I'm not a fan of categorizing people or making assumptions about someone's beliefs/opinions/values just because their dreads were started a certain way. That's just as bad as people stereotyping all dreadheads as dirty hippies or rastas, etc.
ALL dreads are unconventional and it's a style that still meets with a lot of social disagreement and disgust. So it takes a certain amount of spirituality, self-confidence and guts to have them, regardless of whether they were "installed" in a salon or developed without any tools or products whatsoever.
And for some people, dreads ARE "just hair" and a hairstyle to experiment with, not some major personal growth journey or whatever. Who cares? SE, I get the points you're trying to make, but this post implies there's something less desirable or worthy about "installed" dreads, or that the person getting them is somehow less "spiritual" (whatever that means). I don't agree with that at all.
