One more question how does anyone cope with dreads if they get nits?
Like could you imagine combing one of these through them

No way man! Some actors do their own stunts; Johnny does his own hair, a trend he pioneered in Edward Sissorhands, for which he spent three years preparing his hair. I recently read an interview with him that described how he spent five years growing his hair out and then getting it dreaded up in preparation for the PotC run. Afterwards, he had about half of it cut off and un-dreaded, and re-shaped into the freakish long hair he had in Sweeny Todd, which is actually how he looks in real life today. He's so hard core he doesn't even believe in hair dye; in order to get that streak of grey, he actually stabbed himself in the scalp with a hot soldering iron to traumatize the hair follicles in that spot and make them go grey.
Just keep an eye out for SilverProteus's avatar to see his real life hair. And, I happen to know that he actually can weave rope out of the hair on his own back - the man is amazing!
And who knows where he's going to take things next... Johnny Depp is a true pioneer in the realm of hairstyle method acting. I s**t you not.
Good fortune,

you can either cut dreads off or dunk your head in a mix of rubbing alcohol and vinegar.

No Disrespect intended to those of you who have dreadlocks-but I honestly do not find them attractive.
In fact, I think they look rather ugly-even if they arent as dirty and filthy as they appear. I guess I prefer to see
smooth, shiny hair on women and even men.

no offense taken. i feel the same way about people with "normal" hair lol
Awww. I don't get a choice about having a traditional haircut, or normal colored hair, if I want my good paycheck. Can't you make some exceptions for those of us with normal hair?

The only dreadlocks I like are those that are found on the Predator.

I know I'm a little late but I've loved dreadlocks for the longest time. I've had my current set for around 10 months now. 
They are sorta orangey-red now, but I am contemplating going darker and more purple sometime soon. Or pinkish? I still can't decide. lol
