The more i get around fellow poiers, the stronger the impression that dreadlocks is a necessary hairstyle for poiers gets…

My concern now is that I'll never ever be able to grow dreads. Not that I dont like it, but my hair just dont allow me to.

Is that a problem?

biggrin

You need to click on the little hazard sign that appears underneath the post. I've done it for you.



In the meantime, why don't you start a new thread in this forum introducing yourself to us. You can find a template here, to copy and paste.

And by the way, I don't have dreads, but they can look really hot on some people (and others well, mmm). I really don't think I'd suit them somehow! ubblol

Used to have dreadlocks years before my spinning days...

Stereotyping's only bad if the person doesn't actually like what they do to become a stereotype.

i.e. if someone doesn't actually like dreadlocks but gets them anyway just to fit it. Just like someone who desperately wants dreadlocks but refuses because they're afraid they'll be perceived as a stereotype.

If you want them, get them. If you don't, don't. Simple as.

dunno tinklepants your hair's quite nice anyway, dreds are messy, they stink etc.

I was gonna get em cause my hair curls like a [censored] if I don't wash it religiously so at festivals I get semi dreds anyway. Eventually decided it was too much hassle, a few people I know have had em & got really annoyed with em. Does look badass though

rolleyes

Only if you don't wash your hair. Funnily enough your hair will stink if you have a 'normal' hairstyle and don't wash it either.

The optimist claims that we are living in the best of all possible worlds.
The pessimist fears this is true.

I had dreads for 3 days in total. My hair is so thin that I had about ten on my head, and I didn't have any wax so they started fraying almost immediately...

Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand and I can beat the world into submission.

I have dreads redface Does that mean I'm now a steriotype? I hope not. But really, dreads are so much more than just a hair style... They become your identity in a lot of cases. Thankfully I haven't been held back in life due to my dreads. (As in, I have a job!) My friends love my dreads, certain members of my family less so, but I couldn't imagine myself without them. I've had them for a year and a half now, and I'm not planning on getting rid of them any time soon!

On that note, I should put up some new pictures of my dreads on my HoP gallery... The ones that are in there are a bit old.

One thing I have learned from having my wonderful dreadlocks: patience. They don't happen over night, that's for sure!

ubblove

Is it a bad thing that I saw a few Hippies in the park the other day and wondered if they twirled? (whilst we're on the subject of stereotypes)
