what's so special about dreads?

if its neat. then its whatever!

You mean the artificial dreads we carry about.

It's not going to be permanent so what's the stress?

what's so special about dreads?

I wonder o

Generally, naija babes don't do guys with dreads. It's the same old story - How can I present a man with dreads to my dad?

I've got shoulder length locs. They are clean, and I get them re-twisted every month. I also wash them every blessed day. Yet, a lot of my naija friends still call me immature for having locs.

Personally, I don't give a hoot what you look like or how you wear your hair. I'm strongly attracted to women with long flowing locs.

@banderas

just had to check your profile


your dreads are nice even from the side view

now when you said they were shoulderlength do you mean 1 loc from the front is long enoguh to touch your shoulder


@topic

I like dreads , i like hair for guys generally. But dreads for men look better when they are neat, clean and short

i know a number of men who after the first time of locking never touched their head again now it looks horrible, matted and stringy. Definitely not attractive

wtas a gal withlocs supposed to do? shave and go bald? i dont mind so long as she's fine

and yeah banderas; not bad for a guy, though i wouldnt do it myself, i'm an afro person

It's easy 2 say dat it doesn't matter but I wonder if such a person went 4 a serious job interview if he'll be refused on account of his locks. So it gets me believing dat society may not totally accept dis person as a responsible person and I wouldn'y like dat

@mandora

Not everyone is under 'formal' employment many are self employed so all this talk about interviews is being myopic

IT for instance has nothing to do with your appearance its your skill

ADVERTISING is a lucrative industry too and most likely dreads would give the impression that you're creative

MEDIA in all its facets nko dreadlocks will not prevent you from being employed

TELECOMMUNICATIONS- i know at least two girls with dreads and they work in that corporate environment and they were INTERVIEWED

I would date a girl with any sort of hair - afro, relaxed, plaited or dredlocked. I honestly can't see what difference it makes to a person.

the differnnce is that those dreadlock guys look like arm robbers

trendy:

Trendy, you would not believe how much that made me laugh! So funny.

wats the bigdeal? I've got dreads meself and I don't c wy I cant date someone wit dreads. its not d hair, its the person, so if u like grow dreads down ur pubics, if i like u i  like u.

so you have dread, i go see you run o!, just joking
abeg shave am, go barb am
most times when lasts (not all ) sees a guy on dread they think he is very bad
for me i wont date a guy on dread
i need my man, clean and well shaved, u get?

i have male acquittance that dread their hair
but that's how far i can go

what type of dread are we talking about anyway
if u mean those short ones that looks like rough curls i can do with that

if the thing come long like *DaDa* no be me and the guy,
he go find girl go front, or if am already dating him and he dread his hair against my will
i go give am Samson and Delilah style
i go use scissors finish am for night

Come on guys dread loc or not it is love that matters if you love a guy with dread loc why not date him stop talking like babies.it is LOVE that matters.

joe b, how ur dreadlock now, u sound like u have got it

love matters, that's why i will even stress myself to talk about his hair sef
if not, wetin concern agbero with overload

Same way a guy can tell a girl to stop somethings
like my man says i should stop wearing mini skirts
cos i wear them too short

a carebean girl married a Ghanain freind some 10 years ago.  she had to cut the thing off because she knew the boys family  would never have allowed it.  she was supposed to grow it back after the marraige but she left it becaue it would affect the kids seeing the extended family.

the things are not cast in stones.

personally i wont date a lady with one. not even in my dreams

i admire and love dreads though am not carrying one myself.
it has so many disadvantages though, esp for guys _{living in niaja}

@ topic i can go out with a guy carrying dreads.

I would go for guy with clean groomed dreads like this pictures at below---HOTTEST HUNKY GUY :

I love my locs and have never had probs in the dating department. I don't get the 'dirty' part, locs, being natural are a wash and go affair. I'm not for fake weaves (most smell) and straightening my hair to look like,  I carry my natural mane with confidence and pride.

Am also in higher management in the corporate sector and my hair's never been a hindrance.

Inked_Nerd:

I wouldn't mind dating a guy with locs. As a matter of fact, I've been foolin' around with for some time now. Every time I'm with him, I can't help but play around with his locs. He has these really beautiful brownish golden curly locs, I just love his hair so much. I can't keep my hands out of his hair when I'm with him. I love locs on a man regardless of their ethnicity.

Ok. . . . I got locks too maybe u should come play with mines too!

Ok, I lied I aint got locks. . . . but still. . . . .!

He rocks it the best. . . . . .
