The old-generation Rastafarians hold great pride in their natural hair and see it as a symbol of their fight against Babylon, non-violence, non-conformity, communalism and solidarity, and as a heavy spiritual statement. Many new-generation Rastas see their dreads as a passport to smoking ganga and listening to Reggae music, not understanding the real Rastafarian culture and values. Originally, dreadlocks were the mark of spiritual status, Dogon Priest and Kemetic Spiritual Master Naba Lamoussa Morodenibig of The Earth Center explained in an interview. Priests of diverse Deities were required, at least for a specific period of time, to have dreadlocks. For example, priests of Deities that are involved in the healing of the body and with procreation, such as Wsr, Heru, Theouris and Sekhmet, are required to have dreadlocks. Using a crochet hook Technique our Dreadlock Specialist, Yusuke flown down from Japan creates a natural smooth looking dreadlock using a very small amount of bee's wax. We have a wide range of real and synthetic hair, of different colours to add texture, extend and thicken. Depending on the thickness of ones hair, Rising Angel charges a flat rate of $70 per hour for any dread work, meaning the more hair to dread the longer it will take. When extending dreadlocks you will be charge the hourly rate as well as the hair to extend onto the dread. |
