Dreadlocks versus hair

- - Reverted 1 edit by Humphrey Tribble (talk): Correcting culturally insensitive edit: "hair" is not the same as "dreads". ***

Actually, dreadlocks are hair, and that is implied in the next sentence of the article! But not all readers will recognize the slang “dreads“ and make the connection that it means the style of her hair.

My explanation was “In the interest of globalization, I have replaced the word “dreads“ with the term hair. If the type of hairstyle is relevant, please provide a reference.”

I am well aware of the importance of ornamentation. Rather than a reflexive accusation of cultural insensitivity, can you provide information which explains the origin and importance of her “dreads” to people of other cultures? Also, can you confirm she has dreads in 2021? For that matter, she would now be about 90 and the world has been going through a pandemic; so is she still alive?

I have provided a temporary solution by rewording and adding a link. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 21:23, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
