As a black person when I see people walk around with thin dreads and their scalp is showing, I get goosebumps. Like seriously, something about seeing all that scalp and thin little dreads are a bit scary. My sister and I got into an argument in June because she said that my dreads looked terrible and I should go visit someone for maintenance. So I bought the overhead dryer and told her that I would save money and maintain it on my own. Lets just say that my kitten is more attracted to the dryer than I am.
Anyway I went to my college Admissions office to submit some documents. Instead of being in and out I was told to take a number and sit. So I had this feeling that someone was staring daggers at me so I look in the direction. There is a woman with sunglasses on and she had her dreadlocks in a bun. I realized that she was a mom and her daughter was sitting next to her. She kept staring at my hair until I sat down next to her. I got a good look at her hair and I was really confused. She had all of these skinny dreadlocks in a huge bun but her hairline was receding and there were huge gaps in between each lock.
Like yes the manicured locks can be asthetically pleasing, but I'm 22 I don't want to have to start plucking out dreadlocks that were twisted to their limit.
