Haha, that would explain a lot.... I am thinking of doing dreads again today, the right way, but I don't know if I am going to want them in the future. And I never want to be bald so.....who knows.
I'm not Rastafari, so I don't see any other reason to get dreads really than just to have different hair. I will have these for the rest of my life, and I'm willing to live with that. I'm not doing it cause it's "cool", I'm doing it for a change. When did dreads become "cool" anyway? I remember in the mid 90's dreads were a thing that people made fun of and I thought many people still did that today.
they're "cool" among subcultures such as.... this.... place.... er, anyway, it aint like ya HAVE to have em fer the rest of yer life.... mine didn't last. since yer a boy ya can cut em off, ya know. i doubt you'd want em the rest of yer life.
Actually I do see them as a form of art, but I took em out again. They just don't look good with hair this short, and I only had 9 of them(which was still more than the first time I did it. I'm gonna get them some day, my body is a canvas.
