So ladies do you like....

yeah its a result of doing absolutely nothing for 9 years! it is crazy to look at up close. it sux though cuz we live in a somewhat conservative place and so him and i are always getting gawked at!!!! its sooooo annoying! kids are always yelling out..."mom look at that guys hair!" and parents are always shushing their kids when were around. I guess its kinda funny....just gets old after awhile

 

^^Isn't it comfy to rest your head on? Though I seem to remember saying he had a stinky dread problem?

 

That is a bit much for my tastes...but whateva makes someone happy

 

I like congos if the locks are long, say at least to the shoulder blades. My hubby and I both have skinny locks right now, but we are in the process of encouraging some nice thick congos.

 

dude...ur dreads=freakin awesome...tell her to GTFaway from them !!!

 

^^ Thank you Although I would let them congo more if we weren't together, I'm not about to throw my toys out of the pram just because she doesn't like fatter dreads. I am a big believer in compromising, otherwise I don't think we would have been together for so long.

 

Me thinks its time for a new girlfriend.

Mandyland, that's a bit much for me. Not because of how it looks, but it must be awfully difficult to get that clean and dry.

 

haha, nooo I don't think so

 

yes it is hard for them to stay clean and dry! Thats why I haaaaaate it! When that sucka's wet it smells like dog shit!!!! Bwaaaah! Ive made different herbal treatments for him to clean it with but he just doesnt seem to care!
i cant vent anywhere else but here about it too!
hmmmm....
merri i like and respect your ability to compromise with your woman about your dreads! i fear if i say how i truly feel about his that he'll despise me forever! I wouldnt mind the congo so much if he just kept it clean and smelling pretty! Maybe Ill just stuff lavendar in his dread when he's sleeping!

 

Don't get me wrong, I love my dreads how they are now, I would probably just neglect them more if she didn't hate fat dreads so much. I can't say that if I was to let them congo more that I would end up liking it, I might hate it, I don't know, probably never will know either.

 

well...i dont think your dreads could go wrong! Theyre puuuuuurrrrrrrfect!

 

I don't care for them much. My man has one with 3 tips and I think its cute, but huge ones .. I'm not the biggest fan of :/ I think it all comes down to taste. My man likes people when they only have about 6 dreads on their entire head, and i prefer ones with a nice thickness but still have a good amount of locks.

 

Agreed!!!!!

 

I like congo's, but not the ones which cover half the head. I like congo's of 2, 3, 4 smaller ones

 

Really? There are 2 kids at my school that have them, I have talked to them once or twice but they are not in my grade or anything soooo...

 

Well maybe because I am old!

Nope havent seen ANY, not that Virginia does not have any dreadies...think they are up north or closer to the coast maybe. But I am in a hick town full of hillbillies....

 

I see lots of dreadheads when I go to the nearest city, hippy-ville, erm I mean Nelson, and at music festivals.
But hubby and I are the only dreadheads in the small redneck town we live in.

 

merrivale, i love congos.
my man doesnt rip his dreads and he has some really sweet ones which i think look awesome.
i only have a couple myself but i want to encourage more.
i understand compromising though, and in your position i would probably do the same. you have lovely locks already, so it cant be too big of a compromise.

mandy, your mans dreads are sick! i like the way they look and you should post more pics. too bad about how hard it is to keep clean though.

for the record, before i got dreads, i didnt like congos. i remember seeing a guy on the ferry with what i thought were perfect locks (even, no frizz, round tips) but he had one flat congo at the back and i thought it was gross. i wondered why he had let his otherwise awesome dreads be ruined lol.
i dont know when my attitude changed, but when i made my first set of locks i made them fat. i have uber thick hair and i only had 19 locks. i remember someone (a guy i was totally crushing on) comment on the thickness and tell me they were going to take forever to dry. i was like w/e i dont care!

so i an sort of understand her viewpoint (though i cant imagine what i was thinking before when i hated congos)and think if she had dreads she might see it differently.
