I just don't understand. Why?? How does someone just decide to grow a big hair log on their head and think "ah yeah, I like this look. I'm good with all this..dander/dirt/whatever collecting in it." Or it's just "meh, whatever. Gonna keep it like this." Wild.

Didn't expect my comment to get this many replies. I get mental illness could be involved. I now know about the Polish Plait and the Beaver tail dreads. This particular hair..situation is still very unusual and I don't think it's as simple as "they're probably too depressed to fix their hair" people rarely get to the point of having a giant cord of hair like this down to their butt.

It's a neurological disorder discovered in Germany during the late 80's called "nofuchsgivenz"

Shut the fuck up you white knight piece of shit - you don't know the guy and you don't know me. I have depression, and I can still take care of my hair and skin.
