Why do you have/want dreads?

Haha xD I'll post me pic in the 'lets talk about...' thread cus im sure someone will moan at us xD

 

Sorry guys!!!

 

Ya seriously.... sheesh

I originally wanted dreads because I liked how they looked, and everyone that I knew that had dreads I really respected. And I was over taking two hours a day just to be able to not wear my hear in a pony tail.

Now I think my dreads pointme more in the direction I've always been headed..i'm more of an environmentalist and naturalist that ever before... I used to be so caught up in image and how people percieved me... now not so much

And now I get way more compliments on my hair than ever before

 

i recently cut off my dreads- thought i was ready until they were gone. they were about 32 inches long all the way down to my bootie, and super heavy but now having short, straight hair for the first time in a very long time- about 7 years, i really miss my beautiful knotties! i am an artist and one of the things i loved most was the 'project' on my head, where ever i went, all the time to 'work on' whenever i felt like it. it was awesome, i liked every part of the dreading process, and looking on the bright side- i get to start all over again!!
love yourself
love who you are

 

any character: fictional or not, that had dreads struck me as BA ever since I was a little kid. Bob Marley was the biggest influence on me, even before I was 13, but I did not get them until I was no longer under the 'rents roof. I love dem, and I love not "styling" my hair and have it still look hawt.

 

the reason i wanted them is because i thought they were pretty cool and my favorite singer from a band has them, and then after a while i just really got into them and now they are super sickkkkk.

well i am on my way to getting them, but my hair is not long enough to start yet. the only reason i kind of dont want them is because the reactions i would get from other people and if people see you and you have them they automatically think you are a pot head.

 

ive gone throughout just about every other hair style, it makes me look good and i am the only person on my college campus with dreads so individualism is a good reason
