How can I be a hippie...

I'd rather not, thank you! How rude to think that you get to be a hippie by maintaining a low level of personal hygiene. Personally, I shower daily and I'm one of the hippest beings on G*d's green earth.

 

Why G*d?
Why not God?

 

i suggest bathing. seriously.

i really, really don't smell, but i'm 14, not 17, and female. yesterday i realized i hadn't showered since thursday ( i kept putting it off till tommorow). i didn't smell even a little. yay me, but a) use deodorant. and b) at least take some time to spin around. if you really don't want to do that whole unnatural thing, then find a lake/river/pond/cess pool and BATHE IN IT! or douse yourself in pathcouli and lavender. whichever is more convienient for you.

 

i just deal with my smell. or bathe, even when its annoying

 

hair doesnt really "wash itself" but the natural oils build back up (which are good) and that keeps it cleaner. they arnt greasy whatsoever nor do most of them smell.

and how are dreads done "right?"

 

There are endless amounts of threads in the Hip Forums that have been created on this topic alone along with endless amounts of links that have been thrown around to help people who are looking for the right way to dread their hair.

Are you honestly going to ask the SAME question many have asked and many have replied to so many times before, again?

That is all i have to say.

i understand wehre he's comin from. he's right that back in the day all the freaks living in communes and stuff didn't regularly bath, but that doesnt' mean you have to. at least ever 2 days take a quick one man

 

Duh, Ah U 4got duh S&H.

 

The point isn't the smell, the point is the lifestyle. Hippies generally don't espouse the ideals of bad hygiene, they espouse the ideals of breaking away from society and living in a way where showering every day isn't possible. So bathe.

 

Whoa! Whoa! Easy there turbo. The whole hippie thing was a poke of fun at ALL the threads that pop up "Hey how can I be a hippie!?" Its a state of mind, not material possesions or physical apperance. How rude that you read things on a base shallow level. =D All I wanted to know was that little perfume stuff that covered up strong odors. CrystalStarr was the only one who even remotely tried to help
If its already been said, your just being redundant
Wax in dreads is a big boo-urns too

 

i dont have a bath

 

I take a 20 minute shower every day.

 

Well back in my day (never thought I'd say that!!)....

When I lived at Earth Peoples Park we built a canvas sauna and would heat up rocks for hours in a fire then scoop them up in a shovel and put them in the sauna pit, take our clothes off, pile in and sprinkle water on the rocks creating loads of steam, get all sweaty and hot, then run out and jump in the river.
Then we would swim to the other side cover ourselves with clayey mud, sit on the bank ,dry ,then jump back in the icy river...
Someone always had a bit of Dr. Bronners (still use it).

I was on the road quite a bit but would always try to keep myself as clean as possible, back then it wasn't hard to find someplace you could crash for the night or a few days and use a shwer and get some food. Alot of freaks around to help you out in most places.

But I have never equated reekiness with hipdom.
But your right Darky, there are alot of youngins trying to find their hipness on the outside......
Its definately an inny thing.
teepi
