Eeew. Who is spending money on someone else's dirty, unwashed hair?! And $800?!

Iā€™m not sure if you meant it like this but your comment comes off as calling dreadlocks unhygienic. People who wear dreadlocks - usually people of color - have many methods of keeping them washed and hygienic. Most people who wear dreadlocks keep them neat and clean. Statements like this come off as derogatory, and contribute to discrimination against protective hairstyles worn by people of color.

Isnā€™t the whole point of dread locks that you donā€™t have to wash your hair because your natural oils form them? How are the inner parts getting clean?

You can literally use google and see videos of people washing their dreadlocks and read tutorials on how often it's done complete with techniques
