I've been asked by a number of people how many dreads I have so I'm asking everyone if they know how many locks they have and if they have a favorite. I either have a 123 or 122 locks and even though I love them all I do have my favorites. So I thought it would be cool to see what you all thought and if you have a favorite lock(s) why?

How many dreads do you have... Do you have a favorite?

I like the ones with their own personalities and my favorites have nice tips too.A few are combining, but still around 47-49 when originally starting with 50
my favorite one was on the top of my head, it was the first to really look like a dread and it formed a really cool tip that looks kinda like a tentacle
yeah ive got a favourite. right in the back of my head, theres a dread thats really locked about 1/2 inch from the scalp all the way up to about an inch from the tip. There theres about a 1/4 inch loop of completely loose hair that leads into the tightest dread end i have followed by a tiny paintbrush tip.Most unique dread, easily my favouriteas for how many i have, i have no idea

it took me a logn time to be given the idea to count the locks, so until sumwhat recently itried it and got 25now i got 27 and each dread has its own personality, age, and feel hahahahhahi wouldnt b supriised if that numbers continued to fluctuate for a while tho...Namaste
last count was about 60 and growing some babiesi have one that has this loop on the end that i love playing with it and another one that breaks into 2 dreads then back to one and a third one thats super fat and thick then gets really thin haha its like in the center bottom of all my hair
I've got 22 but some of my loose sections are starting to form little baby locs, so in a year or two I will have more. I do have a favorite, it is on the back of my head on the top, it is the fattest one i got, about an inch thick maybe more. I have a hand-carved bead I made from a stick that that I am always wearing on it. I should name it..
I only have 32ish... and I love each dread in a different way... in other words, each dread is my favorite for a different reason! One of my most favorites is my thickest dread in the very back of my head.... I was soo afraid that it wouldn't lock up at first...and now it's the best looking dread on my entire head!
