This is bugging me so much. I don't really ever mind getting asked stupid questions about my hair by non-dreadies because they just don't know, and since I'm rocking locks I might as well be happy to educate too. I don't mind explaining twice a day that yes, I do wash my hair. That's fine. What REALLY bugs me is when dready people give stupid false information out all the time So when I answer "yes, I do wash my hair" someone on the other side of the room says "really? 'Cos you shouldn't; my cousin has dreads and she says if you wash dreads you get mould 'cos shampoo reacts with the wax" or whatever other ssssshit. AAAARGH.
Fact: People with dreads are always rasta. So this means you can shout out in the street "EEYY RASTA GIRRRRLL!!" No.
I swear to god, the jamaican guys in town think it's ok to start hitting on me from across the street because I'm half black and have dreadlocks...
There's a dreadlocked tramp in Manchester who greets every dreadhead with "Heyyy Rasta man" then asks for money. lol
One of these jamaican guys walked beside me for a bit and was shouting "YOU AIN't FOR REAL, YOU AIN'T FOR REEEEALL!!"
It is kind of funny that dreads are associated so strongly with Rastas, when the original Rastas did not grow dreads. They grew their beards to look like Haile Selassie. From the little bit of research that I did it looks like rastas got the idea for locks from immigrants from India. I sometimes hear people say that you shouldn't grow locks if you aren't a rasta. It's just hair!
"Hey, if you didn't crocheted them, then they'll never be real dreads!" I get that a LOT or "people with dreads never get jobs" and the always wise advice "you should put eggs on them so they don't fall apart" (Whaat?)
Thats Like Saying You Can't Have A Buzz Cut Unless Your In The Army/Navy/Airforce. Nobody Has Said Anything About Rasta To Me Yet, But Occasionally I See A Couple Of Very Black Guys *jamacian i think* And One Always Checks Out My Hair And The Corners Of His Mouth Curl Slightly With A Wry Grin, So I Guess It's Going To Happen One Day.... Cheers Glen.
The comment I get most from friends/new people I meet is "Do you have to redo them everyday?" My drunk friend last night kep saying "omg.. its like.. hair... but in chunks... like.. its all together... but.. its still hair.... omg". She repeated this at least 3 times during the evening ^^
Whaaat the hell... What a complete retard. What did you do? My aunty the other day told me that white peoples dreads will eventually detach and fall out because they don't have the same hair type as black people.. But she can be stupid and make no sense.
I was walking along the street minding my own business and he just starting shouting at me!! When I noticed he was walking a bit close I did pretend to look for something in my bag, to deter him from mugging me or something xD BUT MAN that was crazy. He walked with me for about 20-30 meters before he gave up.. I just kept quiet 0.o people were staring too xD oh the joys of my town
last night the guy at the gas station asked me if i burned my hair and if i put mud in it. thats a new one for me. of course, i politely corrected him and repped all dreadies in the process.
Never been able to do that. I mean I can poach eggs in a poacher but never by the water stirring method.
