The Tale of the Dreadlocks

Prologue

By: Kyle Harris

Some people say that the first thing someone notices about you is your hair; that your hair is what can define you. Ancient Indian tribes believed that when you got a haircut, you were cutting off part of your soul. Hairstyles are fun, but when you decide to change the hairstyle you've had for most of your life, well, that's when hairstyles can become... scarestyles.

By: Derrick Acosta

"Okay, this is a true story. A friend of mine had two people who worked at a hair salon. And one day, a man came in with dreadlocks...This is a true story. This guy came in with dreadlocks that he hadn't cut for years, maybe ten years. And they were the nappiest looking dreadlocks ever. You ever see dreadlocks that just look like one solid clump of hair? This guy just had one, like, turd on his head.
And he said, 'You know what? I just want to cut these off. I don't want them anymore. Shave 'em right off.'
So they started cutting his dreadlocks and then, out of nowhere, the man starts screaming and jumps up out of his chair and runs out of the salon. And they, they never saw him again.
And he died.
And he was, he was referred there, he was referred there by a friend, who was a regular, so the friend came into the salon, right? And they tell him the story:
'H-Hey your friend came in here to get his dreds cut and he ran out.'
'...He died.'
'He died?'
'Apparently there was a nest of black widows in his hair. And wh-And when they started cutting it off, the widows became so angry they started biting his scalp and he started screaming and ran out of the place and died from the poisoning...'

Have a good night!"
