Mary in dreads? humm....
Alright, so blame it on the obsession with JBT, or on seminary frying my brains, or on whatever you will...
I'd love dreads in my hair...
I could be as stylish as him or John B.
So, what do you think?
Should I do it?

No, Mary, don't do it . . . your hair is so pretty the way it is :) -- Jenn
Are you going to do the REAL dreads where you go without washing your hair and let it just get really tangly, or are you going to do the dreads that are quick and easy to do (aka have someone do them for you)?
Your Brother says NO!
don't do it!

I am going to go against the grain here and say: yes, do it!
I mean, how bad could it be? You do it for a couple of months and if you hate it, cut it. It won't take that long to grow back to normal.
I would definately do the real dreads.
Any Princeton people have a say about this? You're the ones who have to see me all the time.
Which brother posted by the way?
"Your Brother says NO!"
As if I only had one or something....
aaah - no!
Forget the dreads. Instead, you should dye your hair in lots of different colors. You know, vertical streaks of green, red, blue, white, yellow, etc. Then, each morning when you get up, use a tub (or so) of Crisco (non-flavored or butter) to twist it straight up into a giant, pointy corkscrew. Then you'd look really, really cool!
And just to pre-emptively allay any anxieties--I can give you a broadaxe to carry around if people start calling you "Wonka."
friend...sometimes when girls get dreads, they look like a certain part of a male anatomy...just something to consider :)

Such unfortunate cases have been known to occur...one can have tacky and distrubing dreads, but done right they can be really sweet. Knowing the mistakes of predecessors I would of course avoid such mistakes like the plague.
As for Matt's idea, it reminds me of a hair style my campers gave me one summer at John Knox Ranch. Slight modifications as follows. Instead of one giant, pointy corkscrew there were two, one on the top of my head and the other on the back of my head. And no vertical streaks of color either, just my natural color. Yeah, and makeup like Mimi from the Drew Carey Sho--only worse. Let me tell ya how much I loved that camp activity.
Hmm. maybe you'd want to try braids instead? my sweet little brother had dreads for a couple of months...eventually things started growing in them and he had to shave his head. so my perspective is more one of practicality...i personally wouldn't be a fan of things growing in my hair! ~ brenna
if you're going to try at some point in your life...this may be the time and place to do it...we will love you if it looks horrible or if it looks great! -judy
