So in a bid to win the argument, i interviewed a medical doctor friend and some folks who attend white garment churches where perhaps you see the highest number of kids with dreads. My discovery was shocking! Read more and see pictures on this link

Yes, peppercorn hair is natural. It is simply a variation of the Curly African hair type, but "Dada" hair grows out of the head inn more tightly curled clumps than the general populace.
It is more widespread among some African ethnic groups than others.

Dreads INSIDE the womb? It's impossible with all the water in the womb
That kid's dreads are nice
