This is when a character wears their hair in a dreadlocks style, thus visually standing out from other characters, as a sign of rebellion, independence, devotion to religion, or just being free-spirited. In fiction (and for the specific purpose of this trope), dreadlocks are worn most frequently (but not exclusively) by black characters, though said characters may not necessarily be Rastafarians by faith, or even be religious at all. Said characters tend to be laid-back, anti-authoritarian (to varying degrees, depending on the work in question), users of..."interesting" substances (as per the stereotype that dreadlocks-wearers almost always smoke cannabis/weed/ganja/hashish/marijuana note yes, those are all the same thing), or some combination of the three. About dreadlocks: the style involves letting the hair on one's head grow for a long time without cutting it, then twining the hair into several long matted strands. The strands may be very thick or moderately thin, and may vary in length from shoulder-length to going all the way down the back in some cases. When worn by a male, the locks may sometimes give him the appearance of a lion, especially if accompanied by an unshaved beard. (As a side note, some Rastafarians wear their locks in a turban; this trope focuses primarily on those who wear their locks loosely.) Putting one's hair into a series of small braids is not dreadlocks, although it's sometimes used to evoke the style without actually having to get the hair matted. In Real Life, dreadlocks are most commonly associated with practitioners of the Rastafarian religious movement and, to a lesser degree, with Jamaicans, reggae musicians, and hippies. Bob Marley is quite possibly the most famous dreadlocks wearer, as he was a devout Rastafarian. The reasons for wearing of dreadlocks may vary across different groups, ranging from "deep religious and spiritual conviction" (as in the case of Rastafarians and some Hindus) to "symbolism of rebellion against authority, especially that of the government-controlled type" (as exemplified in Bob Marley's music, and explained above). Please note that for a character(s) to specifically qualify for this trope, just wearing dreadlocks is not enough: see the text above, and contrast the Dreadlock Warrior, who wears the same hairstyle for very different reasons. The trope name comes from a line in Bob Marley's 1983 song "Buffalo Soldier", which was released posthumously on the album Confrontation. |

The Miseducation of Cameron Post: Jane is a black girl with her hair in dreadlocks. Among the kids at the conversion therapy camp, she's probably the most rebellious, openly disparaging the "treatments" as pure nonsense and secretly growing marijuana in the woods nearby herself along with her friends. She was raised on a hippie commune, which could explain a lot of this. | |

Sense8: Amanita Caplan wears her hair in dreadlocks dyed in the colors of the Bisexual Pride flag. She's extremely liberal, making several comments about wealth inequality, and she and her girlfriend Nomi are seen eating pot brownies on several occasions. When the FBI pursue Nomi on false charges Amanita refuses to comply with the agent that keeps coming to question her. While she never expresses any religious affiliation she immediately accepts that Nomi is a sensate and is generally very open-minded. | |

Discworld characters Peachy in Hogfather ("a huge man with dreadlocks and a beard you could keep goats in") and Dave (of Dave's Pin Exchange) in Going Postal ("a huge bearded man with dreadlocks, a pin through his nose, a beer belly belonging to three other people and the words 'Death or Pins' tattooed on a bicep"). Race isn't mentioned for either of them, although Dave is played by a black actor in the TV adaptation of Going Postal (Peachy was cut from the adaptation of Hogfather). Religion isn't mentioned either, although it's possible the Disc has some Crystal Dragon Selassie equivalent. They are both anti-authoritarian: Peachy is a criminal, and Dave seems to see pin-collecting as some sort of counterculture, and is revealed in Thud! to be an occasional Conspiracy Theorist. | |

In Eagle Eye Mysteries, Randy Hicks sports the hairstyle in his avatar picture. He's a dog trainer who uses, at least as far as his competition is concerned, "unconventional" means of training dogs (that is, he treats them as though they have spiritual energy that can be positive or negative depending on how they're treated). | |

An Enforcement of the trope occurs over the course of Super Robot Wars: Original Generation's journey from concept to export. The Mauve Shirt Giado Verendi, as his name suggests, was originally designed to be Italian. But he was given dreadlocks for some reason. The colorist saw the dreadlocks, and made him Black. When the game was exported by Atlus, the writers saw a Black man with dreadlocks, and gave him a Jamaican accent. | |

The Bible (2013): John the Baptist has dreads, appropriate for a wild mystic who lives off in the desert. Samson, unusually, combines this with Dreadlock Warrior. As a Nazirite, he has untrimmed, matted hair as a symbol of devotion to God. But he also kicks Philistine butt. When he loses the dreads, he can't fight. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Word of God states that the fur on Knuckles the Echidna's head are dreadlocks. Knuckles himself is an Ineffectual Loner when he's not willingly being The Lancer. He counts due to there being a deep spiritual connection and importance placed on his job as guardian of the Master Emerald, detailed in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Chronicles. | |

Barrington in Maid Marian and Her Merry Men. Specifically described as a Rasta on several occasions, despite living centuries before Rastafarianism existed. He sometimes acts as a sort of narrator for the ongoing events. | |

Tom Tanaka of Du Ra Ra Ra has a generally laid back personality and is one of the few people able to keep Shizuo under control. He also generally comes off as free-spirited but he's a Loan Shark by profession, albeit a pretty reasonable and friendly one who mostly uses Shizuo's reputation as a deterrent to anyone who might try something. His ethnic background isn't explicitly stated in the series, though due to his darker skin tone and Multiethnic Name it's speculated that he's partially of African descent. | |

Samson, the inhumanly strong One-Man Army from the Bible, is specifically stated to wear his hair in dreadlocks in Judges 16:13. As a Nazirite (sort of an Old Testament proto-monk), he actually combines this trope with Dreadlock Warrior. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: One of Jack Atlus's Tuner Monsters is his Dread Dragon, a funny looking dragon with tied dreadlocks on its head. Its German name is even called "Dreadlock-Drache". However, Dread Dragon has low stats and its main purpose is to be used as a Synchro Material for a much stronger monster. | |

Grand Theft Auto IV: "Little" Jacob Hughes expresses some anti-authoritarian attitudes in-line with Rastafari beliefs, and uses marijuana liberally, but isn't exactly the most peaceful person around. He's still better than most of the psychos running around Liberty City, though. And still more back than his associate, Real Badman. | |

StarCraft II has Gabriel Tosh. Dreadlocks, Jamaican Troll some accent, liberal use of Terrazine, and really hates Mengsk's Terran Dominion. For the haircut part, Un-infested Kerrigan in the Heart of the Swarm part seems to fit. | |

Agon Kongo's most memorable feature is his very long, very thick, dread-locked hair. Some of his nicknames include "reggae head", "rasta head" "reggae guy" and "fucking dreads". His hairstyle choices are probably meant to be seen as a sign of rebelliousness, as his previous haircut was also associated with delinquency (long, wavy bleached blonde hair). His dreads being shaved off could be seen as symbolic of his attitude (slowly) improving. Ironically, he's quite obviously NOT a Rastafarian as he attends a very strict, ascetic Buddhist school. | |
