dreadlock truth (Ongoing Debate)

no offence but your gf must be kinda gross by now

but you tell people to do research to not make the mistake your gf made well the probs with that is dreadheadhq and knottyboy may be just 2 companies selling wax and advocating its use, but, they have an affiliate program that literaly floods the net with thousands and thousands of sites all claiming to be dreadlock wadvice sites all suggesting wax all weith links to dreadheadhqw or knottrboy
so doing research unless your luckt ro find sites with truth you end up being bombarded with lkies and believe that wax is not onlu ok but is the right or only way to go
how the hell could your gf go 4 years using wax and not realize its a mistake?not come accrooss any sites telling her what a screw up it was?
research os onl;y useful when the truth is easier to find then the lies

no offence meant again but
you dont live with your gf do u?\
i just keep shittering when i think abouit the sticky mess on the pillows

seriusly why would she go on using wax for 4 years?

can we do an autopsy on 1 of her dreads?

 

dude. w t f is your problem.
srsly, act your age.
it doesnt take a lot of effort to be respectful. in fact, it takes less effort to say nothing than go off on some indecipherable rant in which you spew negativity on people who have a different approach than you. not to mention, everyones heard it before.

 

fnck man that shit is uncalled for. man i hate these damn dreadelitist. soaring eagle you are not a fncking god, you are a dirty old man with dreads. i hate it how so many people look up to him and his dreads.
oh btw soaringeagle do you have a girlfriend that likes sleeping with your nasty dreads

oh soaring act your age.

remember people he is no man nor woman just a child. so dont take his pitty insults seriously.

 

srry dude i fely bad about sayin all that (altho do still wonder about the waxy mess on the pilloewws) i was in a very bad mood that day, someone had just stolen every cent i had everuything i saved up for months to move with and was pretty screwed
i shouldnt have even been on here that day cause was in such a bad mood

but..the title of the thread is dreadlock truth..and anyone whois used wax for 1 year can tell ya how gross it is and what a big mistake it is

just for fun remove as much wax as u can from 1 dread (if theres even a way of removing 4 years of buildup without removing the whole dread) and just see how much nicer that dread will be if she doesnt like the nice clean dread how hard will it be to get it xaked with wax and dirt again?

u bet ya anything after u get 1 subgle dread wax free if thats even possible now then bioth you and her will agree that the wax dreads are ijndeed gross
+you just need 1 clean dread for comparison

 

"Dreadlocks dreadlocks dreadlocks dreadlocks dreadlocks dreadlocks."

From Soaring Eagles brain.

 

chill the fuck out EVERYONE. soaring eagle is very proud of his dreads, they are a tremendous part of his life and he has a great deal of wonderful things to teach.

and to LEARN. everyone has his own dread method. it is good to get advice from many sources while dreading. while i personally would never advocate the continual use of wax, some people do swear by it. i don't think it is fair the way these companies exploit people, but if you don't do your research... live and learn.

and for those of you who have great wax dreads, good for you. you are living proof that everyone is different, and if you are happy with your dreads... i suppose that is great.

i think the most important thing is to keep your dreads clean. it is really shitty that people think dreadies are dirty when your scalp is likely healthier than their chemical-filled ones of course, this is perpetuated by knotty folks who really ARE dirty... my mission is to spread the word that dreads are CLEAN!

 

World Peace

 

that too

sick of all these people who claim to be hippies being really rude, calling people names like poseur.. for god's sake! i don't even really think of myself as a hippie or anything but i embrace the hippie mentality more than these hateful jerks. very sad guys, grow up and be confident enough in yourself that you don't have to rag on other people.

i really should repost this in another certain thread....

 

Waaah!!!

 

dreads are dreads, even if there full of wax..crocheted or any other way. do you think people without dreads and a closed mind can tell the difference...you'll take shit from them no mater what, thus the same lessons are learned. that's the F#$%ing truth!

 

Big up de soaring eagle dem!I am with you brethren.Wax sux and gets sooo stinky.I started with a baby bum bald head in Nov 1999.Today my locks have reached my buttocks and I have 88 of dem puppies.Dreadlocks are the hairs NATURAL state.As it says in Revelation "the twisted hairs shall rule the Earth".This does not mean hair that has been kakked together with a comercialised goop!I am a celt,white people arnt supposed to grow locks easily but this is jive,as I had a head of 6inch staunch locks within a year.I never used string,or material I waited knowing they would come.Dadaja,you want people to act their age and in the same breath imply soaring hav no empress.Take a leaf from your own book and try practising what you preach.You want the truth?..You cant handle the truth dreads are Natural,Wax is NOT.The oil that naturally occurs in our hair and scalp is all we need as it is all Jah provide.Those who have not the patience to wait are nothing but trendites who merely ignorantly think it cool to have dreads.Without taking into account the actual reasoning behind them,including Nazarite,I-tal,Rastafari,Celtic lore,Hindi lore etc.These are the real resons behind getting locks.Any motivation based not on belief is nothing but FASHION.All ya batty think it different,gunshot ya forget.Ras Tafari.

 

real reason..haha. again an opinion, fashion is a reason, maybe not as justified as a religious reason according to our societies morals (and yours), but a reason none the less. why don't you just let it be?

hate all you want, it wont get any of us anywhere.

 

i know im late on the ball here, but a lot of people need to learn to desensitize themselves' to other people's opinions on their lifestyles. we have locks people, this is one of the most eye catching ways of having hair short of a mohawk. everyone around you talks about your hair, or at least thinks about it unless locks are really common in your community. how can you survive that when you can't survive someone letting something slip over the internet? this form of communication makes it difficult to leave any kind of footprint on someone's life, while i'm reading some of the comments here and it sounds like some people are totally devastated.

if you even suspect someone is taking a shot at you, why fire back? you determine whether or not you get shot in the face by the context of the your reply.

while everyone is entitled to their own opinion, they're not allowed to make crap up, or at least get away with it. people are mixing discussions with facts about the certain ways of living with locks and the philosophy behind the ways of living with locks. you can argue, or rather debate facts, compare pros to cons and analyze the difference between methods, but you can't for philosophy. you can't argue the spirituality behind locks because locks are hair and hair is different to everyone. we all have different values and beliefs, and we can't beat each other over the head with them. feel free to battle with concrete evidence though.

if i'm speaking too broadly, or not being specific enough, here is an example of what i mean. natural/handsoff vs. wax+backcomb. the natural method takes longer to produce results but is a lot cheaper to do. the wax method is almost instant but costs a pretty penny.

there, you have hard evidence to discuss, but what happens when you try to talk about the values behind those methods? the wax method produces hair stuck together, not hair locked together, that's absolutely terrible in the eyes of some people. those aren't "real" locks. other people might not even care. "who cares, it looks the same right" then you have hardcore natural people going on about how you lose the journey of getting locks and just end up with candle sticks on your head. the wax heads then argue that the natural people look like they have a bird's nest on their head. oh look, now we're already out of the subject on locks, but on something bigger, physical appearance and social status.

the values we hold with our hair totally transcends the hair itself and pulls in much bigger subjects like social status, religion, race - things you can't stack up easily or are alien to other people and you can't compare them. then there are things that aren't even tangible. irrational connections we have with things that we can't even begin to comprehend, let alone explain then try to argue for.

hell maybe i'm over analyzing, but its not uncommon for people to start going at it here with no end in sight. why? because there is no end, and when people can't find ways to express their opinions or views, they end up getting frustrated and take shots at each other. some of these are subtle, others are huge and hard to miss. you add a sensitive crowd to the mix and you get more drama than you need in a board about hair knotted together.

 

^^^ Good man.

 

Thanks Glacius.Broad indeed,definitive definitly not!Apart from giving the clear impression of understanding boths side of the fence,you have done nothing but shown that you are a fence sitter.And by doing this have trivialised this ongoing arguement.Do not trivialise what is considered sacred to some(and of course merely fashion to others), it instantly deems you as not fit for this arguement,and voids your opinion as it is based merely on your own speculations and not what is real.Price has nothing to do with locks.As REAL locks can NOT be purchased like a pretty trinket.Real Dreadlocks are naturally formed no ifs buts or maybes.If you have purchased what I call "shitlocks" due to the smell and texture you are a sellout and have personally disrespected all who have "earned" their locks.Its down right demeaning!All good things come to those who wait,if you cant wait then you cheat?Is this the meaning of dreadlocks these days cheating and dishonesty(you say you rock the locks but your rocking a lie).So what if Natural dreads have a bit of fuzz!Bob Marleys hair was fuzzy as on top and it was because of him that most of you aspired to getting dreads.Ahem his were natural and they looked wicked.He did not sing "up a cane river to wash my dread and make them smell like wet dog" OR "up a cane river to wash my dread only to have them fall out and come unstuck", did he?Trends are a part of the bonfire that is the Babylon system.So all ye shall witness when Babylon fall.ALL YE SHALL WITNESS WHEN BABYLON FALL!

 

Of course someone who quotes the words of Guns and fucking Roses should be revered at the grand old age of nineteen.Fashion is of course a reason,but a disrespectful one,as everyone who "earned" their locks the natural way are automatically put in the same category as shitlocks and stinking rocklocks by those who arent in the know.And whether it is meant that way or not it is degrading to those who worked so hard to get a natural result.This shit is over your head man.Its not an opinion its a fact, Natural is REAL,purchased wannabes are FAKE.That is FACT!I dont hate I state.Take your Natty hating self somewhere else before you bite off more than you can chew.I am only getting started on this topic.

 

Just please take the time to read this page before trying to step up.Because this will disarm your notions of granduer about wax an ting.Wax is shit check it out for yourself

what up with all the hostility man
people have their reasons, just because it's not the same as someone else's doesn't mean it's wrong

 

You would feel hostile if you had felt personally disrespcted too.Mine are natural and I went the hard yards,to have some waxy checkerhead act like they are anywhere near in the same league as me, is a Bumbaclaat insult!Stop being so damn Politically Correct tell it like it is or not at all.Real is real and fake is fake.
Check it

Down to me bum now nine years of patience an kilos of high grade.And they still arnt where I want them.Bob Marley sang"everyday we pay the price for our rebel sacrifice" not "every day we add the wax to fill in all the cracks".

you've missed the point.

everyone has their own values and beliefs and when you try to enforce your own values on other people, you are trying to control them. for whatever reason, you blind yourself to anything that isn't what you believe in and anything that is different is totally wrong.

i can't stop you from trying to project your mind onto the minds of others but i can tell you nothing will come of it. people disrespecting you? opinion. cheating? opinion.

i havent even put my opinion on what side of this "argument" (if you call screaming your core beliefs at people and having them bounce off as nonsense an argument) im on because it is pointless. people are going to do what they do, and speaking of trivial, what is more trivial than letting hair grow? you may disagree, but there you go, you already have a conflict of core interests that can never be solved with anything short of an epiphany, slavery or a new hair-centric dictatorship.
