So i have had my dreads for 4 years in may and my girlfriend has been on my to cut them for a fair while as she now doesnt like them(she used to when they were neater and shorter). I must admit they are a total matted mess but that sorta makes me like them more.

She keeps on as do some other people sometimes (but i couldnt care less about them) but to me, they are pretty much part of my identity now after so long and if i do cut them i'll only get them again.

So, should i think about cutting them for her or should i keep them? Bearing in mind i hate my hair normally as it just fine, straight and shiney, the perfect hair according to girls and i dont like shaved hair either so dreads win for me.

(awaits white guy with dreads bashing comments)

The thing about dreadlocks or any kind of long hair is that people will assume


1) You're lazy
2) You're unprofessional
3) You partake in 'erb

At various points of me having long hair at least 2 of the above could apply at any time :p

Get it off, you'll feel so much better for it.

Dreads rock :D

thats not possible.

you see i used to have them all seperate and nice but due to wearing heads bands as they go longer i now seriously have 2 dreads, one consist of about 7 or 8 locks on the right side of my head, the rest is one fat mat at the bottom thatg oes from the front left of my head all the way round to the back where it end in a dread about and inch and half wide

take a pair of electric trimmers to your head and start from scratch!

i strongly agree, at first you will be nervous, the next 2 days it will be weird and you think it will look stupid, after that, youll be like "oooooo, im streamline, nice, i can run faster and cool quicker :) i upgraded my hardware"

i shaved my hair for charity (was half way down my back) and this was 2 years ago, and its just gone past my shoulders atm, but it was awsome :D

I always think dreadlocks and braided hair looks dirty, especially when they've been there a while and have gone messy.

Just my 2 cents :p
 
well i had dreads before for 6 weeks during summer a few years ago and as school wouldnt allow me to keep them (correction, i was told to my face that as i wasnt black i wasnt allowed them as i couldnt possibly be a rasta therefore its was no :mad: ) and as soon i cut them all i did was grow my hair to start again, didnt like it at all.

heres a lovely pic showing that if i pull one lock, my whole head of hair moves with it :D and i do rather a few lose hairs at the front of my head :(

Cut them and start to wash your hair again. Dreds are disgusting.
