lol yea u can buy em, but whats the point? theyre still fake..dreads arent so much about how u look, but how you feel, they are the roots that connect you to the earth, & 1 freind called them spiritual antenas, so fake dreads are pointless.. if your only reason for wanting dreads is to look cool, theres other ways to look cool..but if you have real reasons, fake dreads are useless
i have tried fake dreads and it looks like something i don't wanna see again.. so i agree with soaringeagle there is onlyu one kind of dreads and thats the real ones
the idea of fabricating an image bothers me a little. I'm all for trying to make your insides match your outsides. I get that there is a certain beauty in showing people a part of what's inside by your choices in dress and grooming. Or even if just selfishly finding ways to be comfortable in your own skin. It's all cool as far as I'm concerned. But plastic surgery, hair extensions, wigs, caked on makeup..... it all makes me wonder if it's less an expression of who's inside of us and more of an attempt to cover them up.
i totaly agree with soaring eagle, wats the point? i didnt get dreads to look cool or piss my mom off, but to connect more with nature and my surroundings, they make my spirit happy, and i feel so free,its so hard to explain, im not vain at all, and i think to get dreads for the sake of vanity is just fucked up! and crayola, maybe u should smoke some weed, maybe then u would loosen up a bit and not be so closeminded lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just might not be ready for the commitment, i did the real dread thing- and my head itched like no tomorrow, so i was just trying to use my options.. you people are so touchy
For the itchiness maybe try putting some rosemary oil or tea tree oil on your scalp. The itch will go away eventually, but it's annoying while it's here. I personally haven't tried the false dreads, but I've considered it. They're just very expensive and not worth it IMO. Though, I think that when I go to clubs or something I might try to make fake ones using different colored yarns just for a funky look to add to the dreads i already have. *hugs* Jessie
ye i understand that ur not ready for commitment, ahah i dont mean to be so touchy as u call it, but dreads are something spiritual for us, not a fashion statement, but i mean, its ur hair, but they are VERY expensive and like amethystrse said, NOT WORTH IT!!!!
i rememeber when i didnt have dreads, i hated my hair and i could never find nething to do with it. and it made me mad haha but then when i got my dreads iw as so happy! idk im glad i did it. If your thinking about it, just go for it. deal with the itches for the couple weeks it lasts haha and youll be so happy you did it. plus, i dont see the point of fake dreads... but if u want them go ahead haha. peace
There's dread falls... You see a lot of pseudo-goth chicks with dreadfall pigtails. I personally don't like 'em too much. But whatever twirls your beanie.
"spiritual antenas" reminds me of a friend she was trippin pretty seriously - in the best of ways and she kept saying everyones hair was actually antenas... and i was thinking its like your dreads some how keep locked in them things secrets, moments, occassions, prayers, wishes and so forth. i like to think of it that way, gives them a whole more beautiful deeper meaning... and i like it that way!
1) im not an artist and i dont cry 2) yea its easier to label hippies than other pple, u guys brought it on yourself. and no offense, realyl, cuz u're funny 3) my point was : of course if someone waants fake dreads, u hippies will go "but dreads have a meaning" haha its sso stupid; first and foremost, dreads are a LOOK. trhen maybe, they have a meaning
well telling from your gallery you like to draw and dreads are to a point a look but fakes are fakes like big boobs are nice but fakes are fakes and not the real thing. i think fake dreads at the easy way out and i disrespect that.. and why are you here you dont even have dreads and all the people here arent hippies im not and i harldy ever smoke im talkin maybe 2 times a year you probly smoke more than me. and if were funny does that all make us stoners? what about camedians? so ive said my peace. and everyone crys dont b.s yourself
