dreads are fucking sweet. I had them for three years. No they arent dirty, and never has anyone ever told me I looked dirty with them. Mind you there a hell of allot more work compared to normal hair. If you get them dont t be one of those people that think that you have dreads now you can be lazy. For my first two months I back combed mine for 20 minutes each day, and I only waxed them once a month cuz I didnt want them to appear dirts. If you hair is curly like mine they should mat up very well. and you can wash your hair, just no condidtioner.
The down side is when you want them out. You either have to shave your head, or like me spend 10 hours combing them out, and have insanely damaged hair for a few months.
Anyways message me if you got anymore questôn, I know allot of tricks about making, maintaining and removing dreads. As I have had them for three years, combed them out and givend them to three people.
Most white peoples hair doesnt dreads very nicely but if you have curly thick hair then your game. And I say go for it, just take care of them. And dont be surprized if you have to spend 3 hours a week on them.
Also, skiing with dreads looks sweet but helmet/ tukes make them flat, so if you do lots of skiing that means it will be more work. But so worth it.
