Pre cool. But sometimes it gives the impression that you're ashy.
>>
>>10623330
You mean trashy? Well, what about if I'm well dressed and keep my dreads clean, would it still be seen trashy by some?

I meant "ashy".

What I mean is that long dreads give the impression that the hair often unwashed. So then they assume the rest of the person is unhygienic.


But not all of the time though. My pic for example can work for a office and a street setting.

I'm just going to assume you're a dude though. So just keep the dreads short. I'm sure you not planning on being a rapper any time soon.

>>10623358
Yeah, I'm a dude and I want something like the pic I posted in the OP. Is that short enough? Is it too wild?
>>
>>10623361
I say go for it man. You can always cut it shorter or do a high top fade if you're not satisfied.

But why is that anon?
>>
>>10623354
that pic is not dreads. not even a little. that is just braids. come on.

the rule is that if you're white you can. not. have. dreads.

if you're black, keep them short and you're cool. long dreads means you're going to look trashy unless you're really, really well put together or rich.
>>
>>10623479

Agreed. White people with dreads doesn't matter if you're in a suit you mine as well also being wearing a drug rug and hoisting a bob marley flag. cringey af.

Im Half black and half white and had dreads for about 5 years. Went with the neglect method and they turned out pretty cool. Somehow managed to get a sort of sideswept bangs going on like an emo kid lol (this was when i was younger). Every fucking person around me loved them. I got really tired of people asking me questions about them so i got rid of them. Also had to deal with a lot of 420 stigma, even though i did not smoke. That sucked but i knew better.
>blogpost
They are cool though. But to be honest, it wasnt 100 % worth it. I like my small afro more.
>>
>>10623354
ashy != unhygenic
>>
>>10623325
I see white girls with it every now and then and it screams "all I do/talk about is weed and how high I can get and check out my cool bongs and I just got the coolest vape with this oil that has thc in it so i can get high anywhere and vaping looks so cool, what's your coil? you're going to burn it out with that amperage." but those are the girls with daddy issues and are easy lays
>>
>>10623325
How could I do something like this by myself? Any videos online? None I've seen are dedicated for this particular styling (hightop dreads going forward). Please help!
>>
>>10624490
sounds like your mixing two stereotypes there because they're both groups that like things that you don't like

very few cannabis users like to play with dragon dildos, good cannabis vapes are not ecigs
>>
>>10624510
Every stoner I met uses vapes with thc oil and every vaper I have met blazes. I don't understand why
>>
>>10624497
try the black hair generals when you see them
look to be freeformed, meaning they would have fallen naturally
>>
On white people they look disgusting.

On black people they look GOAT.
>>
>>10623325
Fucking hell I really want something like this but I have no idea how.

I don't know where to go in my area to get it done.

I tried copping one of those twist sponges and I use that regularly but it doesn't look how I want it to desu.

Either want something like OP or pic related.
>>
smells
>>
>>10624606
simple as using a twist sponge

or towel rub

or not combing/detanging for an extended period

or going to a salon to get them twisted then freeforming
>>
>>10623325
They only look good when they're short like in your pic. Otherwise you like a rasta man
>>
>>10623354
First of all, these aren't even dreads in your pic...

Second of all I'm pretty sure nobody thinks that dreads = ashy. Ashy skin has nothing to even do with hygiene...
>>
>>10624616
Yeah I've been using the sponge for the past couple months and although it is kinda twisted at parts it's not looking exactly how I want them too.

I'll probably have to get it twisted, but considering I live in a smaller city in the UK, I don't really know where to go to get it done.
>>
>>10624607
Only if you're white or if you don't take care of them properly.
>>
>>10623325
Niggers finding a way to be even more dirty and disgusting.

>dreads on women
groooossss

>>10624606
you could always get curls and have a really similar hairstyle that bitches like instead.
>>
>>10623479
The best looking dread I've ever seen were in two white girls. They looked clean as fuck and they were dressed in a quasi-formal way it looked pretty unique. But maybe because where I live most people who wear dreads are white 420BobMarley kids, so my standards for dreads are kind of low.

on black people they are great but on white people they are horrible, not just because of muh cultural appropriation but because the people who have them are invariably smelly eco warrior sjws. Plus theyre always trying to explain how dreads are "natural" for white people.

Gang tattoos aside, this is actually a really clean look.

G.I.P CAPO

>>10626658
dreads aren't natural for white people

they're natural for anyone with anything similar to that hair texture

>>10625509
