DREADLOCKS: IS IT A NEGATIVE WORD? origin

[@user-sh2nr2gd7y]

I'm to be feared....I'm a dreadloc warrior Queen🙌🏾👸🏾

[@spicyingrid1]

Thank you for conforming that term. Ppl were arguing online saying the white man gave us this name in a negative way. Love your explanation cause am in my 6th month of my dreadlocks. I am a warrior Queen✊🏿

[@beet0pp]

It's so sad to see the desire to be oppressed when I see African American making the claim that it's a negative thing to say dreadlocks and even going so far to say every bit of historic cases of locks being a hairstyle before the mau mau warriors didn't exist nor happen. People are literally insane with wanting segregation instead of accepting our multicultural world we live in that is as mixed as a paintbrushes cleaning water

[@tyrikmoore3]

I’m here because of the same reason here today in 2024 😢

[@alexthedio]

i love this man like i wasnt expecting him to bring up shrek lmao much love

[@georgiam228]

I love that he references Shrek 2 omg who else just wants to kick it with this guy? 😂

[@CaptainAndy]

I like to call mine 'elfknots' because that's the Celtic name for them. According to Celtic folklore, if you wake up with tangled locks of hair it's because fairy folk have been playing with your hair while you were asleep... and it's considered bad luck to comb them out. :)

[@bonelesschickenwings]

That's so cute!! I love that 💛💛💫💐

[@CaptainAndy]

@@bonelesschickenwings Yep! :)

[@CKsmooch]

I love this!

[@nataliej.c.3691]

If I weren’t black and dominican i’d be celtic, your folklore sounds like a child’s dream and I love that. 💕🧚🏽‍♀️

[@jusded6803]

Way to go andy @Captain Andy! All locs, no matter how we get them, are beautiful!

[@vic8088]

[@mztwistedstylez5156]

Been telling people this forever. THANKS SO MUCH for this video

[@GuitardedAndBroke]

I love your channel Kris!! You have so much knowledge and passion for the history of locks and the culture that surrounds them. I always learn something new when you speak. That's one of the greatest gifts one person can give to another. You are my teacher! :)

[@KrisMcDred]

Thank you

[@ooomdeee]

Thanx Kris! Love this video! Very informative. Because of you and some of my close friends I started my journey 6 weeks ago. I watched all the videos on your channel. Hope to see more I'm the future. Greetings from Germany.

[@rjw6746]

This video should have far more views. Always dropping knowledge my dreadlocked brother. Much appreciated

[@ChaseBlackmoon]

This is some good information! This reminds me of the name of the warship class "dreadnought", it came from the description of the ship itself, someone (sorry, forgot their name) said that whoever was on this ship would fear nothing because they were so powerful, so we have fear=dread, and nothing=nought. So both of these terms are war related, dreadlock is army and dreadnought is navy, not saying sailors couldn't have dreadlocks, of course.

[@gymmgymmm1738]

I believe this man could be great role model, world wide !

[@terrytilbury94]

Awesome it's awesome you are teaching.... much respect there is so much more for people to learn about the dreadlocks and the ways of life and where and why they are worn in some places dreadlocks are worn out of respect love and fear to the almighty Jah.... people act like they are blind because they judge things they know nothing about and instead of educating them self they choice to stay blind.

Welcome

[@matthew.p7358]

Hey McDread I’ve been looking to get my hair dreaded, but I’m white and I know many of the people around me won’t like it. I really like the style and I’m conflicted.

[@ina1815]

Matthew .P Just get freeform locks then, no guilt.

[@MysticalRainbowKaci]

Look for his other video 'can white people have dreadlocks' ... it is very insightful!!

[@NattyByNature-]

Who are you living for?

[@maxcrowe]

He's back!!

[@bryan123483]

Thank you again for another wise and intelligent video!

[@emilily6513]

Here in Belgium, we commonly call them "Rastas"

[@malikjohnson9191]

I literally had this argument with a young solider yesterday! Their problem is they think that the elders believe lies and the truth was invented with the internet!

[@CraftyCort]

Great video! Thanks brother for the knowledge. I'm a new dreadhead! I love the term! Peace Brother! I subscribed

[@Guava911]

Bonne explication, vrai définition 🌟

[@marymule-winz1994]

[@BillySidness]

Great video man, loved the knowledge bomb!

[@cyboyentertainment92]

I always learn something new.

[@kellyclark7517]

Thank u sir! Each ONE...teach ONE❤️

[@TPlocks]

Great insight. It’s definitely a nuanced topic but its cool to have another perspective.

[@stevenbouey5438]

I appreciate your videos deeply!!! To all the viewers I challenge you to do some serious research for yourselves!! God bless the entire world!!!!!!

[@mbrown2724]

thank you brother 🙏🏾

[@margaretnicol3423]

That's very sad. Using one people to kill another people. Black warriors v Native American warriors. At least Bob Marley brought it to people's attention. A lock of hair has been around for a long, long time in a romantic way. Cutting off a little lock of hair and sending it tied in a bow to a loved one as a token of that love or even, in Victorian times, cutting off a lock of hair from a dead person to keep something personal close to you. Both were put in a locket or a brooch.

[@KT-zd8jo]

I gave my auntie a piece of my loc nd she carries it everywhere she goes

[@galacticbambi949]

wow... when my father died and we saw his open casket; my brother and I. My mother took a pair of scissors, and cut 3 locs off. I was super confused as to why, but now i think I get it.

[@patrickfranco743]

Ayyyee! Been waiting for an upload from you.

[@mikesumner9232]

Waguan Friend? Glad to see another great video Kris! Hope you and your family are blessed and having a great New year's! Looking forward to Dubai soon hopefully. Is there anything,non conventional from what you get say in a hospital for Colon cancer,or any type of cancer my brother... I know you have sooo much information on so many levels and topics and anything you would suggest? I'm not wanting to do chemo and radiation treatment.... Look forward to hearing from you as always my friend!

[@josemarques2370]

kris what is the best technique to maintenance straght hair dreadlocks?

[@Funky897]

YESSSS WE MISSED YOU SO MUCH

[@javarismcclendon8920]

After traveling months on ships with no hygiene available, it's unsurprising that their hair appeared matted and locked. It's said that slave owners referred to the "dreadful" sight of the captives, thus the term "dreadlocks" and its negative association Dread refers to fear some so they were scared to even touch our hair bc to them it looked hideous I HAVE 9ETHER Locs is the best term

[@ItsSKthestupidrapper]

Great listening skills buddy

[@gia2939]

I would really love for you to work my hair its so hard to find someone that can work properly on my hair texture please help me

[@Prissilla]

Please i commented on your first youtube video asking if you can wash the dreads and if you can open them after it has grown longer can you answer please?.

[@KrisMcDred]

You should wash dreads. You must wash. Yes you can remove them.

[@Prissilla]

@@KrisMcDred and my hair will stay long?

[@KrisMcDred]

@@Prissilla yes but you will loose a lot of hair. A lot of hair that would have broken off is still stuck inside the locs. Ones you release them they will break of.
