The Insight to a Rastafarian's Hair

My hair is long
My hair is shaded
My hair is strong
My hair is braided

It is longer than Rapunzel's
Farther than my waist,
Just like Gretel and Hansel.
What is it's taste?

It's black, It's proud,
Jamaican too,
It's dreaming out loud.
Can it tie my shoe?

It fits real snug
upon my head
It can be a rug
But it is not red

Discover the meaning,
The places to be.
My hair needs some preening,
What hairstyle is groovy?
