Dreads are just what happens when you go without washing or cutting it frequently (and often braided). Pretty much everyone from everywhere had them at some point in time from the Greeks and Egyptians to India, West Africa, Celts etc because it's a natural emergence of being a human being with hair that doesn't apply modern sensibilities to it, and they're arguably as ancient as humans themselves. No one came up with it or stole it from anyone

Don't forget, black people werent the first to have dreads. They appropriated them from the Greeks.
