I want dreads but I dont
General Talk
I think your biggest problem is going to be getting over your anxiety about being judged. The itchiness and dandruff have some pretty simple fixes and you can still do plenty of cool stuff to kind of style your dreads. I also wanted dreads forever but after attempting it once in high school I decided against it because of some not so nice things my family had to say about them. Its a few years later and I started the dreading process again about a month ago and still had some concerns about being judged. I'm in college and in a fraternity so me getting dreads was something a lot of my brothers questioned and jokingly gave me a little shit for, but you'll come to find that the people worth knowing in this world aren't going to care what you look like. My preppier friends always rip on me for my dreads and I rip on them for dressing like a bunch of dorks haha. At the end of the day outward appearance holds little real significance and if dreads are something you want your experience will most certainly being a fulfilling one.
