after seeing what white people have to do to get dreads... guys don't get dreads

if your hair doesn't get that way naturally, just give up

[–]bjorkbon 242ポイント243ポイント  (213子コメント)

What do do they have to do?? I'm curious here

[–]D3M01 1549ポイント1550ポイント  (33子コメント)

Listen to people lecture them about 'cultural appropriation'

[–]_lilPoundcake 107ポイント108ポイント  (174子コメント)

basically white hair doesn't dread unless it's horribly dirty. even the cleanest white dreads are still disgusting.

also black people tend to have very dry hair that doesn't need to be washed very often. white people build up hair grease and dead skin very quickly compared to black people. since dreads don't stand to be washed very often, well...

[–]delkeece 782ポイント783ポイント  (82子コメント)

My wife has her hair dreaded, she cleans it regularly. And it doesn't have to get dirty to be dreaded, you just back-comb it then palm roll. Black people may have drier hair, but the oils skin and dirt are going to get caught in there no matter what your skin color.

[–]Hahahahahahai 62ポイント63ポイント  (0子コメント)

Exactly - you just need to get it knotted or matted up some

[–]Lokgar 192ポイント193ポイント  (66子コメント)

White people tend to have greasy hair precisely because they shampoo and condition damn near everyday. If they started doing a bi weekly wash schedule, eventually their hair would stop greasing up so hard (usually). Also it'd grow thicker.

But seriously, dreads are the most natural hairstyle in the world. Damn near every hair-type eventually dreads if you stop combing and conditioning it.

[–]rebteb 81ポイント82ポイント  (23子コメント)

Yeah I'm white and I used to have greasy hair til I stopped washing it all the time. Now it's dry as fuck.

[–]Gunpla00 17ポイント18ポイント  (15子コメント)

How often should you wash then?

[–]audiocola 47ポイント48ポイント  (7子コメント)

If you don't wash your dreads at minimum every third day, I'd say your doing it wrong. Especially if you're an active person, sweating often. If your dreads dont stay locked, then you have your answer as to whether or not to keep em. Can confirm am black and on my fourth set of locs.

[–]DRxGlass 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yep that's about right. Give or take a few days for different people and different scalps.

[–]ejaynesbeth 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not exactly true. Dreads come from Rastafarianism and their whole thing is not really washing it, you let it grow naturally from birth and eventually it locks up (hence Dreadlocks). This usually results in dreads/Rastas having a fairly dirty smell about them due to their hair, and leads to a lot of people outside of the Rasta culture rejecting them because of the stench. Source: am Jamaican, grew up around it.

[–]JustisForAll -2ポイント-1ポイント  (3子コメント)

I'm black with dreads and I wash my hair maybe twice a month. Its mainly from laziness, Neck pains, and the fact that my hair doesn't smell if I don't wash it

[–]peppaz 82ポイント83ポイント  (1子コメント)

"doesn't smell"

[–]audiocola 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

Aside from smell tho I do it to get rid of debris, dead skin etc. Dont want that in my locs. Same with sweat after workouts.

[–]GeekCat 16ポイント17ポイント  (0子コメント)

For different hair types, not dreads, it's different. I only use shampoo once a week and cowash/condition at most 2 times a week. I have ridiculously thick and curly hair. My hair only really gets oily with heavy product use.

My fiance though has fine hair and he can only go every other day without washing it. Conditioner only amplifies how oily it gets.

[–]seridos 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

I found that switching from shampooing and conditioning in the shower every day to every third shower (so every three days). helped my hair problems.

[–]yeeerrrp 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Do you still get it wet in the shower? My hair always feels pretty dry after a no wash shower

[–]seridos 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yep! I have short hair though, and i mostly started doing this to cure my dandruff. Worked pretty well, don't have any issues with it anymore.

[–]rebteb 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

About twice a week. Not a strict schedule though, I just wash when it seems like it needs it.

[–]tunawhitenocrustt 4ポイント5ポイント  (6子コメント)

how did you do this? just start washing it twice a week until it eventually stops getting greasy im guessing?

[–]_thedragonscale 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

You will need to deal with a grease build up before your hair gets used to the new washing schedule though.

[–]xfyre101 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

how would you do that

[–]Ironnmonster 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Start slowly. Go every other day for a week then go every 3 days for a week or two. Then go every every 5-7 days then eventually just go every 2 weeks.

I wash my hair once every two weeks or so but I don't really keep track I just wash it when I know it needs to be. All really depends on how sweaty you get / if you work in a dirty enviornment.

I'm latina and have very straight hair and when I was little my mom would wash my hair only twice a week (maybe it's different because of the race) but my hair suffered a lot it was always greasy and breaking and I had these white dots on the roots, the issue was fixed by showering daily. My hair cab only go two days without getting washed or it gets insanely greasy

[–]GunslingerESG 27ポイント28ポイント  (8子コメント)

I'm white, and I have the same type of hair. Maybe it's not connected to race?

[–]emmertsme 25ポイント26ポイント  (3子コメント)

Well everyone was talking about white people's greasy hair but yeah I think it's anybody with straight hair

[–]mittythekitty 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mine's the same way and I have incredibly thick hair. Most people with thick hair don't have to wash theirs as often but if I skip washing my hair for longer than two days it looks horrible.

You're probably white. So as hispanics/latinos we're not a race. Most of us are white with a good portion being black hispanics, Asian hispanics, islanders etc. Most likely you have native American and European blood in you.

[–]rethuglicans 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Latino isn't a race. You can be white and latin. I'm latina with oily haor and washing it sporadically does nothing to help the problem

[–]TWFH 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

A great many latinas are part white.

[–]Gh0stw0lf 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

So being hispanic/Latino doesn't make you not white.

It depends where your ancestors were from but a good majority are white. They just have brown skin. Indeed we also have black hispanics, Asian hispanics, etc.

Hispanic isn't a race guys

[–]TheCastro 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

A lot of it has to do with the soap and shampoo you use, it sucks the moisture and grease out of your head and hair, so your body works harder to produce more, hence super greasy hair. I stopped using shampoo altogether when my hair was short (I'm a guy), now my hair is really long and I still only use water in the shower on it and my scalp. No excess grease and it doesn't tangle. Everyone I know has also sniffed my head as proof it doesn't stink lol.

[–]GenieHunter 21ポイント22ポイント  (17子コメント)

hold on, we're talking about washing hair. not showering. you should be showering every day no matter what

[–]emmertsme 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Go back to r/nopoo cult. This isn't true for everybody. It's great if it worked for you but it is not some magic cure for all seborrhea (oil) or related (dandruff, dermatitis, thinning, etc.) problems.

I went on Accutane and went weeks and weeks without washing my hair because my skin literally did not produce oil. At the time I was not very active so I didn't have to wash my hair often at all, except the rare occasion I somehow got sweaty or actually dirty. I came off Accutane thinking I could try this "infrequent washing" thing (think of all the money I'd save in hair products!) but as my oil levels returned to normal, I could not longer go more than a couple days without my hair being a smelly grease bomb. Of course I gym all day every day now so the idea of not washing my nasty sweaty hair is appalling anyway.

Point being people have different hair and different skin and it's irresponsible to prescribe a one-size-fits-all solution. Like you've discovered some magical hygiene solution LITERALLY NOBODY HAS EVER THOUGHT OF BEFORE. Give me a break.

[–]Lokgar 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I didn't say it was a one stop solution, hence my usage of the words "tend" and the "(usually)". If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. If it does, then it does.

Also I didn't know /r/nopoo existed. Just browsing it, I can already tell it's not my kind of subreddit.

[–]FUCKING_HATE_REDDIT 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Tried that twice, with long and then short hair.

Spent five months with horribly greasy hair the first time, worked reasonably well the second.

[–]infinitezero8 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not exactly.

I am white, have really straight hair.

If i don't wash daily it gets bad.

So, no, generalizing is not the correct answer for hair.

neglect can take years for some hair types.

[–]ligyron 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not true. About once a year i shave my head. When shaved, i only wash my hair with water. By the time it gets an inch long, it starts to look greasy after a shower. So i shampoo, then it needs to be shampoo'd the next day because its greasy again. And so on.

So i dont buy this theory.

You wash with residue free shampoo and simply backcomb to get the dreads started.

[–]PlantMurderer 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

Reddit is shit when people upvote shit posts like that

[–]knottyy 44ポイント45ポイント  (2子コメント)

That is total fucking horse shit. You obviously know nothing about how dreads work. If you have thin hair, I mean think circumference of the hair itself...it will dread on its own if it gets messy. Why do you think combs were invented? To untangle hair. And you can wash your dreads daily if you want to. So much misinformation here.

[–]flatspotting 35ポイント36ポイント  (0子コメント)

That is so incredibly incorrect it's painful. About 10 years ago I had dreads and my hair was the cleanest it had ever been while I had my dreads. (Am white guy). They are created by backcombing your hair to tangle it, it can, and should be freshly washed before doing this - after backcombing it is tied down at the root so it continues to grow this way naturally in the future. You then have to wax and wash the dreads daily, even twice daily at the start, which consists of soaking them in a soap - they have some dread specific ones - letting it lather, then rinsing a couple times to make sure teh soap is out, then waxing again to keep their shape.

I have known a lot of white people who got dreads in their teens or early 20's as an experiment to see, and none of them have ever had dirty hair, or not washed their hair. Please don't make shit up.

*fixed a typo

[–]ProjectileHerpes 31ポイント32ポイント  (0子コメント)

I dated a girl with 10 year old dreads.

They smelled of conditioner.

She made the dreads by back-combing and rolling.

Not all dreads are made cleanly, even for black people.

And as far as dirty that's also completely wrong. Shampoo!

[–]FiercelyFuzzy206 12ポイント13ポイント  (0子コメント)

basically white hair doesn't dread unless it's horribly dirty. even the cleanest white dreads are still disgusting.

This is just...insanely wrong. It's very easy to dread white hair. In fact, dreads are the "natural" way for hair to go once you let it grow out. All it takes is a good backcomb and rolling.

The problem is that many people don't actually get proper items for their dreads. They think they can keep using the same shampoo which is HORRIBLE for dreads. You need to actually clean them, not make them smell good. Oil in dreads is bad, unless it's oil made specifically for dreads.

[–]yobruhh 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm white and tried. They have shampoo specifically for dreads, so it wasn't dirty. It was however, almost impossible to dread. It just would not loc up properly and looked like shit.

[–]tetrapharmakos_ 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

Uhhh, I dated a white guy for two years who had dreads and they never once stunk or were dirty. Your hair doesn't have to be dirty to dread it just can't be washed with anything that has conditioning elements in it. Most people with dreads use Dr Bronners.

Some people just stop brushing and washing their hair, sure, but like.. Not everyone.

[–]iHeartApples 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Coming in as a white girl, does depend on hair. I have crazy curly Jewish hair-curly hair, even for white people, dreads like crazy cuz it's dry as fuck. If I'm not conditioning with that sheamositure on the daily my hair immediately starts to wrap itself into sections.

Not disagreeing because I have yet to see a white person with dreads who I'd willingly share a hat with, always looks gross but is not always that hard to do/require effort.

[–]DaisyLayz 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

You couldn't possibly be more wrong. Dirty hair doesn't dread. It's too slippery. I have white girl dreads and I guarantee you my hair is cleaner than yours.

You are fucking retarded if you think that. You literally have to make the dreads. I know chicks who have no washed their hair in years and it is perfectly clean. You have to make dreads with a dreding tool

I'm Mexican, German, and Choctaw. My hair is thicker than the racial tension in these comments.

How do you suppose my hair acts and should be treated?

I mean, my hair is thick but my skin is on the lighter side. I should probably never get dreads because no matter what I do with them my skin will make them gross I assume.

[–]IHadaFishOnce 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

That only counts for people with perfectly straight hair or the ones losing hair. I'm a white male and my hair naturally grows into a fro. And honestly, growing dreads would hardly take much effort (granted, I would have to grow it for 5-6 months). I get that Beiber probably went through hell and back, but its not the hardest thing in the world for most of us. The whole concept of Zionism was created with jews in mind, so anyone can grow dread, you just have to know how

Dreads are only a 'black-only' thing in the modern world. The ancient Celts had dreads. If you have hair growing on your head and you do the right things it will become dreads, even if it looks a bit different from someone else's hair. These 'white people dreads' are all blonde, but if you've seen someone with thick dark hair sporting dreads it doesn't look like grinch fingers.

There's a ton of people between scandinavian pale blond and nappy-haired african, and they don't stop existing just because everyone wants to separate race into black and white piano keys.

Everyone's hair can get that way natural given enough time and neglect, but that's gross. You can also back-comb and palm-roll it. And unless you're a scuzzo, clean that shit regularly.

It doesn't have to get dirty and gross to dread.

Friend of mine went through a phase where she had dreads, then didn't, then did again. Basically, she just combed it a certain way, then rolled it, etc. She still washed her hair regularly. It wasn't gross or oily or dirty. She had like 18" dreads for a couple years.

[–]StylishStuff 17ポイント18ポイント  (0子コメント)

Also you have to deal with people being racist

[–]MrGlassHands 17ポイント18ポイント  (0子コメント)

Naturally people's hair dreads itself without being combed or brushed. You know when you get those little knots and tangles in your hair, just don't ever comb them out and they will build upon themselves turning into dreads. Contrary to popular belief hair actually dreads better when it's clean. Oily hair doesn't knot up as good nice as oil-free hair. The grinch finger look comes from the process of backcombing to form the dreads. Basically just speeding up the knotting process that for some people could take years. After the dreads move and form on their own they look much more natural. No one may have cared to know this info but I'm bored and figured I'd type it out anyways.

[–]MariacheMustache 9ポイント10ポイント  (3子コメント)

My hair will start dread on its own if I don't brush it out twice a day, wash it daily, and deep condition with multiple products. Even then I will wake up with little tendrils of dread on the back of my hair after sleeping with a top knot and a silk scarf in my hair.

It is generic white girl hair. Not tangles. Dreads.

I used to just cut it all off in a pixie because fighting the dreads was a losing battle.

[–]WBFroguy 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Your hair dreads if you don't brush twice a day? Just out of the blue?

I maybe wash my hair like once or twice a week and literally don't comb it other than when I wash it and it doesn't even tangle let alone dread.

[–]MariacheMustache 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yup. It's weird. Twice a day. Not all over but one or two behind my ears and on my neck.

I have recently been trying every other day washing and new products. It's not as bad as it was when I was a young teen though since I've developed a routine to stop them. It was really bad, big dreads regardless of how often I brushed. It was so embarrassing.

It's not curly or kinky either. It's just something it does.

[–]WBFroguy 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Do you use conditioner?

Yeah idk how knotting works, one of my friends who's Asian with pin straight hair seems to get it tangled constantly but mine is wavy and seemingly never tangles.
