It's highly unlikely you will be checking back to see this, but I still felt the need to point out that the Scandinavians and the Celts were not calling their hair dreadlocks. That term was specifically applied by white colonials to black Jamaicans, specifically Rastafarians.

Thus the term dreadlocks has political, anti-colonial meaning, associated with false imprisonment, police brutality, black, dark brown skin and racism.

People with no clue about that, need to step the hell back from using the name in their colour-free and institutional racism free, majority white fantasies - as a sign of exotic other.
