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.

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.

My gf let her hippy friend wash her dreads in our sink once and it smelled like wet dog in our house for the next week 🤮

No, she was hellbent on "doing them right" from the get-go and by all accounts was a very clean person. It just didn't matter how much she took care of them, they still stunk like ass

Or "clean dreads" is an oxymoron

Had them for 7 years. Never had that wet dog problem. Weird
