gay guy walked out of hair dresser with hair that smelled like hair spray, could have lit the hair on fire with lighter lol joke
Woah, such an abrasive amount of negative comments. I am apparently a self-centered twit who is bait for inmate rape and other foul things!
I will not get a crew cut or anything of the sort, yet. I'm sorry, but no matter how 'normal' it will look on me, I can't bring myself to conform to foolish stereotypes of 'successful' men who are 'going places'. Take a good, long look at the new wave of corporate America and tell me that it's required to look like everyone else in order to do something in life. It's foolish and incorrect... and besides, if I cut it short then less people will destroy me on the net. How boring! 🙁
To those who hate it, that's fine... it's not a look that everyone enjoys. Despite the stereotypes, I don't smoke weed, listen to Bob Marley and wish that everyone would just 'get along'. But a quick explanation as to WHY they look so 'rat's nestish' instead of, ya know, normal dreads:
I had actually meant to explain the dread thing a bit more, but got too sleepy in the initial post. The thing I mentioned about how I'm not using any products or wax is both good and bad for creating dreads; the plus side is, it's the more 'natural' way to do that or whatever. When getting rid of dreads, people who have used wax and other stuff cut their dreads open to find that all that stuff put into their hair was STILL THERE 3 years later... pretty disgusting, imo.
The downside about it is, well, clearly apparent in the pictures I posted. The front ones are kinda thin and ridiculous looking, the back are all frizzy and such. It will take them about 1-3 months to get knotted up, 'natty' and really dread looking. I've had them for 2 days now, so they look pretty bad. I will likely post some 'better' dread pictures and hopefully I won't look so much like a 'white guy with dreads lolrasta stonerdouche' as I do right now.
Perhaps I should have been more explicit; I would love to see your various styles of hair while growing up, through different periods of your life, and generally what you've done with over a long period of time. Clearly, as I've stated, this wasn't over a week but a decent part of my life; we've all done things we've regretted, now let's see yours. I'm merely offering quite a few images of myself to the internet to abuse me and my self worth. Now, you do the same. If you're so much more awesome than me, PROVE IT.

Funny how you comment about the name calling, negative comments and hate, and then you turn right around and do the same thing. 😕
Don't expect everyone to give you a pat on the back in life. Sometimes people are going to tell it to you like it is especially on an internet messageboard where hiding behind the monitor makes it easier.
I really don't like dreads all that much, but yours seem even more snarly and unkempt than most. If you don't like the truth, don't put yourself out there.
Anyone ever tell you you look like Andy Dick? Well... I mean, Andy Dick with dreadlocks.

Yeah, FUCK THE MAN!
I'm sorry, but the Castro hat is the symbol of today's rebellious youth. White guys with dreadlocks are so 90's.
Hehe, yes, I've been told that many times actually... only more so when my hair was around the length in the first picture.

My goal at this point is to get my dreads as clean, uniform looking and as 'respectable' as they can get. I've seen a few internet dreadheads who's look really nice; of course, the majority are unkempt messes and clearly these are what people usually have in mind. I will be washing them just about every day, as it won't affect the way they look... so in the end I hope I'm no no smelly, pimply burnout who has no career 😉
And I was wasted when I typed that response last night. I'm editing so I can reform my opinions, I was actually hoping for some naysayers but am more interested in seeing hair other people have gone with.
