What’s up with Ricky Williams?
ANSWER: Ricky Williams is one of the most recognizable characters in the NFL due to his dreadlocked (also known as Nubian locks, dreads, locks, or African Locks) hair. People wear their hair in dreadlocks for different reasons, and many people that do not have dreadlocks have many different beliefs about it. Some people are even offended by the growing popularity of dreadlocks, dreads, or locks. Whatever the belief, everyone is an individual and should be able to do what they feel is best for them with their hair.Some people have dreadlocks because they are a symbol and expression of their religion. To others regardless of a religion that they are a part of or not, their hair is just one of the manifestations of the natural lifestyle that they live. Some people have dreadlocks just because it compliments their look and is one of the best ways to go natural. And there are those who would love to have dreadlocks but feel it would either prevent them from getting a job or keeping a job.Many who have dreadlocks are approached with questions and misconceptions such as, "Are you Jamaican or a Rastafarian?" or "So you can't wash your hair right?" Contrary to the beliefs and misconceptions, dreadlocks can be the most beautiful, clean, good smelling, strong and healthy hair there is and dreadlocks can be styled just as much as any other hair type.Is his hair real? Only his hairdresser knows for sure, but during one Miami-New Orleans game, a Saints tackle returned to the huddle with a dreadlock… that had gotten ripped out at the bottom of a pile. Dreadlocks come in many forms, shapes, textures and sizes. That is the beauty of dreadlocks. Go to a salon that specializes in dreadlocks. A professional stylist should be able to answer any questions you may have.
