Weirdest comment you've gotten on your dreads?

What are some weird comments you've gotten about your hair? For me, it's probably "Can I keep your hair in a pillowcase if you shave your head?"

I also tend to get weird looks everywhere I go... Of course, I got that before I had dreads, too, but now I get people whispering to each other as I walk by.

 

oh of course

you crusader you

 

ur black.
im sure u dont get weird looks because of your hair.

 

True...

 

weirdest comment musta been from charles mansons nephew who followede me around all night at a party calling me uncle charley

that or ..i used to live in a pretty bad crack hood and 10 year olds carried guns and shit ..one nighgt was with a couple freinds and about 6 young kids..maybe 9-12 years old start harrassing my freinds then one pulls a gun and starts demanding theyre money
i dont think any of us had any money and we basicly strarted laughing at em told em to put the gun awzay before they got hurt
the 1 with the gun points it at me and demands i empty my pockets and the oldest (or at least tallest) kid goes all wide eyed and says.. dont rob him..hes a holey man they got powers..lol
i guess he was afraid id put some voodoo spell on him or something

 

never had a weird comment

 

Not me, but my brother......Ok, My friend at my old school was walking behind my brother, (who has crazy amazing dreads) and these two black guys walk by and say 'Whoa, that is my perception of Jesus Christ!'

He was very popular at my school. I guess white guys with dreads in Tampa is just unheard of. Really, this school had 3000+ students, and there was only a few dreadlocks worth mentioning...Most are the pencil thin wax sticks.
But for white people with dreadlocks, or any race with white-style dreadlocks, there was just my brother. And this girl who had nasty twists of greasy hair and wax. She kept her bands in for months.

 

I had three different sets (lack of a better word) of elderly couples compliement my boots and hair today. thought that was pretty weird as I didn't think old folk would realli be into dreads and dc martans.

 

SE! Great to see you posting!

Um... Not had my dreads long enough but my weirdest came from my mother who started talking about weird scalp insects at a table in a restaurant.

 

I had a lady glare me DOWN! like a raw dirty look and it was while I was sitting eating a sandwich and having a coffee at auntie craes with my ex and she just gave me the stink eye... like wtf? haha

 

docs! I used to have some.

I went to my grandma's 80th bday a few months ago, all the old people were going nuts over my hair and clothes! I felt like Judy Jetson but maybe I was just high. They thought my tights were tattoos lmao.

 

"Do you wash your hair in a bucket?" is my weirdest comment.

 

Remember when I said my brothr was a popular guy at my school?
Well, (believe it or not) it was as if his godliness was not to be spoken to, so every one with a question or comment came to me to let it out (because I am the sister)
So, entire CLASS PERIODS have been devoted by the students to yelling across the room at me all these stupid stupid things. I never answered anyone anything about dreadlocks unless I deemed them worthy, like I wouldnt explain anything to someone who is asking me if my brother ever showered or put mayonnaise in his hair, But I would have a conversation with a friend or seriously interested person...I've had people come up to me and talk about 'the dreadlock kid' (my brother) without knowing I am his sister, and say all this made up stuff about him. I had people tell me he moved here from california (lie) and lives in the woods (lie) and had a guru in china do his hair (lie)...
It is a great joy to me people talking about him when they dont know that I am his sister. I dont tell them otherwise. Its so sad its funny.

But, I've heard more crazy stuff than you would BELIEVE!

 

proberly summut daft from my mum but cant recall

 

Wow, lol. People aren't -that- bad around me...

Mmm, Aunite Craes... *Drool*

 

I just got my dreads today (back combing) and already i got dirty looks from almost everyone who walked by. Maybe because i was barefoot too.

 

or you has the fuzz^

i have gotten all of two weird comments from strangers:
1)the nation of islam guy who tried to sell me a paper and then told me to "bush it out now before it gets matted, it's just not good" and proceeded to suggest i do it to my boyfriend. my bf went off on a rant about the nation.
2)one older lady asked if it was my real hair.

 

The fuzz?

 

"Fint hår" ....not so odd in itself, but most of you probably don't get comments in Norwegian

 

surprisingly.. no comments yet, that I can recall. and I live in montana :-o

I feel kind of gypped.
