I’d finally given in to my desire to look like I belonged in an Astérix book and got all of my hair put into braids. I accidentally grew dreadlocks when I was younger. The only European thing I can think of is what’s called a Polish plait, but that doesn’t look so much like dreadlocks as it does a hairy loaf of bread.
Though I did read in an article on modern Buddhism that some Tibetan monks are now apparently favouring dreadlocks over the more traditional shaved head. Outside of Africa and places that have a large concentration of people with African heritage, the only traditions I know of that incorporate anything vaguely similar are Hinduism and some of Aztecs’ priesthood.
I would be very suspicious of anyone trying to claim there was a white tradition that incorporated anything like dreadlocks.

The descriptions I’ve read pretty much just describe them as braids or pigtails, thereby creating the lovely image of a heavily-armed hulk with a beard like a bramble patch sporting the kind of hairdo most of us would identify with schoolgirls. I’ve never come across any contemporary sources that describe Celtic hairstyles in terms of what we would understand to be dreadlocks. because i’m pretty sure you’re not going to find it.ĮTA: i guess maybe the vikings had “dreads” too? even still, two(ish) ethnic groups a continental/racial tradition do not make. a religious cult or something) but wearing them as a cultural expression of their own culture, you win. or Europe) wearing dreadlocks *before 1965ish*, and they *weren’t* consciously setting themselves off from the mainstream in some way (i.e. Seriously, if you can find me a picture of a group of white people (from either the U.S. You know when you do see white ppl starting to rock dreads, tho? after Bob Marley became an international mega superstar. like, if white folks were ever going to support dreadlocks en masse, *that* would be the time you’d see it. if this really was a european heritage, do you really think it would have been as marginalized in western society as it has been? I mean, what cultural European tradition has been taboo in the west? the ballet? the english language? straight hair? like, think about it.

plus empire, because colonization was the reason why there were white folks in them brown folks house to begin with! and there’s a long history behind tattoos and colonization specifically that i’m not going to rehash here, but what do you think made tattoos taboo in western society to *begin* with? it was the fact that the only people who got tattoos were those savage, bestial, filthy natives and the heathen sailors who steered the ships to and fro. you don’t see dreads/tats in Renaissance artwork, you don’t see it being worn by King Henry or some shit, you don’t see any baroque-era symphonies with “tattoo” in the title or some shit………like, throughout the cultural products that modern europe has put forth since rome fell, dreads/tatts/mods are nowhere to be found, and that would be the place that they would be found.īut you know when europeans did start writing about tatts? when they starting going to places where brown and black people lived.

Like, if dreads/tats/body mods really was a European thing, wouldn’t we have seen MORE of that shit? like, wouldn’t maybe early modern Europeans *at the least* still be into it? but no. it just makes you an supremacist, appropriating jackass. repeatedly referencing the exception to the rule does not make the exception the rule. Thusly, dreads/tatts/mods is NOT a european cultural tradition.

that you are more than likely not directly descended from? that invalidates your argument that dreads/tats/body mod was a European “thing.” Just because ONE group of Europeans at one point did it, *does not make it a part of the culture*.Ĭonversely, how many ethnic groups in Africa practice scarring, or piercing, or tattooing, or wear dreadlocks? How many indigenous groups in the Americas? In the Pacific Islands? hint: WAY more than just ONE. if you as a WHITE PERSON) can only name ONE. now, i don’t do Ancient European Shit so i’ll leave it to someone who does to be a bit more detailed but at the end of the day, if you as a descendent of Europeans (i.e. and it was one ethnic group amongst MANY of ancient Europe. the Celts were a really long fucking time ago. that’s when shit like historical context and knowing of what the fuck you speak come into play.īut here’s the thing. First off, note-a-bear has a great post on how those dreadlocks that the Celts were supposedly wearing actually weren’t dreadlocks as we define them today.
