Should I shave my dreads off?
    #21769501 - 06/06/15 09:04 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ive had dreadlocks for 8 years. I love them to the moon and back.

But recently Ive become less than thrilled with the spacing of them. When I first had them done the lady who did them followed a "natural hair line" which left me with roughly 8 more dreads on one side of my head. This plus the fact my dreads seem to have stopped growing and are only getting shorter due to me nervously playing with them all the time leads me to want to cut em off.

It really would be only temporary. I would immediately start growing my hair out again to re-dread it in a years time or so. This time I would dread my hair myself.

Alternatively, I figure out how to revitalize my current dreads. Id need to promote growing, fix split/dead ends/ and work all the frizzies back in...

Seems easier to cut and regrow.

:shrug:

I dont fancy any other hairstyle at all. Dreads are my alltime favourite.

see if you can find a place to give some sort of treatment for your head/dreads.


there are also vitamins you can take that help with hair strength and growth.

as for the poor space is it possible to separate dreads? like a large dread into two smaller ones?

I'm currently growing my hair out to grow dreads. you should post a picture of what you mean by the spacing

Yeah I'd agree if you like dreads. If something bothers you in life, change it for the better. I had 3 sets of dreads over the years and was never happy with my dreaded bangs. The last time I had dreads I kept the bangs un dreaded and was a lot happier with them.

Propensity should photoshop you without your dreads to see of you would still be acceptable looking.

My dog would eat the shit out of my dreads if I ever grew them again. I have never heard of this but seems like it would be more common. Dogs love old rancid shit.

I removed all my friends hair using photoshop since he was concerned about his receding hairline. Turns out he will be just as good looking without hair.

If you don't like the spacing on the sides you could do a mullet or a Mohawk or a rat tail at first ,dreads mullets are fuckin badass I kept mine like 2 years, you can start wearing normal hats and stuff , and it kinds help you go throught the process of shaving since your already half way.

It really sucks to cut our dreadlocks , feels sad man
Re growing it is long as fck, plus the time for the dreads to be nice .. Nothing is more badass then fuckin long dreadlocks..

But it can be nice to a have a little refresh, when I cutted my dreads 6 months ago I bought a shit ton of new patches and some new clothes, it was a nice start over .

But anyway whatever you do ,know that you will still be the same in your heart :hug: If you do shave I hope you get to grow new ones . I my self planing on doing a dread Mohawk when my hair will be long enough

I disagree. Sometimes fear is the right choice.

Like if a bear is chasing you, love probably won't save your ass. But fear will. You go ahead and try and hug it out with a grizzly bear. I'm totally okay with fear and running.

I know it's not what you meant but still. Fear isn't all bad. Fear is necessary. It makes you function at a higher level.

Hair on different parts of the head grows at different rates.  In general the top of your head usually grows more slowly than the sides.

It pains me some to say this, but I agree. Rarely do I see white men (and women) with dreads that don't look like a bit of a disgrace.

For future reference to anyone who would like dreads, go to a certified loctician. It may cost you a lot of money, but I promise you that you won't look like the inside of a clogged drain. Fuck that "they're not real dreads if you have someone do them for you" crap. People with that attitude are just upset because their heads look like the inside of clogged drains.

Can confirm.

After having dreads - I now think dreads are pretty gross and extremely impractical.

Black people can have straight hair sure.


But black folks shouldn't drape that hair over one eye and dress like an emo kid. It's weird as fuck.

You can't say white people can't have dreads but black people can be scene.


Granted these are equally stupid on white folks it just looks worse on coloreds

Also, ever seen Aaron Brooks? White dude with fantastic dreads. Great art too

Nah zombi3 has a great sense of humor.

We've all been going back and forth with jokes about it and he makes some of the jokes himself. I think the humor keeps spirits high. But I don't know.

I said way more fucked up shit like that and told him to stop me when I crossed a line and never did.

So what races in your opinion are allowed to have dreads so that you're comfortable with it?




You guys are doing too much. :lol:

I never said people weren't allowed to get dreads. Y'all get as many dreads as your hearts desire.

I'm not talking about chemical relaxers (what those kids used in the photos), Psychonautica. I'm saying that plenty of people of African descent have fine hair.

Aaron Brooks' dreads aren't anything special, to me.

Jokes on you I can't read.
it's not the straight hair that's bad, it's the draping it over one eye like an emo kid that's gross it's gross on white folk too but even sillier on blacks.

Nah I don't have dreads. I think dreads look gross on people of all colors. I think they look gross and unkempt on black people. I'm not salty I just think emo kids are equally bad as gross dread heads. But I'll agree. Black people are slightly less gross dread heads and white folks are slightly less gross emo kids.

Personally I like hair braiding and natural styles, on any race. I don't like dreads and straightening/curling.

Maybe you have dreads in an alternate universe.

The sky isn't any color, we just perceive the light traveling through the atmosphere as blue most of the time.

Ive had dreadlocks for 8 years. I love them to the moon and back.

But recently Ive become less than thrilled with the spacing of them. When I first had them done the lady who did them followed a "natural hair line" which left me with roughly 8 more dreads on one side of my head. This plus the fact my dreads seem to have stopped growing and are only getting shorter due to me nervously playing with them all the time leads me to want to cut em off.

It really would be only temporary. I would immediately start growing my hair out again to re-dread it in a years time or so. This time I would dread my hair myself.

Alternatively, I figure out how to revitalize my current dreads. Id need to promote growing, fix split/dead ends/ and work all the frizzies back in...

Seems easier to cut and regrow.

:shrug:

I dont fancy any other hairstyle at all. Dreads are my alltime favourite.



You're white, right? If so, cut them.

Cut those shit logs off your head OP. They represent drug use. I think you learned your lesson.

Turn the a leaf. Be positively judged by strangers when you walk in the street instead of them thinking you're a drug addict.

Yeah. Parts of your scalp never get clean - so much dead skin and grease. Then if you get them wet too much, they can get moldy and generally stink. It's disgusting.

Had dreads for about five years, cut them off about 8 years ago and wish I would never have done it in the first place. I think it really thinned out my hair.

Looking back, now, it was disgusting. Sometimes you just do stupid shit when you're young. The feeling of being able to run my fingers through my clean hair, I would never go back. OP I'll bet if you cut them off you'll decide not to re-dread them eventually, but I could be wrong.

I respect every person's right to have whatever hairstyle and wear whatever they want. I just kinda think when I see somebody older than their early twenties, or 27, or definitely 30, who is a white guy with dreadlocks, unless you've got a good job that is okay with your hair, or run your own business and are doing well for yourself... If you're working shit jobs and struggling to get by, as I imagine a lot of these people are, it gets kind of old. Just grow up and join the real world, already. Your identity isn't clumps of matted hair on your head, it's not going to be forever. Basically what I'm saying is that if it's standing in the way of your success in life, it's probably time to grow up. Dreads are cool when you're in high school and college, or if you're a reggae star, or you live on a pot farm, etc. But if you're working for minimum wage and sleeping on a couch, cut them shits off.




The farms i worked at in nor cal shunned the dread heads. Some folks i worked for Didnt allow dreadies onto the properties. One chick wouldn't even let people with dreadies ride in her car. There's some paranoid people in them mountains boy.

being rasta is about letting go, mon  :jah:

if u're getting dreads for the looks alone u're already doing it wrong. dreads aren't a style, being rasta isnt a style, it is a way of life, it just happens.
