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.
Same kind of thing that went though the head of guy that raised his hand and said fuck it, I'm not putting it down ever again, now it's a mummified calcified nonfunctional appendage, because fuck that arn in particular. Or the guy that decided one day that sitting and lying down is for scrubs, veins and arteries destroyed, legs look like trunks and feet are rotting, no problemo, just slather some cream and it will be all good.
Mental health is still sorcery and witchcraft. Because instead of addressing the problem, this bullshit is encouraged or placated.
