Dreadlocks : In our Hindu culture dreadlocks are known as "Jata". By this, the next thing comes to the mind is Jata dhari Shiva, Why so ? ((according to mythology) because Lord Shiva has this dreadlocks piled up like a Pyramid where he Captures River Ganges & Controls her so that she can't destroy earth.
You will see many Shiva followers "Sadhu & Sadhvi (holy men & women)" in this look, especially during "Simhastha Fair", where Aghori Sadhus gather to have bath in Sacred river.
Well that was all about its origin (as far as i know), Dreadlocks are now part of many other cultures mainly in Hippies, Punks & now a days in Travelers also...Its a Fashion thing now.
