Is it normal to want dreadlocks, and not be a big smoker?

Hi,

I'm 18, and think dreads are quite nice. I've got medium to long hair, and want dreads that aren't too long, but that just cover my neck. Is it normal to want them, and acceptable, even if i don't do any drugs, or am into that scene? Maybe im stereotyping, but every dread i've met is into that to some extent of some kind.

Thanks very much,

Josh

    Normal. When I was a kid in 6th grade I knew a girl with dreads. She probably still has them. Just make sure to keep your hair clean, or you'll smell like her.

    Dreads can get really dirty. Just saying.

    Sure, wear dreads. It'd be cool. Just know that not everybody with dreads does drugs.

    Dreads only get dirty if you don't take care of them. I'd say go for it, doesn't matter what else you're into, people don't fit into neat little boxes anyway.

    Dreads can look nice if you maintain them especially if you have the hair for them. I must admit that I usually assume people with dreads smoke marijuana.

    Maybe you can be the one to change that stereotype ;)

    Very normal. Dreads look awesome. And just because you would have dreads, most people won't presume that you do drugs (although you may get the occassional joke about it).

    All in all, just because you buy into an image, it doesn't mean that you have to buy into the whole culture that you associate with it, and visa versa.
