Madness: White People Dreadlocks

For years I have been well aware that white people find it neat to lock their hair. Lately, I've been doing several google searches on every topic having to do with Dreadlocks. In my research, I have found that most websites are for white people. I'm a naturally curious person so I took a peak at them just to see how the other half lives. I'm all for the whole free spirit movement, but this shit gotta stop! White people, YOU LOOK DUMB! That harsh statement is coming from the most gentle place in my heart. Somebody needs to let ya'll know that your hair was not meant to be locked just as mine was not meant to be straightened.

Note: Ya'll just don't have the same virisitily as black people do. Get over it.

The only decent locks I saw were "Dreadlock Extensions." Using this method, kinky weave is wrapped around the straight hair to form what truly resembles a dreadlock. This costs between $400-$800. If you can't afford that then quit while you are ahead.

Your dreadlocks look unmanaged, dirty, and completely unruly. Just because you can get your hair to knot up with time and hours of backcombing, doesn't mean you should do it. Damn hippies!

Why My Hair Holds Power

My dreadlocks hold power...well maybe not power exactly, but deffinantly wisdom!

The way I see it: These oh so brilliant thoughts of mine have to go somewhere. I figure they grow right through my scalp and out through my hair. My hair holds onto them for safe keeping. My thoughts make my hair resilient and strong. Since my hair is locked, none of it falls out, EVER! Meaning I get to hold onto my thoughts, making me wise. My dreadlocks are not just a flyy style that I love to rock (Cuz i'm happy to be nappy!). These locks of mine are oh so divine and they make me so very wise.
