Hair style adopted by Black Valyrians after meeting the people of Naath — an Island in the Summer Seas located off the coast of Sothoryos.

Naath and the culture of Sothoryos can be paralleled to the similarities between India to Srī Lanka.

The peaceful and festive Naath saw the ships and the Black crewmen in their harbors and greeted them like kings from their legends by honorifically adorning their hair with oils and shells as a greeting.

The resulting hairstyle was the prototypical Valyrianlocks.

It is said: The Seven Gods created man; but, the Black Valyrians created style. After they left The Summer Isles, the y continued to wear their hair in locks.

The Naath were intrigued by the hair color and length of Valyrian hair — although the texture was the same. Valyrians were intrigued by the skin color they shared with the Naath. It is reasonably believed that there is an untold story about their connection.

In addition to giving the Valyrians honorific hairstyles, the Naath also gave the Black Valyrians both smokable and edible herbs that expanded consciousness and caused visions. They also gave them the lavender dye that became foundational to their flags and royal clothing.

Lavender was a signifier of how far and how widely the Valyrians had traveled and traded as a sea fairing people.
Valyrianlocks are worn to signify royal blood, a connection to the ancestors, and to facilitate communion with higher levels of consciousness. The can be compared to the dreadlocks of our world.
