Actually yes. I read about them during my transtion from perm to nappy. I will give you exact refrences if I can find them but honestly I read so much during that time it might be impossible. I remember them saying there was a tribe in West Africa where the head priest wore his hair in locs. If a baby's hair 'locs naturally' then the parents were instructed to leave it alone because it had great spiritaul meaning.
