It's one thing to let your hair down, but to grow it and knot it and twist it and turn it
- you gotta be a head case to do that. Dreadz is more dan a hair style, man, itz a way of
life. Without splitting hairs, how long are your dreads and how long have you been growing
them? Now you can no longer just wash and go, when was the last time you scrubbed that
scalp? And let's cut to the chase: would you ever have doze dreadz snipped off?
