Do dreads annoy you?

I know thats a really open ended question, suffering from lots of stress with deadlines etc and having to back to college
I love my dreads, they have made me a better person, I love the looks I get, I love them so much! Watched Quadrophenia last night, just thought man I miss my old hair !
I'm not going to cut them don't worry, I can't imagine myself without them now! But man sometimes I wish I could have normal hair, get myself into my pinstripe and go for a cruise on my vespa
Give me a talking to please!

 

i've experienced times like that...but then i come here and see everyone's dreads and how beautiful they are.
i could never deal with normal hair again...my dreads have become some kind of median between me and my own spirituality.

 

Got any pics of your dreads?

the only other hair i would ever do would be no hair. for me locks are normal, i put a lot of work into my hair just keeping it from locking. shaved would be the only alternative due to ease of maitenence and the ability to be comfortable in the heat.

locks are just too cool.

 

I was completely bald 2 summers ago, It felt kinda cool, especially the wind on your scalp. Right now, I am trying to grow natural dreads, and am confident that I will achieve my goal.

 

I personally think the dreads make you sexier. Before you were cute, but sexy beats cute.
Oh, your 17? Now I feel like a pedo for calling ya sexy :[

 

I think of chopping them every once in a while.
I know that one day, if not this year then maybe next year or 4 years from now, i'll do it.
And then let them grow back again, naturally.
there's so much energy, mostly good, but some bad, building up in my locks, I've got to let it all go eventually.

 

i know what you mean man, i get thoughts of having "normal" hair again, just to style it, comb it etc, but then i remember that no other hairstyle has ever felt like me, or really suited me

 

yes, sometimes i miss having long, gorgeous curly hair that reflected the sun and blew in the breeze, and i miss styling it like my favorite celebrity or dying it funky colors... but then i remember all those bad frizzy nasty hair days.... and see the way people look at me now... and i look in the mirror and see my dreads taking shape and how well they suit me and i imagine myself when they are fully formed and long and so full of love and life, and then i can't imagine ever going back!

 

Im with ya man, im only 3 months in now and I pretty much told my g/f that she couldnt leave me until their grown and actually look like something resembling a dreadlock. I cant even imagine going up to some girl now with my hat on, taking her back to my place, and then taking my hat off and theres the bird nest I call my hair. Actually, the look on her face would be kind of amusing...but really, where im from there arent too many dread girls walking around so itd be me and my locks keeping each other company for a while.

 

don't leave me please, ha ha ha

 

ahahaha, that was also my thought =]

i think dready people are just sexier anyway.. =]

 

Hehe Thanks Moon doggie & Smelly.
I was having a really shit day yesterday, but don't we all!
100% decided against anything but these dreadies!
Call me vain, I sat infront of the mirror in the bathroom earlier, just went through each one of my dreads, reminding myself of what I loved about them
I love them so!
DirtyGypsy I know what you mean man completely, you would believe me how many girls I have spoken to at parties *puts down hood* and they walk off!
I can't believe I even comtemplated getting rid of them, I would feel like nothing without them.
Oh and Moon doggie im 18 soon, so don't feel like a perve
Thanks folks for all your guidance

I felt like that with my first set. Cut and regretted it. Sure, "dreadlock washing day" is NOT my favourite time of the week but when I think of the shit I've gone through to get my locks. I'd never have normal hair again

 

there's something about dreads that are much more attractive. i've never dated a woman with them so i can't say what it is but it's there.

 

when they weren't mature i wanted to pull them out so bad
or just grab a comb and start combing away:banghead:

luckily i didn't
now i can picture myself without dreadlocks

hah.. when people as how long i want to grow them i tell them until its sweeping the floor behind me.. haha
then i'd just swing my hair around my neck for a natural scarf

wonder how that'll be

 

thats' such a good idea man.

 

i don't have dreads, but they don't annoy me on other people.

i think dreads look really good on most people.

 

So when are you going to be legal :]
