LOL. Why in the hell is she explaining and apologizing to you all? She should've said "those of who this applies to, be offended." LOL. If she thinks dreads are dirty, that's her opinion and she's not the only person who feels that way.
I love dreads and that's because the men and women I know who have them are big on maintenance and overall cleanliness. Their dreads look good and smell good. Some men look better with dreads and would look average if not below average without them.
However, I also knew people who had dreds for a different purpose and believed that dred maintenance was contrary to the purpose of dreds so their dreds were very dirty. Even if their ass was clean, their dreds were not.
Which gets me to the topic of white folks with dreds. Why some white folks get dreds aside (such as those at my school who came back from Spring Break with a dark tan, some dreds or cornrows and beads, and Bob Marley shirts (
)), different hair types call for different things. There are whites and others with generally thinner hair textures who get dreds and don't do the proper cleaning and maintenance from fear that they will "wash the dreds out." I saw a handsome white man with some dreds one day. I wanted to put him in my back pocket because he really looked like a white Bob Marley. But I looked closely at his dreds and said "gross, nevermind. Dirty."
With that said, I prefer a bald chocolate man and have chosen accordingly.
That's my ultimate turn on. I have dated a man with dreds years ago or admired them as they pon da river at Reggae clubs.
Never cornrows or other types of braids, though. Sorry, no thanks.
