I don't know I feel about it. One of my girlfriends used to have dreads. She showered often lol, just not washed her hair ever time. A lot of people thought she was pot smoker, but she's in actuality a Christian - Mennonite to be exact. A lot of the people at my Christian university has dreads, vegetarian, vegan, organic, fair trade minded. Very hippy, Christian hipster, Mennonite hipster. Granola. All that jazz. Would I allow my kid to have dreads, probably not.
