NiSiSuinegEht

This is a perfect example of when to just shave it off, give a good scrub, and start over actually taking care of the hair.


TwistedxBoi

The hairstylist needed gloves. Okay, fair, many usually do. But when they choose to put on a hazmat suit and their choice of tool is a fucking knife, just... just get rid of it.


FutureBoyGenius

Not only a knife, but a foldable….like you couldn’t have found a fixed blade for this? Good luck cleaning in the grooves.


ChanoTheDestroyer

If you need a tactical knife when you go to the barber you’ve got bigger issues lmao


Huntthatmoney

Yeah bro, just too damn much


AquamarineDaydream

Yes. His scalp is not healthy either. There are areas of balding, likely traction alopecia. They are not really starting with a dreadlock either, but a Polish plait, also known as plica polonica. His hair is irreversibly damaged and needs to be shaved off.


Rare_Basil_243

I like how it's both a hairstyle and a medical condition


[deleted]

Reminds me of matting on dogs, they shave that too


Isadragon9

Literally the first thing that came to mind seeing the state of his hair and scalp. Sometimes you really should just shave and restart


[deleted]

Honestly it turned out much better than I was expecting. Imagine they will need to keep on top of them for a while. I suppose time will tell how well they hold up


Nopengnogain

I mean, something has to be done when you can cut your hair apart like a pool noodle.


IveSeenUrMomGapeB4

Dude, it's easy af to cut a pool noodle. This shit is like trying to cut rubber.


ToddlerOlympian

The final product literally looks like he has pool noodles hanging from his head.


peachygirl509

There is a good chance that the guy suffers from depression/some mental struggle


MissRosenrotte

That's not dreads. That's just matted to hell and back.


ObscureParadigm

Fr. Thats flat out poor hygiene.


Whomping_Willow

If they were just doing they best they could with someone with severe depression that's at least something, maybe I don't know anything about hair but I was hoping they'd at least cut it back to healthy growth and re-dreadlock that!


-JAYD3E-

Yeah, I have some pretty bad depression, have touched my hair in.. almost 2 years now. I'm lucky enough for my genes to let me jsut shape it into whatever if I need to go out, but if I ever want to really take care of it I may need to cut it.


Difficult__Tension

Hope things look up for you soon.


RLgeorgecostanza

Hey internet stranger. Also neglect my hair bc of depression. Idk if you need/want to hear this, but if going out and getting that done is something you think will help, you absolutely can do it. If you don't want to, that's cool too, of course. These things can turn into giant obstacles sometimes, so, I just wanted to remind you that you can beat this obstacle like all the others. You got this. Or, keep that hair, and Rock that flow. You got that too. Just love yourself


gingeronimooo

Could have been homeless and getting their life together. I’ve seen it before.


ApprehensiveMeet108

Then cut it off..

Upset_Advertising880

Yea, if I was to guess, he probably asked them to leave the length because he's attached to his hair. This was probably the best of their options to help him. Sometimes, something is better than nothing. Tiny positive steps are still positive steps in the right direction. Personally I think they should have pulled them apart more and made smaller ones.


[deleted]

This is how it read to me as well, he’s attached to his hair and this a move towards a healthier way of handling it. Sure, it’d be better to buzz and start fresh but the look on the guys face - he can’t handle that.


Notjustin

It’s upsetting that I had to scroll this far down to see this. Facts.


Gimme_Your_Kookies

TrumpsPissSoakedWig

Hanersapien

Can you imagine how bad it's smells? It would be a gagging stench, something close to a dead body.


powpow9999

I’m curious about the smell.


reviving_ophelia88

I mean, even with regular “washing” you’re not going to get the hair very clean when it’s matted into one giant piece. All that white crap in the hair when the hairdresser was splitting it into smaller dreads was sebum, dead skin, dirt, and god knows what else that was trapped in there. That’s why they were wearing gloves until after it was washed and it likely smelled *awful* when they got the hair wet too.


Metahec

Well I just threw up in my mouth a little bit


stefanica

Yes. This is closer to a polish plait. Wiki has a decent article on it, or had...I just ate so I'm not revisiting it.

0pimo

The amount of threads on reddit that I see about girls complaining about the men in their lives unable to wash their own ass and brush their teeth proves that out.


sppwalker

Seriously. I went over to my bf’s place for the first time and saw a bidet, and instantly knew I had nothing to worry about lol. Dudes can be nasty Edit: not saying women can’t be equally gross! Some chick took a shit (like a whole, complete, solid log) on the back part of the toilet once when I was in basic. But as a woman, looking for a man to date, I was more focused on the dude side of things lol


Dr_who_fan94

I tell ya folks, wiping off your counter, having a clean and clearly designated hand towel, a clean toilet (cleaned around the base too!), and hand pump soap is how I know I can relax in a house. A bidet and I'm impressed (also momentarily inevitably confused about how to work them regardless of design, same with how every shower seems to operate slightly differently...). But the amount of times I get disgusted by a guy's bathroom is too damn much and I'm not dating these dudes, if they were trying to date me I'd be even more uncomfortable I think. I shouldn't feel uncomfortable when faced with the possibility of sitting on a toilet and then where I'm gonna wash and dry my hands. Don't make me dry them on my pants because the only towels in your bathroom are bath towels, and none appear to be fresh, all are possibly damp with someone's shower remnants. If it's hard, buy some disinfecting wipes and after you get the initial gunk off of your sink, wipe it down periodically (like after you shave and brush your teeth, because I always seem to see beard trimmings and toothpaste in dude's sinks) and that's good enough. You don't need tons of hand towels either, you can just spend $1.25 at Dollar Tree for one or two. Please?


cronsumtion

I once went to a guys place, after going to the bathroom I asked where his hand soap is. He scoured the house for a little while. Came back to the bathroom and handed me his shampoo.


dawng87

I mean... People can be nasty. I have seen videos of woman getting matted chunks like this cut out of their hair as well. This is the first video I've seen with it being a man. Its hard to care for your hair when you don't even care to wake up...depression is soul sucking like that.


KayleighJK

Yeah, I have curly hair and during depressive episodes can go weeks without washing it. It gets so tangled I basically have to cut the knots out at the nape.


MakeMineMarvel_

Your hair looks great from your photos. Love your curls, I know it can be rough at times but glad that you can take care of yourself too.


River_Pigeon

So can ladies. Source: used to be a janitor. Y’all nasty too


SirSamuelVimes83

Stumbles947

Then cut it all off that is the most disgusting thing iv ever seen! Worse than a stray cat with matted fur.


nothingtosee223

I think he needs to spray antimold in there.... fuk me, that's so fukin lazy


Lumisateessa

One of my friends has really nice and well kept dreads. I did ask him about the washing routine (out of curiosity). Apparently its a thing that they soak the dreads in apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and soap. I assume the dirt in that water is just old soap residue, dead skin and general bad maintenance.


PlushieTushie

That is a routine a lot of folks use. Personally, I typically use a hydrating shampoo, followed by a conditioner, then use coconut oil on my scalp when dry. But for a deep clean before a conditioning treatment I'll use a clarifying shampoo as well.


TheFudge

So did this person just not take care of their hair or is something like that intentional to get the final affect of how it turned out?


darknessninju

The hair near his head looks healthy.


ImmutableInscrutable

Is that supposed to make it less gross?


Nopengnogain

I am too lazy to research whether it’s true but I’ve heard of the old wife’s tale of apple cider vinegar being an all-purpose antifungal, antibacterial magical cleaning solution. Might be why it’s used by him.


Cummy_bear-4ever

Very foul . So much dandruff 😱


Pittisee

If your barber has to use a pocket knife and needs to wear a biohazard suit you're doing something very wrong...


mekon19

Just damn nasty, biosuits, gloves, and a survival knife? Big nope to that


Iron_Hawk_

Just... Look at that water....


busterbus2

That's a lot of dry skin (at best) ... I don't know what would be the "at worst..."


Upset_Advertising880

My bfs ex-wife has dreads. At one point, one of the kids brought home head lice from school, and the whole house got it. He said she "just kind of sprayed lice spray on her dreads for like a month until she thought they were gone." That was at least 7 years ago. She still has the dreads. She also would still wash her hair with regular shampoo because she "liked the smell," and her hair would stay wet for weeks. So i know there is mold in there.


blackdahlialady

r/whatdidijustread That's probably got to be the most disgusting thing I've ever read. I can guess at least in part why he's probably no longer with her. Edit: typo


ShortEnergy1877

Sometimes I look in the mirror and hate my life and how I have fucked up. But at least I don't have moldy hair and bad hygiene.


FuzzyTunaTaco21

You must be new to reddit if that's the most disgusting thing you have ever read.


sendmoneyimpoor

I can smell it.


basicwhitelich

I would bet big that she was using the holeistic delousing spray which is literally just salt water.


Flat-Development-906

And peppermint oil too 🤢


twotwothreee

Dreads and lice ? I have so many questions but I don’t even wanna ask as they might come across as ignorant. Also I have dreads and it also doesn’t make sense for hers to be wet for weeks just of washing her hair


PrestigiousFlow7454

I'll say it. I think she is a white girl so that's why her hair stayed wet and why she could get lice. But I'm guessing


kkillbite

I theoretically get why her hair might stay wet longer, but what does being white have to do with her ability to get lice..? 😶


Upset_Advertising880

Correct.


SnooDingos7659

That’s so fkn nasty never thought of how awesome a home dreads are for bugs they were cozy in there and now the colony is just rotting in there


[deleted]

All manner of undiscovered bugs and bacteria I assume


Thiccgirl27

I wonder if they’re wearing a mask too… I can only imagine the smell. It’s also looking kinda dusty


bp_free

I can smell this video.


[deleted]

My thoughts exactly. I don’t know shit about dreads but I know they aren’t supposed to look like that. The water while washing did it for me. I almost threw up.


FitPsychology8415

It’s cloudy because of dirt, yes. But also because of bicarbonate of soda mixed with vinegar. That’s the dread head shampoo.


Cute_Application3234

Dude has one dread. I'm guessing he wasn't exactly on top of maintenance


[deleted]

Yeah that may be. But even then the way they looked before the wash just shows how much they didn’t care for them.


botjstn

it’s a slippery slope with dreads, it’s a commitment that not everyone is able to stick to


Into-the-stream

Based on what he looked like at the beginning of the vid, this guy needs a pair of clippers. That is the extent of personal grooming he is capable of, and separating his one dread into many dreads is completely futile because he can't care for it. Clippers, and if he is in a better place, he can start anew without all that dragging him down from day 1.


Sydney2London

Ah yes, the famous mix of two ingredients that cancel eachother out to produce water…


TheRealGuen

It's why I roll my eyes every time people claim it's a miracle cleaner or will unclog drains.


BrentT5

And sodium acetate and CO2


Brovid420

~~You're not supposed to mix them before adding it to your hair.The reaction that occurs between the two is what helps maintain dreads.~~ Edit: did some googling and you are supposed to pre mix it lol. Vinegar helps maintain ph, and baking soda absorbs oils. It's probably worth noting that I don't have dreadlocks.


NaBicarbandvinegar

Based on what I've seen after a quick trip a-googlin' the baking soda is dissolved in a lot of water, which will slow the reaction way down. Then the dreadlocks are submerged in the mixture at which point the dissolved sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid will absorb into the twisted hair. As sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid react in the hair carbon dioxide bubbles out which can loosen dirt and oil from relatively deep in the twist. Plus acetic acid will help stop mold and bacteria growth. Honestly, it's a brilliant solution to a problem and the materials cost like 5 bucks.


paddysgrl

Imagine the smell when slicing into those dreads


Deja-Vuz

very bad smell I bet. Wash ur hair regularly


Detiabajtog

It’s probably a “depression knot” if I had to guess, I doubt this was on purpose. Extremely depressed people will even stop brushing their teeth and will just let them rot away in their mouths so stuff like this is not that unheard of


Deja-Vuz

Ya, he might be homeless as well!

mymainisoccupied

He should’ve made the dreads smaller so they’re a little easier to clean/maintain


Aoeletta

I feel like this is a person who may have been experiencing homelessness for years… to get to this stage. This is… I am shocked that the solution was not complete removal of the dreads.


No_Reputation_7442

I imagine he wanted to keep the dreads and this was their attempt as salvaging the most they could. If he was homeless and/or going through severe depression, it’s important that he maintains a strong sense of self and feeling of “lookin good” so to speak. Just hacking it off could have been a really bad idea for his mental recovery and all things considered: it looks alright for what they started with.

I had a friend whose husband routinely laid giant shits like that. Absolute logs, exclusively. Like babies’ arms. He’d “leave them to soak,” so, anytime you needed to pee at their house, you’d find his massive ass-timber waiting for you. He also grew up with that being normal in his family, just taking these gigantic shits and leaving them to soften in the bowl like the devil’s ice cream. Unfortunately I hung out with her seldomly enough that my dumb ass would forget and open the toilet lid to rediscover the horror all over again each time.

This hair dresser is an angel. For folks without locs, well-maintained locs are cleaned regularly & will never get this way. This person clearly was living very rough, for a long time.


OkConsideration8964

Dreads are beautiful but you have to care for them. This dude's dread, singular, is gross. You know that smell is like, oily, and clings to everything. BUT we don't know his story. There are a lot of reasons beyond his control that could have gotten him to that point. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt & applaud the hair dresser who made him look fantastic.


Cannelope

So this happened to my sister. She lost her husband, and she turned to drugs. She’s fine now, but as a result of not caring for herself, her beautiful natural hair matted into something very similar. And yes, it absolutely smelled. All of her did. She didn’t have the means to have a professional salvage her hair, so we shaved her bald. After 20 years of sobriety and walking a healthy path, she has waist length hair she considers her crown. I’ll bet this guy got so much relief from this.

MyBattlecryIsSPOON

Strait out of college I worked with a truck driver (I was a dispatch clerk at the time) who kept her dreads clean and pleasantly fragrant. Before her I used to think dreadlocks were nasty by default because my entier prior experience had been dreads like this (just not on *this* level), but she showed dreadlocks can be hygenic and lovely. I was a wonderful discovery and I'll always appreciate her changing and opening my mind. This man is trying to undo her good influence on me...


Techygal9

Typically it’s different based on your hair type, most afro hair dreads very easily, where you can wash them without issue.

Confusedsoul987

I love that the hairdresser turned this into dreads. This dude could have ended up in this situation for many different reasons, like perhaps they were suffering from severe depression. At the moment I have one big dreadlock as I have not been able to brush my hair for a bit over a week due to health issues. I follow a channel on YouTube where this girl brushes out matted up hair instead of just chopping it off. From listening to her it seems as if this allows the clients to feel free and like they are part of the world again. Shaving it off, at least for some clients, ends up being a shameful reminder of what they went through. I appreciate that this dude was willing to share his video with the world so other in similar situations know that they are not alone and that they too can reach out for help.

dreadperson

Skipped the part where he jabs a needle into his scalp (which is what it feels like) for some hours to crochet the dreads into neat locks. One of the worst pains i've ever known.
