In Chinese history that hair style was popular during some dynasties. You can literally find pictures of chinese women with that hair style, i think it was a more nobles thing.

Well, you know how some people think, only their race can have it, think they made it popular or something. Yet Polynesians and Asians had dreadlocks in ancient times.

Maybe its arrogance that they dont know that other races had dreadlocks long ago, or ignorant? Arrogant?

Dreads were popular amongst celts and Vikings etc too

Id bet dreadlocks were amongst many, to all races. Like I was saying, a certain race likes to claim everything as they started it and only they can have it. Dunno why they’re like that, I notice it a lot. Not trying to seem like an asshole, just facts. Facts are facts.

If they don't know = Ignorant

If they know but don't care = Arrogant

I know, I was just wondering which one they actually are, putting a little sarcasm in there.

Its like, you know they know, they just pretend like they don’t so they can claim it as theirs.

The point is it's 2018 and any person of any race can have any hair that they choose, period.

Not exactly. Noble women throughout the dynasties wore their hair in big spectacular shapes. A few braids here and there on top of the big hair but not dreads as far as I know.

Yeah i wasnt sure exactly what class, but there where groups. Also it depends what dynasty and/or period it is

I've heard that it's not that easy to form dreads with east Asian hair. And that it sometimes is seen as a symbol of luck.

Visited China a couple of years ago and people went literally crazy over my hair (I'm a white bloke with 4 ft+ long dreadlocks).
