would you cut off your dreads in aid of a good cause?

like raise a load of money for charity or something?

Or is it just out of the question.

How precious are your dreads?

 

Verry precious, didn't you already do a thread like this one? Maybe you should start reading more music!

No to be fair when I think about it, it wasn't exactly the same was it? Hmm tricky one I might start sounding selfish here if I say no. If I was thinking about cutting them then maybe I would try to raise some money for charity, hmm I'm still sounding like a twat aren't I. I'll let someone else say something.

 

if it was 10 million for me..hell no
if it was 5 million to feed hungry children ..well..i'd cut 1 dread for every million
i could sacrifice 5 to thre cause shure.

 

yeah once i started a thread how much to cut them off... but thats selfish you know as you get to keep the money yourself.
but this one is bout doing it for good causes i guess....no money for you just charity.
so you would not see a penny and OMG you would also be dreadless!
Would the feel good factor that you did something good for charity be enough or not?

 

i think i would cut off my dreads to raise money for charity for a friend/family that was poorly or something.

 

I am fond of my hair. I cannot deny there is a degree of a vanity... But it is not the TOP priority of mine, therefore, I could part with them for the right cause.

 

I have had my hair cut and donated it to cancer... I have never been a "hair focused" person and that is a big part of why I got dreads. If it were for a good cause, for sure I would... and then start again. But cannot imagine dreads as valuable as hair that they can use to make wigs for children. KWIM?

 

I've considered it before... the shave your head for cancer sort of thing.... but I would definitely do it for a huge information blitz about congenitaly heart defects. If cutting off my dread would help get the word out that 1 in 100 babies is born with a CHD and that CHD is the leading cause of death for babies in the first year.

Well there ya go... I just educated you guys I'll keep my dreads for now!

 

Yip, the matted keratin on the top of my head is not as big a past of me as my compassion and empathy. I reckon a couple hundred of £'s would do it.
