Rastafarian's choose not to cut their hair for they belive that it will weaken them. Also, they belive it's a way to be closer to Jah. Growing dreadlocks is a spiritual journey for Rasta, and they believe that it teaches patience.

Because it is part of their religion and culture. They believe that you should not comb, brush or touch your hair. This method of creating dreadlocks is known as the neglect method. In African hair textures, hair will easily lock with the neglect method; other hair textures may take a bit longer (Caucasian, curly, or thick hair) , and some (Asian, straight or thin hair) may not lock at all using the neglect method.

Rastafarians follow the Holy Bible, which talks about how men should take the Vow of the Nazerite. The Vow states that men should not drink wine or cut their hair.

"Yahweh spoke to Moses and said, 'Speak to the Israelites and say: If a man or a woman wishes to make a vow, the Nazirite vow, to vow himself to Yahweh, he will abstain from wine and fermented liquor, he will not drink vinegar derived from one or the other, he will not drink grape juice or eat grapes, be they fresh or dried. For the duration of his vow he will eat nothing that comes from the vine, not even juice of unripe grapes or skins of grapes. As long as he is bond by his vow, no razor will touch his head; until the time for which he has vowed himself to Yahweh, he will not go near a corpse, he will not make himself unclean for his father or his mother, or his brother or his sister, should they die, since on his head he carries his vow to his God. Throughout the whole of his vow he is a person consecrated to Yahweh. --Numbers 6:1- 8

Because they belive they should let their hair be totally untouched. They do not brush, wash or touch their hair. Therefore, they end up in dreadlocks.
