Today is Dread Awareness Day (at least on my blog)

There are so many people that don't know much about dreads except for the stereotypes.

Here are a couple of myths:

1. Dreads don't wash their hair and they are dirty.
    Couldn't be more wrong there. I have to have clean hair, I wash with a natural shampoo-- Ebelegy plug here!

2. Dreads are just for druggies.
    Again, wrong although some do drugs -- a ton don't and there are a lot that dread for Jesus.

3. Dreads are for spiritual only.
    No, there are a ton that do it because it's just easier!

4. Dreads are for African Americans.
    Wrong again, anyone can wear them even 3 year old white girls.

5. Dreads are for hippies only.
    There are some really conservative people that have dreads because they like them and like how easy it is to care for them.

6.  You need wax to get dreads.
      Only if you want to have moldy looking dreads. Truth is, you can do them naturally just by backcombing or even more naturally by stop brushing your hair.

What are some myths you have heard???
