does anyone here have dreadlocks?

[rastabill89]

does anyone here have dreadlocks or have had dreadlocks?? i stoped combing my hair today so im gona let it tangle up and dread naturaly im trying to become a true rasta! :)

[i jus wanna smoke]

no offense but u r stupid, just read on this site adout dreads,The Site (http://www.howtodread.com/)

[Juggalotus17]

You realize you can't wash your hair for a year while it grows, right?

[Az.]

i had dreads and my best mate does at the moment...
i got rid of mine to try and get a job (brushed them out after 6 months) but im planning on getting them back again this summer.

[mynameismike0]

ha yea i had to get my hair cut after the rents busted me smokin and just to piss em off i decided to stop doing anything to my hair so it would eventually dread up. luckily after 2 days i looked at that site and realized that was a stupid idea. so in about a year it should be long enough and i'm gonna be that stereotypical college pothead with dreads who plays at coffeeshops for tips to pay for food

[Srendaen]

yep. I've got dreads. This summer they'll be 5 years old. I've tried all ways of getting my hair to lock, from natural no washing and combing to backcombing and perm solution.

rescently I've bleached them and coloured them orange again. I put about 4 synthetic strands through them to give it all more volume.
looks like fire! but yeah I've got a best friend as hairdressers so...

oh and I placed dreadlocks for a friend. It took about 6 hours of intense backcombing.
I could talk all day long about dreads...but I better go take a shower. adios.

[llamaman666]

I have em, if you didnt notice. For fucking 13 years and havent been cut, combed once.
and you can wash em. do it with bar soap. that has no other stuff to get stuck in em.

so jus lett it do its thing. It will clump more if you are active and sweat and bounce it while running. it will get salt chrystals to tangle them and then they leave when in water leaving baby locks

[ScarlettCrush]

let me advise.....we chicks are not crazy about dreadlocks, unless you like the hairy underarm, no makeup natural type. you can't run your fingers through them, people judge you harshly, (think it doesn't matter? don't fool yourself, a cop would not search the car of a straight looking young person, sport some dreds and one sticker on your car, prepare for your beatdown) If you don't keep on a pretty high maintenence schedule then they stink and look gross, and it is a very dated look.
Dissagree at your own peril, but I am a hot and high maintenence chick, with hot and high maintenence chick friends, it seems universal among us that your personality, wallet and cock would all have to be huge for us to get over the dread situation.

[koshea]

^^^^that wasnt shallow or concieded at all

[Drugman Joe]

Dreads aren't my thing. I'll take my normal long hair any day.

[englishtongan]

i had dreads 4 ten years just cut them off afew months ago.

[ScarlettCrush]

^^^^that wasnt shallow or concieded at all
no it wasn't, it was true. stop calling me things, didn't you just go off on how people where not nice on these boards?

[koshea]

lol so quick to assume i was being sarcastic, whos to say i wasnt serious scarlett?

hey hey speak for yourself. Know plenty of chicks with no dreads that drool over dreadies. This is actually a typical reaction from someone who has never had dreads or experienced them via friends. You can run yer fingers easily through dreads and it feels very similar as when it happens through 'normal' straight persons hair. Each person has an own grooming regime for their own dreads. We don't all produce the same amounts of body juices. So each to judge on their own how often they need to maintain their dreadies.
Oh and it's not a look, it's a life style.
And thankfully I don't live in your damned country, luckily I don't experience all that closed mindedness neither do my fello dreadies over here.
Plus whats this bullshit about no makeup types? Aren't we being a bit stereo typical? Sure you got those. I bet ya a million their are just as many female dreadies who do use makeup gracefully. Of which I am one.

oh and by the way, in this comment of yours are you directing this soully on white people with dreads or is your reaction different to black people and their dreads?
I didn't mean to take your reaction quite that personal but you come across as a know it all, and you must admit no matter what the age or experience, no one knows it all.

Each to their own descisions and good luck with the consequences.

[looseends]

first of all, if you want to wear locks, (i don't indentify with the dread part) you have to keep your hair clean and twist your hair once a month. i've been wearing locks for almost six years and my hair is an inch from the base of my back.

and one other thing. rastafari is a religion not only identified by wearing locks.

oh...and scarlett, there are some sisters (like myself) who truly digs a man, (black or white-or other) with locks. you can have a man with a huge memeber and have no clue of what to do with it, but that's for another thread. still luv ya though.

[ScarlettCrush]

see it's times like this when you get to see just how small my hometown was....;-)
I'm not trying to harsh on you dude. I have experienced the difference first hand in how people treat you.
I used to be fat and gothish, I got NO slack from anyone, anywhere. That is, if they payed attention to me. Now I'm normalish, I dress nicely and ou would be amazed at how accomodating people can be. I get free shit and bumped up in lines all the time, for nothing....

[Chronic]

White people with dreads is actually quite racist, each dread represents a year of slavery and a white guy with dreads is taking the piss a bit. No-one will mind where you come from cause not a lot of people know about that, just don't go to Jamaica (sp?) cause you'll probably get killed.

i've taken you've witnessed this yourself?

[Srendaen]

hahaha lolz.

when I was in the carribean, island under jamaica met enough jamaicans they all took me under their wing as the rasta woman. so killing is a bit of a hyperbole, no.

plus where did you get that story about the slavery thing?
what about the rastafarians, are they discriminating the other blacks because I doubt their reason for having dreads has to do with that.

whatever you know.

ma dreadies

[rajking86]

^^Sexy :p

[rajking86]

Damn, and you're from The Netherlands...I think I'm in love..........

[rastabill89]

[rastabill89]

ballin the first people with dreads wernt black the first person was samnson you know samson form the bible do reaserch man befor you talk and sound ignorant

[mynameismike0]

whos to say samson was white?

[ScarlettCrush]

no dude, sampson was from the middle east. Notice people there are not white.
I already apologized for being harsh, maybe ya'll should too.

[ScarlettCrush]

ps. stepford wives are programmed by men to be the ideal woman, so thanks.

[rastabill89]

see thats not what i said i said the first person to have dreads was samson and hes not BLACK i didnt say he was white

[ScarlettCrush]

lets just say we don't even know if this person was real, and no one here was around back then to verify. Technically cavemen and apes where the first ones to have dreds. I'm not saying don't get them, it depends on what you look like as to whether dreds would look good on you and do prepare to get judged when you get them. If you want to deal with the steriotype people force on you from your hairstyle choice well...here it is and it seems like ya'll are mad at others for your choice.
You are not better than anyone else because you have dreads and you are not judgmental of someones looks. You are judging others, we all do based on appearances, it's a fact of life.

and some people look excellently hot with dreads, like srendaen.
chicks (the right chicks) with dreds look very hot.

and also, I am very tolerant of different appearances, I used to design goth and alternative clothing. I dealt with many models who had dreds of every color, even ones of yarn. it is all good, but it gets you judged specially by the straight world and police. This is your first very mild dose of it....good luck.
you asked what people thought...you got it. Seems like anyone who doesn't agree is a stuck up bitch to ya'll. I never insulted you personally yet that's what I got back for pointing out the downsides to ya. Nice attitude dreadies.

[BalliN]

@ billyboy ...

i never said black ppl were the first with dreadlocks..im just hinting that white guys with dreadlocks look like douche bags. and women with dreadlocks look like feminist lesbians that have a dislike with bathing and overall hygiene upkeep.

Yes I totally agree! You are judged the moment you are seen, but there is a difference in people who are stuck on that first judgement and the others who have the ability to think a bit further and change their first judgement.
It's all about how you present yourself, walk straight, smile, speak clearly, smell nice, clothing is washed and etc. So even the ones that are stuck on that first judgement may even go: yakk its ashame she has dreads but damn does she look good. (or he :P )

either way the ones that havent got the ability to think past their judgement, are not even worth my presence. I'll lead my life the way I am doing now anyways.

you know scarelette if you would have said this instead of your other first post I sooooooo wouldn't have over reacted like I did. hehe.

And I still stand by the point of it being slightly different in other countries. Police over here sure ain't the same thing as over there in the usofa.
Over here, the dutch, are known as big mouths, but thats ok. i get billions of questions a day on how I got my hair this way. ( I live in a religious (christian)town). I explain to them how it's done and what it's called. Some wanna touch others go: whow. And many just shrug and go on with their shopping.(I work behind a till).

oh and thanks for the HOT comments :)

[rastabill89]

What?! Where did you pull that "fact" out of?

True Rastas don't care for the white man because they're the ones who sell marijuana for money, they make profit on it. Rastas believe that MJ should be free, not for money. That's why SOME of them dislike the white man.

Racist? Shut up.

[dreadydrug]

i can't be arsed to read the whole thread so if i repeat summin then..........fuck it.
I GOT DREADS!!! u can wash them! you can get them STARTED in less than a day & they are quality! anyone want dreads or are have trouble with theirs i recomend going to this site (at least to read the FAQs) www.dreadheadhq.com

[rastabill89]

I got over like 200 rastafarians on myspace, at least half or more Black and they dont care that im white, They like me becouse im only 16 and already folowing the faith and thats not true at all thats the dumbest thing i ever herd every dread represents a year in slavery where the Hell did you hertr that?

[dreadydrug]

it represents the roots of their anscestors (i think) family tree & stuff. back to africa, back to mi roots.

[rastabill89]

rastas belive everyone is from africa even the white dudes becouse africa is the birth place of mankind

[Ae...]

Generally, throughout history the white man has always wanted to monopolize everything in sight for the prospect of money, gold, or whatever else may be of value...this will continue well after we have passed I imagine. That aside, if your claim is accurate, then I must have a lot more 'rasta' in me than I was aware. I haven't taken any time out to scrutinize the religion, but I have always thought that marijuana should be a gift of sorts passed from one man to the next. For example, I have given marijuana away to people I knew just because they may have gone without longer than myself. I am just that type of person; some people may call me a fool.

Back to subject, I have long contemplated on whether or not to get dreadlocks. I came to the conclusion that I probably would not enjoy the attention gained for getting them, also the fact that they don't fit my personality (in my opinion). I will just stick to my long so-called "Hippie hair".

Oh yeah, it was not my intention to make generalizations against the white man. It's just you can read history and see for yourself, they are usually at the root of a lot of problems.

[freakoutcast]

yo its been 7 months since i quit brushing my hair and my dreads are coming along very well and alot of girls like them their always asking me if they can toucn them and shit

Holy crap there are some people making rash remarks!

Owell fuck it I agree with rastabill89 that chicks dig dreads(not all, but alot do)! I don't know where the haters are from, but where i'm at chicks flock to me and ask if they can touch them. Hell all I have to do is walk through the mall or any public place and at least a few girls will just come right up to me. I've had way more dates since i've had my dreads. I don't even half to do the work they come to me.

so I guess to each there own!

not white man, more like rich people and politicians are at the root of a lot of problems.

[Ae...]

That is sort of what I was implying. Sorry if it wasn't clear. It's just that from what I have read, these aristocrats happen to be predominately white.

When I typed my first reply I had the Europeans "founding" of the Americas in mind. It creates a sense that the only thing they saw in America was money in form of resources.

[Smpthy4TheDevil]

i used to have dreadlocks; i'm a chick, who does shave, and does know the joys of personal hygeine. my hair neither stunk nor looked gross. i showered/washed my hair on a regular basis. i may not be "high maintenance" but i'm not a grimy slob.
