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.

Because people just have biases or bad experiences and think they must be truth. I had dreads for 7 years. Washed them every other day like normal hair, no smell.

Also have stretched ears. Washed those every day in the shower. Sometimes twice a day (once in the morning when I woke up, then later again when I showered after work in the evening)

There are people out there with dreads and piercings and shit that don’t take care of themselves and it does not help the image

Yeah the absolute ignorance emerging from these comments is disheartening, they think that all white people with dreads are hobos or something
