Dreads. How to?

[Tripco]

Something more about dreadlocks through history. First ever person with dreads was probably some caveman or, if you like, pre-historic man/woman who had hair long enough. First ever historic person (of course, if you believe he was historic person) was St. John the Baptist. He had long hair (like most of Judean people at that time) and he lived in the desert and there's no brushes, no scissors, no combs, so it's easy to figure out why he had dreads.
I remember some history lessons from my highschool, about first Byzantine records of South Slavic tribes arrival to Balkans: they wore "snakes" in their hairs. I doubt they realy had snakes in hair, but that most probably were dreadlocks. And in old Serbian monasteries, on the frescoes, it can be clearly seen people with locks.

I rarely remember my dreams. Last night I dreamed everyone around me had dreadlocks. Funny stuff.

most caucasion people look like goofs with dreads and I've never seen asians with dread but that would not look very good I would imagine

.

white guys with dreads in general is kinda strange to me.

at the end of the day its a hairstyle....some ppl understand that, and some ppl take it far too seriously.....
and im still not talking about proper rastas...just ppl with dreads who put on some kind of airs..... theres theiveing dickhead with dreads just as theirs osme great ppl.
and lets fce it, the white ppl who try to be/wish they were black isnt exactly limited to dreads is it..... can anybody say J-roc lol theirsmillion of these muppets out there
Ive had em twice and gettting new ones soon..and ive never said A'ight, aks, or suddenly stared talking in a jamaicn accent......, im not interested in an ital diet, i dont claim to be pious righteous or anything....ad i dont think dreads give me some ""deep connection to reggae music" I like dreads, simple as....and some ppl dont..... some ppl like their heair short, some long, some dye it all different colours, some shav he ****er off...it called personal taste/choice... and not every1 who chooses to have dreads is trying be anything but themselves.
I think hair gel is pathetic and spending ages getting it perfectly straight but i dont ridicule my bro for using gel and doing that..... Its his choice and his taste dreads, nose/nipple/lip peircing,and whatever clothes i like is my choice, neither are any more or less valid.
I think ironing/pressing ur clothes is the biggest waste of time but i dont take the mickey out of someone who like everything just so.....

any who says their wy is the "authentic" way is one of the ones trying be somethingtheir not if you ask me.....dreadlock nazi's lol i know a guy who just stopped brushing his hair an didnt tie it up...and he end up with 3 massive ugly fat lumps of matted crap on the end of loose hair...... ppl i know whove had them started by someone who knows what they doning wth a little beezwax root plug and some backcombing to start em off.....they looked a lot better in the long run....... once theyre groing you can just maintain em then but theres nothing wrong with starting them off at all.
the only thing i agree with the dreadlock nazi's about is extensions....lol now that is tacky to get extension dreadlocks(especially when some poor teenage girl in india probably got dragged off the street and her hair forcibly cut off to provide the extensions)

Wow, what a commotion I've stirred up! I am trying to find a shampoo that is "residue free". Is it usually labeled as such on the bottle?

Haha, jeez...so much passion in dreadlocks, especially from nokuy . Well, I decided a while back that I'm just not gonna cut my hair or shave anymore (for a while at least) cuz it seems so......unnatural (for lack of better word) to me. If hair was meant to grow, why cut it? yaknow? But, now that I read this thread, it seems like my hair might grow into dreads if I just leave it alone. Is that true? Not that it's a bad thing or anything, I'm just wondering if it dreads if I only wash it and leave it alone...

wait til we get onto eyebrow plucking....then you'll see passion lol

I wish I could dread my hair.

 

[HotCha]

Yeah, dreadlocks are the best idea ever. Also carry around a big sign that says "I don't have any dope."

From what I've learned, yea it will dread eventually.
