It was wash day, and after a few hours of drying my dreads were loking really nice..
I am walking to school minding my own business when a man and his child are walking. As I move out of their way and pass them I hear the father say..
"Those are some dreads, some real dreads.. "
"Thanks" I say
"Real dreads baby!! Rock on"
=) nice moment.
That's great. Glad to hear that someone random recognized real locks vs. waxed ones
ya, I get asked abotu them by friends and my rasta buddies understand, but first time a stranger commented. Party situations don't count, I mean walking down the street praise. one love!!!
Awesome, I wish someone would compliment mine! People see them and stare at them a lot but never say anything to me! Booooo.
yeah the most i usually get from people is nice hair most of the time people look at me like I'm homeless but then again where i live not many dreadies I've only seen a few and they were all waxed :P
hahaha! Homeless! ya sometimes my backpack is not taken as a school thing, and more of a drifter thing, especially on laundry day..at the bus stop, with stubble. Total homless guy look.
It actually feels nice to be appreciated once in a while especially by complete strangers casue you feel that someone actually accepts your looks. usually i get judged by people and seen as someone who doesnt wash her hair and carefree and all becasue of my dreads but i guess times like these you just have to keep in mind that you cant please everyone
Just be happy with who you are and who you chose to be, that what really matters anyway:)
