not really....when I was a young hippie chick instead of the ageless one I am now, I thought dreads were butt ugly then too.

so my opinion about them hasn't changed....

Must admit I don't like dreads either--think they only look good on sadhus

, though I've met some very nice people who have them. What I really hate is the local pizza place, Mellow Mushroom (it's actually a chain but doesn't feel like one http://www.mellowmushroom.com/

which is a very fun/cool & delicious restaurant, has many waiter & waitresses with giant heads of dreads & it freaks me out to think something is falling out of their hair into my food! They don't make them cover their heads.
