What dread category do you fit into?

The dreadhead on a journey; You'll see this guy/girl somewhere like a park or concert, by themselves with tons of bags with them. They'll have a mop of natural dreads on their head and when you try to talk to them they'll explain how they're on a "journey" and it brought them here whether "here" is a nature reserve, a park, or Kanye West concert.

The salon dread; They'll brag about how their dreads are perfect because they got them done for hundreds of dollars at a salon and they use "top of the line beeswax" in their hair. You'll probably find these people at their favourite coffee shop, drinking a $50 cup-of-crapachino while complaining about how people in poor parts of the world live on less then $2 a day and how it's a shame even though they do nothing to help.

The clueless dreadhead; He never talks about his dreads, they might be natural or backcombed, either way the person who has them fails to even notice that they have them, even though they look clean and perfect.

Mr waxie; The sixteen year old who's dreads look like shit because he uses something like honey or motor oil in them and wears them to be "extreme!"

The hippie; The person with a constantly dazed look on their face who, whenever asked about his/her hair simply says "Put tea tree oil in them" and then walks away, looking more dazed than before. They will also probably have shells or other trinkets hanging in their hair. When asked if they went backcombed or neglect they'll simply say "It's natural" and probably walk away once more, only to come back with some sort of delicious hippie food while looking confused. When you ask where they got it they'll simply look more confused and look at the food like they themselves have no idea.

The Malcom X with dreads; These people will have any type of dreads and when asked about them they will exclaim "It's my way of honouring <people in the race riots/ Rastas/ Africa/ etc>" and will go on about how it's a matter of black pride and how other races shouldn't have dreadlocks even after you explain that they pre-date history and no one knows who had them first. This type of person usually hangs out with the salon dreadheads.

The Artsy Dreadhead; cloesly in ties with the Hippie, the Artsy dreadhead loves art, whether it's painting on canvas, or their skin. They may also have stuff dangling from their dreads, each one with an interesting story. This hippie is the one most likely to prance down the street wearing nothing but body-paint.

The "I don't give a fuck about my hair" dreadhead; This person just didn't want to comb their hair every morning, so they just let it do it's thing and surprise, dreadlocks!

The metal-dreadhead; The guy you see at heavy metal concerts headbanging to some...Deathklok or whatever the hell heavy metal bands are named. Like Mr Waxie, they may have done this because it's "EXTREME!", but they probably take better care of their hair and are slightly older. The other main reason for this is that "Chicks dig the hair".


I didn't spend much time writing this... If anyone has any suggestions for more categories of dreadhead, please reply to this thread so I can write about them.

EDIT; Added two new categories.
EDIT #2; Added another category.

 

I hate it when people try to put me in a box. Labels don't do us any good, man...

 

It's not a serious thing or anything... I made it because I was bored. ;>>

 

I fit into none of these.:nopity:

 

lol thread failure

 

lame

 

i agree with the last 3 comments

 

Pat= The clueless dreadhead
bcmama=The dreadhead on a journey
hellodreadhead=The salon dread
addictedt0chaos=The hippie
Smelly D= Doesn't have dreads

 

Yeah that one does kind of fit me. Besides the neat and perfect part

 

catagory spatagory none of the above.....what a waste of time writing all that out.....you bored too?

 

Nope....my locks aren't about spirituality. I just got tired of combing my rats nest of fine, curly hair every morning & spending small fortunes on hair products. This is my second set, so its not much of a journey to me.
Pretty silly stuff...

 

^
Same as bcmamma I had a birds nest too before I had dreads,I only brushed the top layer of my hair and underneath was knotty

 

I only had a little to work with.

 

Don't tell me lies.

 

In light of the responses, I came up with a couple.

The 'don't label me' dread: These are people who think that having dreads is some kind of original, unique statement. They think there is still something they could do that hasn't been done by a million other people already. These are the people who can't just relax and admit that they like dreads for some of the same reasons others like dreads.
The 'take me seriously' dread: These are the dreads who can't understand when someone is just trying to be funny. These are the same people who take themselves entirely too seriously, and can't laugh at their selves. They like to write things about what they see as 'cool,' but god forbid someone else do the same.
The 'dread in the mud': These are dreads who enjoy being total douchebags to other dreads just so they make the point that they aren't like other dreads, again and again. These dreads enjoy making shitty comments about how other people's threads aren't up to their cool standards.

 

^ still have my own catagory

 

Good! Those categories are for all the poo heads.

 

lol @ thread.

 

might want to include the artsy dread head, they probably knit wool hats and drink chai tea, they probably shop at whole foods and wear open toed shoes, also probably read books they have no shot at understanding just so they can carry illusion of being intelligent
