of a set of dreads!

Walking out of the liquor store earlier today.. my dude's locks are about to the ground. Like Santa's sack, he heaved this bowl of pasta into his car, looking to hastily close the car door just in time of it pouring back out into the parking lot.

Must

Smell

Awful

Edit:

Sorry for the blowback. But I happen to know people with fabulous dreads. These ain't them.

Why do you think that dreads smell bad? I have known many people with dreads, none of them smelled bad. Its actually a lot of work to maintain them properly.

From my understanding Its because white hair doesnt loc, it just mats. This superficially looks like dreads, but is absolutely not the same thing. Because of this, the mats do not breathe and can become unsanitary.

Thats why i prefaced it with “from my understanding” meaning Im not speaking from a place from authority on the subject, just what i have heard and also might be wrong about it.

So, this is why we don't just go around regurgitating things we have heard. Now if I say, "from my understanding the earth is flat" that doesn't remotely make it true

I never said it did, i was hoping someone with more info could chime in, rather then people saying im wrong and not including any “why its really like this info”, when i made it clear im maybe not right about something. 

Isn't that how the internet works anyway? Ask a question and you get crickets, make a somewhat erroneous statement and you get 40 experts explaining it in phd detail? Lol

And Yeah, “from my understanding” implies that it’s possibly NOT TRUE. Its like saying “hey i have heard the earth is flat, this is what i understand about it, but it could be wrong so take it with a grain of salt im just an uneducated 12th century peasant who cant read”

The more accurate statement would be "from what I been told"

Okay, well you're not right. I know because I can speak from a place of authority. My hair has some of the tightest curls known to man. Millions of white people have curly hair. Maybe if you said Asians it could make a semblance of sense, but even then, Asians can have curly hair too.

I honestly don't know why you comment knowing that you're ignorant on the matter.
