I was watching the Westminster Dog Show a couple weeks ago and one of the entries in the working group was a Hungarian Komondor. It brought to mind a young lady I saw in the hospital cafeteria last week. She had dreadlocks or dredlocks, as you like it.

Handwashing Saves Lives!
Now, the young lady in the cafeteria, a hospital employee by the way, had somewhat neater dreads than those pictured above. I guess it isn’t as permanent as a tattoo or a body piercing, but one would have to shave their head to rid themselves of the flora and fauna, not to mention any hitchhikers that may have taken up residence. In my line of work ”hand-washing saves lives”. What do you think about the hygienic quality of those locks?
I read an article online concerning dreadlock maintenance. The recommended method for washing them is to pull a nylon (panty hose?) over your head and proceed to wet your stocking head and apply shampoo to the outside of the nylon and gently massage the masses. I wonder how long it takes to rinse the soap out? Anyway, it seems the most time-consuming part of the dreaded beauty regimen is to make sure the locks are thoroughly dry. The website I visited warned that if the dreadlocks remained damp, it could lead to “dread rot”.
X-tra LG Panty hose please!
Drats! The dreaded dread rot! Would you care to guess that the person below sleeps on his back a lot?
The dreaded dread rot!
Oh dear me, those are just awful looking.
I don’t think I would frequent a hospital where employees run around with hair like that.
So glad to see that you have finally begun to write. Keep it up
Hi Iris! So glad you stopped by! It’s really unusual to see a hospital employee with dreadlocks, which is probably why she caught my eye. I seriously doubt she will have them for very long before someone complains.
The guy with the dread-rot… an upstanding member of the homeless community. Every day is an education and a surprise concerning the habits of the homeless!
Thanks for your encouragement.
