Weirdest thing you have found or had in your dreads/hair?

?. When i had my long hair and was about 2 months into the neglect process, i actually found a dead bait fish in my hair 2 days after taking my boat out swimming/fishing in the ocean. Was nasty and smelly. whats the weirdest thing you have found in your hair, or even just kept as decoration or souviner?

One of my friends used to put anything in or around his dreads. Nuts bolts shells, strings, soda can tabs.... everything except an actual bead lol.

 

feather seem to pop out often. pencils and spliffs are also quite common.
wierdest? chess pieces and condoms, still in their wrapper of course.

 

Ive had some quarters stuck up there, uhm..snack foods, and the like...

 

had

3 glass chillums and a chillum made from a phirahna jawbone
bells that tingle
stones (wire wrapped)
feathers rings n assorted things

found

enough mud to make them 3 times theyre thicckness
enough of those lil prickly ball seedpod things that come from burdock i think to pull all my dreads into 1 massive prickly mass
preying mantises
any earlking i tried putting in my ear ended up leaving my ear and hoppijng in a dread
my keys
someone elses keys
beads i put in but had disapeared for years
a christmass ornamint
tape and assorted things with velcro (anythin with velcro thats been anywhere in the house at 1 point or another was found in my dreads)
small trees (damn i got alot tajngled in there over the years and rtryin to think of all of em hurts my brain)

lets just say its the 1st place i look when im missing something (except the tv remote)

 

Dude, soaringeagle, you are my hero.

 

lol i love your list soaring eagle!
and lol at bait fish hahaha

i cant remember all the things ive found so far. a few pairs of earrings, hay, lots of feather from pillows and duvets, lots of bits of trees, grass, sticks and moss... oh and staples- my brother thought it would be funny to empty a stapler into my hair when i wasnt looking. i was finding them for weeks. im sure theres plenty of other things that arnt coming to me right now.
i really want to get my nape pierced but i know my dreads would just eat the jewellery lol

 

my dreads love to eat earring backs. i've lost i don't know how many pairs of studs since i put them in.

fuzzies and strings from my flannel sheets.

my lover's blonde curly hair.

rubber bands (i use them on occasional root areas or tips when having trouble with them)

itsy bitsy shreds of paper.

that's about all i can think of for now. as they get longer i know it'll be more stuff! especially over the summer when i'm out of doors more often!

lol... soaring eagle... i love that your locks eat car keys... that just had me laughing hysterically!

 

hmmm, i havent really had anything interesting.

although i did find a money spider dangling from one of my dread one morning.

meh, theyre young and i suppose i have many years yet to find weird and wonderful things lurking in my knots ^____^

 

You really found a praying mantis up in those locks?

I had a mantis entity approach me a few months ago in a vision.

They are extremely wise creatures.

 

hahaha, stalk i tease my lover about "mantis vision" all the time. ok... the story.

one morning, shortly after we moved in together, we woke up and he looks at me and says "we have a visitor" with this huge grin on his face. now keep in mind, he has perfect eyesight, i am blind as a motherfucking bat. he says "look there, on the covers, we have a mantis visitor.

then he procedes to say "hello mantis friend," and start talking to this mantis. i, blind without my glasses, look over and scream "that's not a mantis you dipshit, that's a cockroach!" and so it was, a huge ass cockroach, sitting on top of our covers.

but metaphorically/metaphysically, it was really interesting, because he is an eternal optimist and always sees the best in everyone and every situation... he sees a mantis rather than the outward "reality" of the cockroach.

anyways... that whole mantis topic brought that up in my mind and i thought i would share it!

 

I haven't really found anything weird in my dreads. Just bits of grass and some of my dogs hairs become part of my dreads.

 

cockroaches are strange....
I havn't figured out what they're doing here,
yet.
Many people meet them in ayahuasca visions
I have not.

 

p.s.
they fucking creep me out

 

CLOTHES HANGERS!!!
they are my worst nightmare when im cloth shopping, il kneel down to take a closer look only to realise that my dreads have take off half the clothing on the clothing rack behind me!

 

Hhaha i didn't realize how many interesting things your dreads can pick up.

 

my dreads don't pick up much yet, but i'm sure they'll get there.

 

Can't say mine pick up stuff but I have the head of a Lego man as a bead if that counts as something weird I have had in my hair?

 

my appartment keys
my lighters
once i found my guitar pick

usually something gets stuck every time i get drunk and fall asleep on stuff when coming home.. unlock my door, empty my pockets all over the bed, sleep on the stuff i had in my pockets.. oops, the stuff i had in my pockets is now in my hair.. the keys most of the time

 

they are indeed. the residential home i work at currently has a roach infestation... it has been interesting for me to see them on a daily basis, (and i'm supposed to kill them i hate doing that) and try to feel what it is their main purpose is on earth. they creep me out too lol! they grow extraordinarily fast. one day all i'll see is itsy bitsy ones, and the next day they'll all be huge ass momma jammas. anywho... they're weird creepy bugs, but i still don't like to kill them.
