ive always heard about people putting shells in their dreads but idk how.... i have plenty of shells though

i have 2 of those and thats it i need to get more beadies.. i have theis big o' round red one but i dont really like it so i dont wear it

back in ancient times, African men would get pooka shells stuck in their dreads when out fishing. He said that as they would bend over to stab a fish and look for fish at the bottom of the ocean their hair would brush against the sea floor and dirt and shells would get stuck in their dreads. If and when these men were sold as slaves people would pay more for the men with more shells in their hair as this was a sign of a hard worker and a strong man. puka shells are also known as cowry shells

Every time one of my old necklaces breaks I put some of the beads on my smaller dreads, its funny when people say that they look familiar.
