    A little over a year ago I had dreadlocks (I have since picked them out) and People looked at me like I had the plague.
    I was asked really stupid, no-common-sense questions like...
    "Do you smear cow/dog/pig dung in your hair to make it look like that?"
    -Totally, bitch. Thats why I smell like Jasmine and bees wax.
    "How do you brush your hair?"
    -I don't. Thats the whole point.
    "How are you going to get a job?"
    -I have a full-time job working 4 days a week, 10+ hours a day. How are you going to get a job without a brain???
    "So when you smoke pot your hair just does that?"
    -When you live a mundane, unexamined life, does your brain just liquify and trickle out one ear?

    Or I have friends who want dreads and they just stop washing their hair... Fucking nasty. Then their hair doesn't mat- instead they get a flat, gnarled, greasy mess...EW!

    most people around this other little Iowa town think
    my dready beard is interesting . sometimes , tho ,
    i don't want to talk about it and i just say the
    point of it is not to think about it . my niece the
    pro hair-stylist has the hardest time understanding
    this
    because
    with a couple glass beads
    strung in it , i spose it
    is quite stylie and fun when
    dreadies are swinging in the wind but
    no i don't want to discuss it especially with
    a goofy hair-obsessed girl .

    itsa good enough when people say nothing
    and just gently grab hold a dread
    like a handshake . even strangers will
    do this ... which is pleasantly strange .

    Before I let my hair lock I would have been one of those stupid people who asked stupid questions. Although, I wouldn't assume animal poo would ever be used to lock hair, but you really can't blame them. Can't expect everyone to know everything about everything.
