The Aztecs Wore Dreadlocks, Too
Recent evidence indicates that dreadlock-wearing priests have been featured in literature by the Pre-Columbian Aztecs from the 15th century all the way to the 17th century. And like ancient Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Central American cultures, dreadlocks even made their ways to other cultures as well, like Germanic tribes and Vikings. According to Roman accounts, the Celts reportedly wore a hairstyle that looked a lot like “snakes,” too.
