are generally having much more active mind / enthusiasm.
"...an extension of my being but isn't the complete nature of my being..." I needed to hear that. Thanks.
I was scrolling through comments and read this message as he spoke it.
He’s so right about how your locs will shape themselves based on your frequency! I didn’t choose my locs my locs chose me!
facts!
Tianacat, in film harry potter wand chooses user, ignore what h p is
So true
Mine formed into the shape of hearts and if that isn't a sign that the universe loves me and that I am just a formation of love I don't know what is. Peace be with you
@@carolinebearden6989 I'd like to see that
I'm not gonna lie, being white with locs, whenever I see a video like this, I always imagine that I will be told to cut them that I'm treating something inconsiderable, or ruining something. Glad to hear that your perspective, gives me hope that I will have a sense of connection, and harmony with the world around, JAH BLESS!!
Jah bless
A lot of the videos I've seen talking about locs pretty much dismiss the idea that "only black people can have them"... both from a cultural perspective, historic, sometimes spiritual, but usually just because "if you have hair, you can grow locs, they happen naturally".
Thank you as I write in tears. I'm a Hispanic women light skinned with dreads. Since a child always wanted to have them on me. People LOOK at me and say what have she done to beautiful curly hair. Well that was my culture who still don't understand me. I'm very spiritual my hair feels good filled with great energy. I have suppressed to long. Being someone inside not matching my outside. I'm true to myself and my taino ancestors who had matte hair. It's spiritual not fashionable to me. My spirit is happy and my soul. Don't care if the looks anymore. I am love kind and don't judge. I feel this weight lifted from the words that you have spoken. Thank you 🙏
Good for you Monica. You are who YOU ARE. And the outside world will eventually see that u are pure and, when not, then it is THEIR (whoever it may be) OWN (negative/unpure) CONFRONTATION going on inside of themselves.💕
His locs are dope 😱
I commented this before I watched the video...his HAIR is dope. 💯
“Who am I, a judge or something?” I love that. One love
I remember relocating to America from JA and how the blacks looked down on me because of my dreads. Now they're all growing dreads, how times have changed
Facts
The day I cut my locks was the worst day in my life, I spent years regretting this choice, now I feel light and at peace with myself because my hair is growing now, thank you nature and thank you also the creator who had brought me into the world
Sometimes they say locs can hold onto negativity. It’s good to start fresh sometimes it can represent a rebirth
This comment is me exactly instead of wasting years regretting that decision I made in 2020 I spent 2021 gaining more knowledge and wisdom on the importance of hair and I just started my second set of locs again and I vow never to cut them again
I am a white female who fell into a severe depression and whose hair locked up as a result of a lack of grooming. I was harassed and physically threatened by individuals in the black community because of my hair, and it got so bad that I had to shave my head for my physical safety. Thank you for posting this video, hopefully with enough information given to the public about the ways of nature, more people will understand the origin of locs.
I a black person approve of locs on other ppl even tho my approval is not needed, sorry you had to experience that. Peace n love
I don’t wanna accuse you of Karen level anxiety but nobody was gonna harm you got having matted hair, verbal attacks sure. But you didn’t HAVE to shave your head for your physical safety...you chose to because you didn’t want to deal with bullies.
@@Southforthewinter You weren't in my shoes, nor do you understand the situation I was put in. The hostility of those who refuse to understand the ways of the universe is astounding, so much so that I have a hard time coming to terms living in a world where people can harbor so much hatred. Your input was unnecessary. You don't have the right to speak for someone else's experience in this world. Peace be with you, and stay in your lane.
Caroline Bearden no it’s your Karen level anxiety that’s hurting you
@@smokecrack5964 good one
Beautiful.🙏🏻 I ve had dread locks for over 30 years now.... Stopped counting times when people asked me "how do you do them". My answer is "they happen".
My dreads are my roots, my history, my strength , but also my dedications and the weights I carry.
No fashion, no pretending.
We are One and connected. BLESS 🤗🔥❤️
that reply is something I feel. I recently cut off my twisted locs to begin freeforms and I feel disconnected once again. i need my defense again
@@3L3KTR0NG3N it is funny that you be called "child", and people call me "mom'sy" 😂😂👍😜
I checked out your work , keep grooving my friend 🤜🏻🔥💫🤛🏿
@@RealEyezzz thats love. preciate the words!!
I have locs one I'm attracted to men with locs I look at them as Kings with lion crowns so I locd I'm 8 months. It's been a very mind-blowing journey need patience, expect unexpected, and be you. Something I struggled with.
Much respect empress
I cut my locks before because I had no conviction in it, but now I let it grow because it was God who gave them to me
I've always loved locs so much and I've always saw them as a crown or a mane to me people with locs have always looked like beautiful warriors of nature and love they give off strong beautiful vibes and I've always wanted locs and I always worried about people being angry with me for doing it but I realized true spiritualists would be happy for me, I loc my hair because I wanted to stop fighting my hair, it wants to be matted, I want to be closer to nature, I want to pick up on vibrations better, I am a survivor, I am a warrior, i am patient and forgiving, I see that the world is so broken, I know that I am wise beyond my years but I still hold my innocence, im free and I refuse to conform to babylon, I am dedicated and I love everyone I meet, I love mother nature and I thank her everyday for what she does for us, since the very first time I saw someone with locs I've always felt in my heart that this is what locs symbolize and so much more.. I've noticed that the universe has been speaking to me all the time now since I started my locs.. I feel more beautiful with them than I ever did without them. I cry as I write this.
U should do whatever makes u happy and forget what people say or think bout what makes u happy people will always have something to say be happy and enjoy ur life
it's beautiful ❤ everything is energy. Il used to have locs but i cut them because of what People around me were saying back then.
you're comment is powerful, you really gave me strength
@@manoutraore3788 thank you, I'm sorry people got to you enough for you to change yourself, it's not a good feeling I hope better has come to you.
Blessed be
@@younge252 thank you very much, bless you
@@marilynm7806 thank you for your message ! I really appreciate you
god bless you
I'm researching dreadlocks because I'm thinking of getting them soon, and boi oh boi did I dive deep.
Locs are a natural, not *necessarily* a hairstyle. It’s not necessarily a tradition, or come from anyone, it’s just the default form of all hair if you let go of vanity. No white man is copying a black tradition unless he feels that way in his heart, why even care if it makes him happy and it’s the hurting anyone man, spread love.
I normally do not comment on videos... Thank you Seala Media for this post! When I was about to graduate from grad school I began to let my hair freeform and lock how it wanted to. My mother (a Christian Jamaican btw) told me that I would not get a job or advance to a Ph.D program wearing my hair that way. So I combed my locks out and straightened my hair for a interview with a doctorate program. I didn't get a spot in the program and felt so lost because I conformed to what my mother thought I should look like in order to be accepted. Well now I have started my locks again but I was getting regular maintenance. Lately I've been thinking that I hate it but I thought that I needed to get them twisted regularly to look nice when I go to work. However, I do not feel the connection I once felt when my hair was just doing it's thing. I want to be able to do my job and let my hair be without the judgment. Maybe I should just stop caring about what others think and whatever happens will be how the most high/universe or my higher self wants it to be. Thank you again.
Everybody does with his hair what he wants whe need to respect this!
why do i feel so much good vibes when he is speaking?
it's the background music
he is beautiful his soul is beautiful his hair is beautiful
Love this. Appreciation.
So beautiful ♥️
i grew my dreadlocks so my IQ can go up .. and it did really help !! i felt natural , free , and my knowledge game went up sky high !! I'm glad i had a chance to grew my locks .. Big up to all the Rasta .. y'all influence me to reach up for the higher power in life .. Much Respect lion !!!
Lovely how you dont enforce anything. I like the idea of my locks being an expansion to my true self helping me to raise more awareness for myself and others around me. Fyi I'm white my locks are roughly 9 years old. Thank you for your kind words.
I feel like a king with locs
the animals maybe see the locs and instincts would kick in, they think it's a Lion.. Raaah, King indeed!!!!
Oh, look a caveman... And it's talking to me.
My heart has been telling me to lock my hair for fifteen years and I've resisted. Thanks to you I feel braver, stronger, and more knowledgeable. I should have listened to my soul years ago and let my hair lock. Now, I plan to, finally. Love and light to you, sir.
Hair is an expression of individuality. Do not judge. Personally, I love the look
From u know ur self and u embrace ur natural self ur locks will grow to ur personality of ur natural self ur locks will grow to ur energy sum will grow slim sum will grown in between Sum will grow thick and bongo like its all about ur energy u give off will
Manifest into how ur locks grow naturally blessed love king
@iam318Ben
I’ve had my dreads for about a year and I’m loving them! I feel myself changing . Like becoming more aware of what’s going on, my mannerisms have changed to a more calmness, and my attitude has even changed. Plan on keep them through college but after that I’m not sure . Only time will tell
Everyone used to wear dreadlocks before we fell away from nature.
Vaughan Giose wow that is not true at all. They were present in just about every culture throughout history but not “everyone” wore locks
I was invited to interview for a harbor police position, but I turned it down because I refuse to cut my locz!
itsParadise a tough price but I see where u coming from you shouldn’t be needed to cut hair for a job why should u alter ur personal life makes no sense
I grew my locs a few years ago and I had them for 2 years. I always heard ppl saying “ew why you grow you hair out” so much I cut them. I am now making my return to retrieve my crown, I had my last haircut in May I’m never going back.
Don't let people narrate your narrative if you see beauty in it, it's beautiful. One love 👊🏾
Nathan Flowers that’s a fact God, peace 🙏🏽
My brother me and my cousins had dreadlocks and our grand mother said dreadlocks are for slaves and that we never used to be slaves. And we cutted but now she low that we do it I'm grown man 35 year old with children we listened to her and now she a low and told us that ANCIENS had the same hair and now all my cousins doing dreadlocks. Me my self I have my freeform dreads my daughter in this picture her hair has turned to dreadlocks
My story is similar. All the power to you brother
when he opened his mouth it made him even more handsome
"Original man and woman" ... It just feels right to me. 9 year-long locks here. Thanks for so much wisdom, king.
My last haircut was 11/2/2018 mannnnnn i have not done nothing to my hair but wash it my beard included my look is starting to grow on me i havent even got a shape up ppl i kno look at me and tell me all the time " you need a hair cut" my response is always its my hair its who i am you choose to look at me and they always say you right but the end up asking what do i put in my hair and i just tell them nothing my body is just doing what is needed
i had dreads and my dad cut them off because of his social views i still dont forgive him and its been a month since he cut them they were like part of my personality
FUEGOCXH forgive don’t forget
yeah, or just shut the fuck up.
HAHAHA WITH OUT YOUR DADS SEED YOU WOULD NOT BE . BEST RESPECT YOUR FATHER .
The great thing about hair is that it usually grows back, I've had dreads for 30 years, my Mom hates it but I am an adult and there is nothing she can do about it, be patient, one day you will be your own man and you can do what you want.
WarriorZ ToyZ wtf is wrong with you
My brother, nuff respect. Hear me now. I'm Jamaican, born and bred. Though my upbringing did not take place in JA (migrated to U.S. at an early age), my Jamaican roots reach deep, deep, down into the African, the Arawak and finally God's eternal soul which was made accessible to us through YESHUA, Lord and Savior. Many of your words and experiences resonate quite squarely with mine but there are some that don't which I believe are important enough to address because of my perceived mission here in this realm. I believe I couldn't pass up the opportunity to speak these words with you without shirking my responsibility.
First I'd like to say this about the Arawaks whom I believe God uses to communicate with me: Jamaica is located on the Equator in the heart of the Earth which was just one, solid, land mass at its birth (in your mind, push all the land masses of the Earth together and see where Jamaica falls). For this reason, the indigenous people there will be dark skinned. The texture of their hair, their height and weight will also be affected by this relentless sun and continuous rainfall. Ever wonder why Arawaks named it Xaymaca, "Land of wood and water"? Could it be because it was where the vital elements of life (wood represents the material and water represents the spiritual) originated and proliferated? These words had to be said here as I've read much of what many have spoken about the Arawaks/Tainos and never hear these facts mentioned.
As for our disagreement: About 22years ago, I, like you,came to Christ. Appx. 3months after I was baptized, I locked up my hair. Why? God spoke clearly to me telling me that I was to be as natural as I was made to be. Since I was a professional at the time, I did my hair neatly non-freeform, what I like to call "cultured locks". Oh, how God spoke to me through my natural hair!!! He took me so many places during that time, one of which was to Samson, in the Bible, to teach me about the power of my locks/cultured locks. I was sold! To this day, I wear my hair the same way and have no intention of wearing it any other way including the way you do. Don't judge me, brother! What God has for you is for you. What He has for me, is for me. Twisting the natural hair to lock it is still natural hair and, I'm a witness, cultured locks does NOT hurt the hair follicles AT ALL and it allows you to still remain your natural self as God made you to be.
Thanks, Father in Heaven Bless you.
Seala Media. Many blessings to you, as well, my brother.
DarkManX Tv, First I’d like to say I am GreatWall OfMexico and thank you for providing me with the above link to your channel. I arrived there and listened to the appx. three hour discussion you had with the Yenkunkun Pickibo (This does not sound like a Jamaican derived name) tribe reps and was very highly amused. Second, as it will presently become clear to you that we are not in complete agreement with respect to your thesis/platform, I implore you, in your responding to my challenges to your reasoning, to please try and refrain from personal derogative name-calling and I will respectfully do the same for you. By “personal” I mean, it’s ok to call an argument idiotic, but it’s not ok to call each other an idiot.
Now then, in my humble opinion, the so-called American “Aborigine” is a misconstruction and a farce. And the reason for my perception is that these people seek to deny the majority African and European blood running through their veins and identify only with their possibly 2% , if any, Amerindian blood. I find that to be absurd.
Y'see, I was born on the island of Jamaica and for many different spiritual reasons, I sincerely believe that I have a real connection to the Arawak people native to that island. I do not know if I have any Amerindian blood in me, in fact, but with all my heart I believe that I do. Nevertheless, I will never take a DNA test to find out because I think it’s irrelevant and furthermore, whether the Synagogue of Satan says I have Amerindian blood or not, I am still Xaymacan and I know I have an Arawak spirit residing inside of me. Despite my connection to my Arawakan spirit, I will never deny the majority African and European blood in me and claim to be Aborigine Xaymacan.
I believe the U.S. Lumbee tribe probably got it right as that tribe is comprised of the product of various mix of peoples found only on the American Continent (Amerindian, Africans and Europeans) with the argument that because all these different peoples came together here in the American Continent and reproduced, their offspring, a new and wholly unique tribe, is native to America and is therefore Native American.
I feel really sad for the people of the so-called Yenkunkun Pickibo (can’t help but think of the Jamaican vulgar terms “pum pum” and “picki picki head” when I hear this name) tribe for they are in complete denial of the truth about themselves. I hope they wake up soon to realize that they are all Children of the One True and Living God and are therefore entitled to "ownership" (by this I mean one owns whatever one possesses and not the fiction Satan's Synagogue has defined ownership to mean) of any land or living space in all of Creation and not just on the island of what is now called Jamaica.
This guy is cool and relaxed, as a rasta should be,more power to him.
I had been growing my hair out for close to two years. I had vowed to myself to not cut my hair or shave my beard.
But the judgmental faces, hurtful words, and lack of support was getting to me. Now that I see my hair on the floor, I don’t even feel like myself. I was tearing up as I cut my hair.
I wish I wasn’t standing alone.
Damn bro I respect you too much hate in the world
Find the worth of your hair for you and make that your some sort support system. When you realize truly the point of your hairs worth you wouldn’t even mind the fact of alll the negative no matter what it is ✊🏾 …. Realize and focus🧠 I got 100x of faith in you
Thank the most high Yah for being Hebrews I love my crown ahki blessings
If you read the bible., Sampson {the warrior who had his hair cut and he lost his strength} he had seven locks on his head. Yes he was a black man with locks
Flunbb G so when exactly do you think combs were invented?
It could have been braids, never says they were matted.
Mixam Ledwen braids were for the women. Men did not braid their hair.
GetmoreTV Says who
Freemλn firstly I said that Sampson had locks and not braids. I never mentioned braids except to dispute it being Sampsons hair.
Secondly so what if Sampson was a black man?
If u actually read the bible you will realise Moses was black, everyone was black before noahs time. It says in the book of Enoch that Noahs family thought he was a gift of God because he was white like the sons of God (Fallen Angels).
I do not postulate with what I say. Clearly with your negative view on anyone not being white in the bible tells me you might need to seek the Holy spirit for wisdom.
Faith in Jesus
Well said, even the Hindu God Shiva had dread locks, in India they said that Shiva is the God of Ganja, there are many of his followers with very long dread locks in India, they smoke Ganja, are vegetarian, and do yoga. Don't judge, because you will find dreadlocks everywhere. Thank you Jerome for your amazing insights and wisdom!
I don't Care what other People think of me , seen
Mi lock is mine
Keep it positive 🇯🇲❤️💛💚
You are so right my brother. Natty locks are sooooooooo beautiful, especially with dark chocolate skin. The ancestors told me it was time to lock my hair. I am so blessed to be a black woman with locs.
Anita's Educational Page same thing with me something told me to lock my hair I thought I was imagining it
@@ecstasybliss3710 The ancestors are real.
White people are pretty with locks too... or without them ... jeez.
can we enjoy our natural hair and what some believe it to stand for....every time the original people get together and try to educate one another here comes the Caucus person...I work with white people and only thing I gotta say is I’m proud to be an indigenous person....and btw black people are the most beautiful people on this earth...with or without hair I don’t even see another race being as beautiful as us✌🏽#igotlocstoo 🖤
I am currently on my own road to rastafari for me it's a spiritual growth and learning I want my locs to grow with me and my soul. Many blessings to you. Feed your soul love and the mind knowledge.
This man is a wise and peasefull example of how people should treat eachatter dont juge dont see coller just one love ❤️
I back-combed mine. Had them for an amazing 5 year journey. 34.5” when the time came to let them go. Lots of good conversations and experiences with people of different color, religion, and/or origin. I also received plenty of nods of understanding and words of respect. I researched before I committed. Then went into it spiritually with watchfulness and curiosity and openness with respect to the traditions that are not my lineage. Mine was an awakening, positive journey in a region with plenty of racial tension and religious conservatism. I plan on doing it again.
I am on this beautiful journey as well. Beautiful natural Black man. Peace and blessings.
My girlfriend been interlocking my hair for the past 3 or 4 years and I've decided to stop because my hair is thinning out and looks too much like I've had my hair done kinda look. I've lost 3 locks already so I'm leaving my hair to nature now.
As a Born again Christian my hair kept locking up and the Lord said to me to keep them so I did. I love my hair, It has humbled me taken away my vanity and brought me closer to God. Thank you Brother for this video much love to you 🙏🏽❤️
No nah go lie.. This video is very informational and I'm in the process of growing my hair. Jah bless and guidance.. From Portland Jamaica to South Carolina USA ONE LOVE .
Portland love, I love my dreads and I love my city
I was going through a spiritual change in my life when I dread locked my hair in 2008. In the process of time as my hair grew, so has my oneness with my Creator along with my connection to self, humanity and my purpose for being. My dreads are down to my bottom now and my heritage to the Kingdom of the Most High is sure 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹.
What's your number I'm spiritual too with locs, I'm no danger trust me.

Ramona Mcfann lmao I’m just messing with you mate. Have a nice day.
I love his vibe makes me become a better person everyday
I came across your video as by luck! I let my hair lock on its own since last September and I’m very proud as I feel more rooted. I’m puertorican by the way and I have some ropes for dread lol.
Everyone told me to go get it pro done....but I said one day no more brushing, no more styling!! I have always grown my hair since day one (all my toddle pics have me with long hair) and have been growing my beard since my first born son and he’s reaching 22 years old in 1 week!
My beard causes ridicule in a secular world! My reasons? Law of the Nazarene! Not to mention I’m an Israelite as well. All I tell people is “if mans beard was supposed to be kept short, then it would stop growing by design just like arm hair, eyebrows and eyelashes stop at a certAin length....by spiritual design!” They NEVER have an answer!
My boys from the islands started referring to me as Rasta, but I couldn’t understand the co-relation with that and locks....until now! I’d like to say that I’m a natural man and wish to remain that way! Shit I don’t even take aspirin lol
My beard I cut every 3-6 months and my hair I cut bald every 7 years!
Wow, Daminash, really!? You shave yr head totally?? And, do your licks grow back stronger for doing this, would u say? Or u it growth remains short?
Very well put, I liked the comedy too! I wonder when people will stop focusing on things like hair, and start focusing on things like the condition of their hearts.
All hair types if not combed dreads NATURALLY it is not exclusive to one race .. grow your antenna!! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏼✊🏻✊
Truth!
Staright ☝
The perm is becoming extinct thank God
This is what I needed to hear. I have epilepsy, because of it I developed a severe case of anxiety... it was so bad I would get anxiety when I had something as simple as a doctors appointment or sunday mass (its embarrassing to me when someone sees me haveing a seizure or finds out about my condition, which makes even writing this very hard). I grew my dreadlocks 4 years ago when I first found out about my condition, it helped me cope with my own insecurities. I shaved my head about two months ago because I was tired of being pre-judged and in some cases even looked down upon simply for being white and having locks, most hair salons would refuse to serve me when I wanted to get them tightened. I feel like im missing a limb or a loved one... my hair was not only a social security blanket for me but also a part of me. I immediately regret my decision... now my journey must start from the beginning, I look forward to having my protection and peace of mind back.
why don't you simply reattach your old dreadlocks with a crochet ? :)
@@misterpoulpe6329 because that hair is dead once you cut it off, duh.
@@Trouble316 You can reattach them by combing the end of the dread and crochet them to the original hair, some people cut their dreads and recrochet them there's no problem with that
Thanks i could listen for hours.
Im Mexican and Honduran and i have dreads to feel more connected to my unknown ancestors
Thanks for the video. Knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace, all three lead to the ability and freedom to love your fellow man. Which the planet could do with right now. I'm not a Rasta, I'm not a Christian, I'm not a Buddhist, I'm not a Muslim, I'm just an average white guy from New Zealand that takes an interest in other cultures and can see that the main basic thread in all of these religions (before they were twisted by those seeking power) is just be good to each other.
i'm a white guy allowing my hair to lock this way. i have two locks already and everybody tells me to comb my hair. but like this guy says God will keep speaking to my heart and i will keep growing it. thank you for this video man! Love :)
i say "white guy" because i want people to know that all hair types can lock up, it just takes longer for straighter hair. people have told me it looks bad but i disagree, i look in the mirror and love how i look. if your heart is telling you to do it don't be afraid to listen!
ben10 Do what you want to do man, don’t care what the world say like bob marley once said
exactly bro i love that comment! been 11 months since i combed it and 2 years since cut. natty dread, live up, lively up yourself, positive vibration, to name a few tunes that inspired me. Rastafari is not my religion but the movement taught me alot about God, human rights and life. im saying this to you and whoever else reads this. thank you fam! bless!

Love the video. People compliment my hair all the time, asking how I make it look this way 😂. Crazy thing is I hardly wash it, maybe 5 times a year 😂 don’t judge me, but my hair lets me know when it needs washing. And sometimes I put oils in it but I don’t have a routine for my hair. And no it don’t stink either !
You don't have hair anymore, you have locks and water is the main food so it should be 5 times a week,
Hi Jennifer, don't know how long you hv been wearing l9cks or whether they are now 'nature. Do u hv any problems with losing hair along hairline? And, do u have any tips here to amend tjis problem or avoid?
In my case, my dreads are long, of mature age. It CD be caused by hormonal changes going on - I am going through the menopause...
@@gvandalen
Blend a dry coconut with some hemp seeds squeeze and strain the milk and use it to wash your locks once a week also drink a glass of it at the same time,
Have to use it within one hour after making it .
Beautifully put brother! Respect from my Celtic Welsh ancestors who matted their hair for the same reasons as you! I’m subbed! People have forgotten the beauty of nature and the lessons of our ancestors! My locks are my antenna, my roots !

This man radiates pure peace, love it
I’m coming up on 3yrs 💪🏾🖤 no more retwist. Salute my bruddah
My locks = commitment to nonconformity ❤️💛💚
Do you still have them
Agreed, ...each ones journey is different!
I do not look at my hair as something I have to be like other I do what I like, but yes dread locs are beautiful, I love everything about any culture, we all learn from one another.
Exact reason i grew mine were because i got tired of braids,hair cuts,flat irons,combing thru my hair daily. For me it's really more of a spiritual and comfort of me being comfortable being myself. I've come to embrace my hair more & more because i'm happy with it in it's natural state even i get it retwisted and sometimes put into two or four braids. I never got the hype of doing it for fashion. I use to be one that clowned people for having them if they didn't look well kept and boom now i have them and i explain to people(the ones who i ise to be like) how clean and healthy they can be if you take good care of your hair.
Antenna....you said it man. I am 40 I have had long hair since 14 yrs old (I'm white , but my hair mattes very quickly, I don't have locks, although I would If I did not brush it) I would never cut my hair, its part of who I am. You said Antenna, and I fully feel the hair is. Long hair seems to go hand in hand with spiritual understanding. Thanks for you insight much respect from UK Loved this vid so much
Yes Brother
thank you so much, your words touched me so deep in my heart
I am a Caucasian man with naturally occurring dreadlocks. I have had curly hair all my life, my main style was the Afro not by choice but by nature. I left my hair over a period of time while working in the bush and it started to naught up. That was 20 years ago since then I wear my dreadlocks with pride as it represents me naturally. Unfortunately some do not believe I should wear this hairstyle and I have stories told to me by my children how they have been discriminated against because their father wears dreadlocks and he not the right colour to do so. This hurts me and I believe as long as you are representing your true self stand strong. I wear my locks with pride as I am true to myself and I will for as long as I live. Much respect and appreciation for a positive message.
Living Naturally and loving yourself and spreading happiness are the most important ways of life
💯🖤♥️❤️💙
Yes
I don't know where you came from. Bit thank God for you. Finally I heard someone who made sense. A little again the others would have made me feel as though if I don't have locks I am a waste. I have gone natural. And was considering letting my hair lock. And now even more so. I am definitely going to as you say let nature do what it wants. Because it is what God would want. Thank you. And keep strong brother.
I love the concept of, "This is my hair. H - A - I - R."
I dont know how I got to your page but apparently the Universe sent me here. I love your explanation of its MY HAIR. My hair is loc'd but they have been manicured. It has bothered me since I loc'd almost 5 years ago. Last week, my sister and I combined all of our locs (so they are your size) and no more manicuring. I just have a deep spiritual feeling to let my hair grow how it wants to. Thank you! THIS IS MY HAIR! Blessings
You seen like such a peaceful person, wish there were more like you
Found this while looking for methods to unlock my dreads. And you my brother have brought smile on my face and tears in my eyes. The way you preach is beautiful and I want to thank you for the lesson I have received.
You are so right when saying that those people at the saloon are just telling lies to people, I was one that wanted to freeform without anyone ripping and breaking my hair and roots apart, and they said it isn't possible. Here I am after 5 years without the "needed" retwist and half of my hair feels natural, and healthy and beautiful. Once again thank you! Respect 🙏
Keep on spreading Jah words.. Blessed Love my brother.
"yeah you" 12:04 I have maintained locks and when he said that I was like damn
Many people where locs good,bad etc.Your spirit is how you flow through life in peace being humble in kind to others.
Just wash it and leave it... meditate eat foods of the Earth wash once a week with natural soap if you by saltwater rinse it wear tams exercise and with life time and patience it will happen...a tree was a seed which is life the tree grows brings time and the life and time for the tree brings patience everything a tree can do your crown can do it too....facts.Jah bless and love for all.
I know what you mean when you say connection to the earth and higher power it’s a beautiful thing
Thank you for sharing the wisdom, brother.
I'm white with dreads and for me it's just about not combing my hair and accepting myself and nature for what they are not what we are constantly trying to make it. They formed on their own with a little help from the plants in my garden and they have a deep meaning to me in regards to modern society and where I think people should be and if people don't like that then I don't really want them to be around me anyway. Luckily people who judge others based on appearance tend to stay away from me because of them.
this man has beautiful energy
Hail Christ our Father.Thank you Jerome for divine information.The frequency is rising within the masses
Great video... Society makes people twist their dreadlocs even me who just began, especially in business sphere in town... So many judgments we got to overcome cause of the lack of knowledge. And I will have to get over their thoughts, I am aware and thanks 👍🏾
Before the invention of the comb, everyone had locks unless it was cur short or shaved.
Jose Jaurigue nope
@@Bookofhumanity every kind of hair turns into locs if you never comb it
Stan Pines No it wouldn’t would be impossible any hair texture under 3C wouldn’t turn to locks
x iCraniikzZ it would
I've seen a Yorkshire terrier with matted fur.
If a dog that doesn't have type 4a, 4b or 4c hair can have dreads because it's fur is never brushed, then couldn't anyone that doesn't maintain tangle free hair form them?
Hello! Very Very good video, I'm from México and i had a bad experience with my school and my dreadlocks, i had dreadlocks for a year, i felt like a real human being and so good with my self, but in my school they told me to cut them or i won't be able to enter to my classes, so i had cut them off, and now im with no hair.
I want to share this experience to tell to the people to fight (in the good sense) for your dreadlocks if you are like in my situation, do not give you up, belive me im very sorry for not doing something else to keep them, but i know that they will come back!
STAY STRONG
fuck um bro
I’ve been through something similar, it’ll pass. You’ll get it back someday
Baruc, do not worry. You know who you are inside if you and this shall shine through. Sometimes...one has to follow the 'crooked' road to eventually end up on the straight road of life😉💕
Although my profile picture is hella old lol I'm nearly 6mo in to my loc journey, yes I do the comb coils he spoke of but like with everything else moderation is key. And really to add to what he said ...the idea that one has to grown there locs in a certain manor really comes from the European mindset that most have in America..."you have to look like this" or "dress like that" it's the same mentality that is killing our rain forest and our ozone layer...its because we haven't learned that just because we can alter something , does not mean we should and besides that we change things that we shouldn't and hold on to dear life when it comes to things that should die out to begin with. For example African-Americans have know language of there own because we were forced to learn English, whatever languages we originally knew was lost to time because Europeans rather than trying to learn the language we spoke they just wrote it off as gibberish...and said "I want you to talk like this" . but yet when it comes to things like the concept of war , racism, bigotry, & elitism you can't get away from it....its everywhere you turn. But they will pride themselves on having a "civilized" society....how is it so "civilized" if we are still running around killing each other for monetary gain or prejudice against a skin color and we still can't accept each other for who they are and see beauty and value in one another regardless of how they wear their hair or what their skin color looks like.
However the loc Journey is not for everyone it forces you to look at yourself and find beauty in something you're not used to seeing, it teaches you to love yourself, if you are somebody that is always hung up on what somebody else has to say or what they have to think about you the loc Journey will show you the true Merit of Your Inner Strength and just how thick of a skin do you really have it will force you to deal with those self-esteem issues that you may have or you may not know that you really have them you may not have really let yourself admit to that it will also let you know just how patient you really are if you want to get to the Beautiful mature lock stage as they call it you have to be patient ...... locks are cool , and beautiful no matter how you start them , or if your Rasta or not (I'm NOT) ....the world judges dreadheads enough let's not Judge each other
My hair naturalally knots and locks and we fight it. Treating our hair everything but natural.. Everyone.. All colors, if you grow hair. Blessings to all. Accept nature and quit being critical and judgemental of others profile. I heard a quote of something to the tune of if you if you have no indifference what's your difference. Think about what really matters, kindness and love are not just words. The word work has been manipulated. Slavery to so many blinded and those who still see are still binded. Time to wake up..
F#@× the typos, can't type as fast as I think, much love from the $paceGang
Yes almost a decade strong never cutting it getting my hair twisted. I’ve had a lot of people say ignorant comments but I’ve ignored them. Beautiful video💫🍄
I subscribed because of this brother's energy.
Likewise 😏
agree with orange cat, the most rounded and well put together thoughts on dreads, appreciate it. lets put aside the segregation on all fronts and work on unity.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ this is literally the most AUTHENTIC VIDEO within our loc community. My favorite thing, “This is my HAIR.” Love your energy ❣️
You reminded me, I think I did use my dreadlocks as a shield. Someone whacked a bottle on my head, ages ago. Always wondered if it would of broken if not for hitting me on the dreads.
He is so magestic..
love them locks ❤
love this video and love all you ppl that watch
Thank you for making this video. The spirit told me to stop with the manipulative twist, so I undid the twists, now my hair is matting on its own terms. I don't know why its happening to me to be this way, but I'm going with it. Thanks so much again.
Wendy Benz I started mine comb coiled but month 5 I went neglected my hair texture wont let me neglect first
This man killed it with this topic. Best I've ever come across.
Ive never had a religious reason for my locs but being black and native american i feel its something i feel as a obligation to carry on naturalistic hair that they have worn i feel closer its just something i cant really explain fully, i dont plan on ever cutting them its not that i see my locs as who i am but something i just feel closer to my ancestors this feeling is euphoric if you will ive always been a go with the flow type of guy and ig it also represents me my personality. Freeform is meant to be free like your being.
