Dreads are not an excuse to avoid bathing. Dirty hair cannot be called dreads, knappy is about as kind I would get for that.
Actually, knappy really isn't the right word here. ALL human hair is knappy. As in, capable of locking up. Most folks don't realize it because of all the toxic chemicals and crap they put in their hair. SLS in particular. Residues. Poisons. Yuck. Ew even. If you only knew what you were putting into your hair.
I am very defensive about this issue actually. I have vibrant clean sweet smelling locks. Healthy locks. And all the damn time I am subject to the stereotypes of the ignorant and small minded, and it doesn't help matters none that so many people are ignorant to what really makes locks, and do moronic things that only further the stereotypes.
And every time there is some pop culture moment involving dreadlocks, like say, Sharktales, there is a fresh batch of ignorance that blossoms. I am really quite sensitive to the issue.
Peace love and knappiness.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
