Rastafarianism Was a Global Phenomenon
The Rastafari movement became a global phenomenon in the 1970s thanks to Bob Marley. Not only did reggae musician help popularize dreadlocks, but a lot of his songs referenced Rastafarianism, too. Eventually, the hairstyle became as famous as the singer himself and people around the world seemed eager to adopt Marley’s look.
