Yes there is a long held belief that dread lock has a spiritual significance, Cutting off natural dreadlocks may be viewed as a betrayal of one's ancestors or a departure from cultural traditions.
So it is said that one invites negative spiritual consequences such as constant illness, bad luck, spiritual unrest!
This belief is still strongly held to this day in Nigeria

is it only applicable to the boys also? I am curious to know about it. What if someone cut a dreadlock? What will be the punishment?
#taboo
Both boys and girls, anyone with natural dreadock, it is believed they always get sick and spiritually unstable. Out of that fear, they don't cut a natural dreadlock
What part of Nigeria though? Is this taboo still taken seriously?
