Dreadlocks

RockNRollMassacre [Edit] [Delete] 28 replies 01:00, 26 August '07

Well groomed dreadlocks have the best smell of any hair. True fact. I could happily spend the rest of my life sniffing my friend's dreads...

      • 6 weeks I heard

        After having basically the rankest hair for the majority of that time, apparently they sorta clean themselves... Sounds plausible what with conditioner essentially being grease, but at the same time like a massive urban legend.

            • not sure

              what the 'big deal' about cut grass is in terms on smell. much prefer the smell of grass after its been raining.

              Yeah, that's FAR more alternative

          • everyone I have ever known with dreads

            have ended up having to cut them off due to INSECT NESTS. Self cleaning my eye.

            • dreads look awful on white people

          • I hope Summers is joking

            nothing wrong with them. They do have a significant origin for many black people who wear them.

          • I remem,ber talking to a homeless person in Glasgow

            who only had four dreads. The were massive and really long..

          • I had two dreads for about a week in 1997

            fact.

            • my friend

              wants some desperately. she isnt white, that is neither here nor there. but she is scared of the grooming, or lack of that they involve.

              • ...

                Kinda is here and there - because white folk with dreadlocks should be chained to a wall and forced to explain their grotesque aping of other people's cultures at gunpoint. Then they should be forced to eat the lice they've grown.

                • i guess we'll have to agree to disagree

                  but i think they are hard to carry off in general.

                  kathryn_h @Stealthy | 26 Aug '07, 20:47 | X
                  • ...

                    I don't agree to that.

                • Dreadlocks on white people aren't a good look

                  If I was in the late 1990s I'd called them 'Trustifarians' or something..

                  There was one such gimp working in a venue in Reading collecting glasses, and inadvertantly slagged off one of my bands, claiming we were 'too loud' and 'couldn't possibly need 5 guitars'. What a fucking tool.
