    Well that’s an unfortunately worded headline. “dreaded” as in the noun, of having dreadlocks. Not “dreaded” as in the adjective, regarded with great fear. Although this does spark an interesting thought. Apparently dreadlocks originated from the English invaders in the colonial world, as they encountered native tribes with “dreadful” hair.
