Dread On Dread discrimination

General Talk

I have had the same experience, its really sad how judgemental ppl can be. Having dreads was never meant to be a status symbol or a way to think you're better cause of the way someone has decided to do them. I find that when I see ppl with dreads i just get reallyexcited I love dreads soo I dont see being judgemental about them to be healthy.

help tips are going soft and ripping

Twisting dreadlocks Theories?

Dread Maintenance

Its funny ppl always tell me twist my dreads and for a while I listened and then they said I should get them crocheted bad bad bad mistake my roots got week and then I learned ot block everyone out because ITS MY HAIR! My hair refuses any twisting or anything its puffy and does what it wants alot like the person underneath the hair so Im happy my hair is happy and everyone else I tell them to mind htier own busniness

Dreads in the Family

I am the only one in my household with dreads. My kids love my hair they are 14 and 17 but since I let my hair do what it want naturally they do try ot tell me to get it twited to look more uniform, but that is just not me. also since when I began my locks 3yrs ago they were backcombed and now refuse to twist to get loose endsin. Personally I'm fine with this but alot of ppl feel the need to take it upon themselves to tell me how to do my hair funny cause none of them have dreads. My husband doesnt like dreads but loves mine, hes bald and likes the feel of then on his head. The biggest problem I run into is ppl wanting to touch my hair I really hate that cause I have no idea where there hands have been and I find it very rude since I dont just go up and touch ppl for no reason. But other than that I dont have much overt trouble and if ppl make assumptions thats on them not me. I love my hair!
