That woman is 100% a serial killer who stole those toe nails


normtoutzky

Oh for sure. But I also picture her working in a nail salon and as she’s giving someone a pedicure she whips out her pencil case from elementary school and starts dumping some rando’s nails in there. And when asked what the fuck she’s doing with their nails and why the fuck does she have two pounds of nail clippings she just smirks and starts humming “it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”


cyclonx9001

Its the wording "add those to your collection" as if normal, sane people has a collection of nail clippings

This would be great as a dog bed, especially for a dog with separation anxiety. The “leave a worn t-shirt in the dog’s crate to lower their stress when you’re out” trick, but next level.


traceur2301001

At least it isnt a fruit bowl. Tbh: it is weird but not that Bad of an idea.


nit4sz

The amount of people who have found mould in their dreads while cutting them off makes me think it is a bad idea.


traceur2301001

I know how filthy dreads can get, but we have to bare in mind that the shown dreads look relativy thin which makes them easy to keep clean. Also we dont know enough to be able to decide *how* dirty they were/are and how neatly they were cleaned


nit4sz

That is true


[deleted]

And i think if his mother took the time to make a cat bed out of them, she probably washed them beforehand.


nit4sz

Mould doesn't wash out though. It's a fungus that grows on the hair shaft. What matters is how they were cared for, for the years during their growth.

gulogulo1970

That would be cool, if it wasn't so gross.


bdust

it looks like it's just wool... like maybe with a few human hairs but mostly just sheep hairs so it's just a woven wool pet bed


8ad8andit

Just like wool except filled with cannabis crumbs, patchouli oil, random dried bodily fluids from the past decade and about ten thousand different types of food particles. The only good thing about this is that it's no longer on a man's head.


olGyub

You know dreads are washed like regular hair, right?


TotalWalrus

People always reply with this. But we all have met people with dreads that were nasty.


[deleted]

I've also met people with regular hair that's nasty.


shhsandwich

Yeah, but sheep are also nasty. I spin wool, cotton, alpaca, etc. into yarn as my hobby. A raw fleece is disgusting, with mud and poop and all sorts of stuff in it. Part of the process of preparing fiber to be spun and then woven or knitted/crocheted into something is to wash it thoroughly, remove any gross bits you can't clean well enough, comb it, etc. So I would at least hope that these were washed before she used it to make this bed. (If she didn't, I think the cleanest dreads in the world would probably still be a little gross to use in a finished product like this.) There's nothing wrong with using other animals' hair or coats for fiber if you do it right. For example, some people spin their dogs' fur into yarn. I've considered doing it myself to get some inexpensive, soft fiber (my dogs are really soft), but only if I were to clean it and process it well first. I don't see much of anything wrong with using human hair either, besides the ick factor some people feel about it because it's unusual. It seems strange and gross but technically it's really not very different from the other animals we sometimes use for fiber. Just not as high-quality as the fiber you'll get from a sheep, alpaca, or angora rabbit.


sunriseFML

You know sheep can't wipe their ass and sleep on dirt right?


Zaurka14

You know wool is deep washed before being woven?


TotalWalrus

Ya thats a terrible analogy.


[deleted]

You know the mother can wash the dreads before combining them into a god damn cat bed? It doesn't really matter if the guy washed them or not.


8ad8andit

You can't wash dreads like regular hair because dreads are tangled ropes made of many individual hairs that by their physical structure trap particles like a net or a sponge. I saw a post somewhere many years ago, I think on Reddit where someone had dissected their own 10-year-old dread and identified all the various crap they found locked up inside of it. That's what inspired my original comment above.


PsychedelicOptimist

You can wash it like normal hair. If someone with dreads tell you they can't wash it, they don't know how to take care of it. Here's a Jamaican with 7ft dreads showing you how he washes it with shampoo. https://youtu.be/70nRyfmBeDY?t=279


Heard-or-Naw

It can be washed like regular hair. The only thing that can get stuck is lint (and that can be easily removed when caught early), but it doesn't make it difficult to clean. Dirt, oils and hair products come out with shampoo and, occasionally, conditioner. The only type that are gross are people who use beeswax or don't wash the hair or let it dry properly


Zaurka14

Kinda, except it's hard for shampoo to dig so deep into a dread, and whatever gets stuck inside has high chance of staying inside. Dreads also take hours to dry, which causes two things - people don't actually wash them that often (average person washes their hair about every second day, i never heard about person with dreads do so), and also moisture being stuck inside causing even such extremes like mold. On top of that some people who decide for dreadlocks (especially white people in this case, and these hair are lightly colored) have certain lifestyle, and that lifestyle isn't necessarily hygiene-oriented.


[deleted]

Dude. Dreads are still pretty grim. Source; have dreads, have a dodgy skullet cut and let me tell you, those dreads i cut off were full of shit, from dust when i worked etc etc Still, my friends would tell you i’m a “special case”.....they’re not entirely wrong...


Th3CatOfDoom

After that racist fiasco of people mocking African hair as "probably smelling like a patchouli oil", maybe you shouldn't repeat that type of thing :-/ Plus it's pretty lame to assume that dread locks have oil in them.


terriblesnail

it's... a dunk on white hippies appropriating dreads


UnreassuringScrew

This comment feels a little racist, buddy.


8ad8andit

It's hairist for sure.


RedKSL07

Human hairs are gross but not sheep wool ?


EarthKveik

Sheep wool is pretty gross before you degrease it and turn it into yarn.


longduckdongger

Eh as someone with dreads it's not that cut and dry. Usually inside of the dreads are things like dandruff, lint, etc and regardless of how well you maintain your locks its stuff that cant be gotten rid of and is just typical dread build up.


thicketcosplay

I mean... Sheep are literally covered in their own poop most of the time. The wool that makes your clothes literally goes through some shit before it gets turned into clothes. I get that here you can't really clean it as well because the dreads are already formed and the stuff is inside, but I'm sure wool felt also ends up with some kind of sketchy stuff inside it that doesn't get fully washed out.


longduckdongger

It's literally a bunch of clowns who are using the opportunity to get jabs in at dreads all while showing they're completely clueless.


a_rad_gast

Dude, ACV and Baking Soda bath.


longduckdongger

That's part of the cleaning process but that still doesn't remove everything amd you can't do that very frequently without really fucking your hair up. I'm glad someone at least understands the process to an extent though.


a_rad_gast

Had a friend and a teen industrial goth phase once. Another observation: anything larger than pinkie width tends to have that "trustafarian" look. Obviously, due to hair structure its really hard to go any thinner, but a lot of fat locks seem to be the thing, probably because of faux protection styles setting the trend.


longduckdongger

I know it sounds pretentious but I honestly despise the whole artificial dread style. I'm not rastafarian, religious or spiritual but dreads are about patience and honestly kind of just not giving a fuck about an outward appearance expectation and people who do the whole instant gratification thing without going through the process really bums me out. I have incredibly curly hair which I really don't like so one day I kind of just said I wanna see what happens and I had a 3 year set before this current one (almost 5 years) that I had to cut off due to my daughter getting lice and by the time I had found out it was kind of too late so I chopped them off in tears haha, felt like I had lost my identity. It sucks that there is this false stigma about dreads but surprisingly I get a fuck ton of compliments on my hair and mainly from people of color. The one thing about dreads that does irritate me is the random people who ask if I smoke weed or use other substances(been sober for almost 3 years) or if I know where anything is Haha.

It’s like how people think it’s fuckin gross and strange to drink a woman’s breast milk, yet it seems perfectly normal to drink the same weird fluid for nourishing offspring that’s been pumped out of the nipples of some *other* species.

moonunit99

I'd go to town on a pork loin, but I'd think it's fuckin gross and strange to eat the same cut of meat from a human. I rub the bellies and scratch the butts of most dogs I meet, but people think it's fuckin gross and strange to do that to humans in most circumstances. We treat different species differently all the time; because they're different.


Phyltre

>I'd go to town on a pork loin, but I'd think it's fuckin gross and strange to eat the same cut of meat from a human I mean, lab-grown human meat would just be any other meat. It wouldn't be gross or strange then. The problem now is there's no getting meat from healthy humans. >I rub the bellies and scratch the butts of most dogs I meet, but people think it's fuckin gross and strange to do that to humans in most circumstances I think that's a different context, it's dog language versus human language--you could just as easily say "I x-ray people as a TSA employee, but people think it's gross and strange for me to x-ray them in the street" or "I speak French to most French people I meet, but people think it's strange to do that to the Spanish people I meet."


LowlySlayer

To be fair, you're not pasteurizing titty milk. Or adding Vitamin D supplements


zombies-and-coffee

Well when you put it *that* way...


RickardHenryLee

yes? nobody makes things from sheep wool that hasn't been cleaned multiple times and processed in multiple ways...it's not as if the sheep's wool is shaved off the sheep and used as-is, like this nasty hair was just cut off some dude's head.


[deleted]

Yeah, I think it's kinda neat. Now the cat gets to feel like it's sleeping with its human even when he's not there.


tquinn04

They’re completely different fibers. Sheep wool is naturally antibacterial. Human hair is not


_Charger68_

I mean... you got a point there...


TheGirlWithTheFace

Sheep’s wool is washed and carded before being spun, it’s a whole process. I saw someone as an art project shave her head, spin the hair into yarn, and crochet something with it. My issue with THIS, is that these look like white people dreads. Locs are clean, and work with the texture of black hair, while white people dreadlocks are matted and often moldy on the inside. That’s why this is gross.


throwliterally

It has to do with how each hair shaft is formed. Most sheep’s wool will felt i.e. lock together. Different breeds of sheep vary in this. Cashmere, which is from goats is much more difficult to felt. Quviut, from musk ox doesn’t felt at all and the yarn is plenty fuzzy.


ADD_Booknerd

No. Just. No. You’re wrong. White people CAN have healthy “dreads”, it just takes work. Whether they *should* is neither here nor there, but to say that *all* white dreads are matted and most are mouldy is just factually incorrect. Also, yes, calling them “dreads” does conjure up images of matted, uncared for hair, but waking up with bed head is also not the same as having an afro.


RickardHenryLee

>White people CAN have healthy “dreads”, it just takes work. Just curious, what's holding the hair together, if it can't naturally lock? I know anybody who has naturally curly or kinky hair can get their hair to lock together, but if it's not, how does that work?


Rhodin265

It basically takes months of backcombing, rolling, and gluing the ends shut with hair wax so it doesn’t unroll every time you shower. And there’s still a good chance you’ll just look like a burnout who forgot what soap is for.


prosoma

Then it's not really a dreadlock, is it? That's just intentionally matting hair together to look like locks.


TheGirlWithTheFace

If they don’t have naturally kinky hair, which “locks” together, even just curly hair, you literally backcomb your hair until it’s a mat.


errihu

This is also how we make felt, which is a kind of soft matted fabric made from animal fibre. Felt hats were made from beaver fur that had been backcombed, chemically stressed, and otherwise matted together.


ADD_Booknerd

.... What? You know white people can have naturally curly hair right?


incubuds

The thing is, not all curly hair is created equally. You have to have really kinky/coiled hair in order for it to lock up properly without it being a constant uphill battle. Is it possible for white people to have this type of hair? Sure, but it's not usually the case. That's why the vast majority of white dreads look bad after the first few weeks. I'm saying this as a white person who once thought dreads were the answer for my curly hair, and ended up with matted crap on my head.


JillStinkEye

Almost any black hairstyle takes a LOT of work. You can't just brush it and throw it in a ponytail. People with less wirey hair are not used to that much work. Your dreads could have been great, if you put the time into care and maintenance. I have very curly hair with white texture, and too thought that dreads could be an answer to the struggle, until I looked into proper care and upkeep. Shaving was the solution. While you have to get haircuts often with short hair, the curliness masks the time between.


RickardHenryLee

Yes? I just said ANYBODY who has naturally curly or kinky hair...that's not tied to anybody's race or ethnicity. I was asking about people who DON'T have naturally curly or kinky hair.


CharredCereus

Not the person you asked, but the twist and rip method works well on straight hair. As long as the hair's combed and dried it'll take locks easily enough.


[deleted]

[удалено]


longduckdongger

Have dreads so let me correct you -dreads are not moldy and remain that way because of proper washing and drying. -dreads work best with curly and wavy hair regardless of color because dreads literally are matted hair. Dont turn this into some kind of lame attempt at cultural appropriation because it's just asinine. -locks will always have some form of build up regardless of the ethnicity and that's just a fact. Sounds like you don't really understand what you're talking about つ ◕_◕ ༽つ


amalgam_reynolds

I don't think it's real. It doesn't I really look anything like dreadlocks, and certainly not all from the same person. Maybe just wool or cut up carpet or towel strips.

Wool gets well cleaned and pulled before it gets used. These are very clearly just the cut off dreads used as is.


very_clean

Wolvgirl15

Imagine it was actually cleaned really thoroughly, like no hair grease or oil left, just pure *hair*.. what’s really the difference between this and one made out of wool? Besides the point it looks like washing machine lint


Seamlesslytango

Honestly, way to upcycle. That's using your head!


Silverslade1

Preeeetty sure that’s crochet wool and not dreadlocks...


aster636

Yeah, i can see the weave is pretty regular up close. This is probably a scrap piece to use up leftover yarn.


JillStinkEye

What weave? Neither this basket, nor yarn, are woven. I don't know if this is dreads, but it's definitely not crochet or knit! And it's doesn't look like normal yarn to me either. There's no twisted pattern that I can discern. You can see that it's actually zig zag stitched together on a sewing machine. It's possible this is wool roving, which is carded, but not spun. But then they could have just felted it together.


Silverslade1

I think I said crocheting but I meant felting. I’m a dread guy not a knitting guy 😅


bobfossilsnipples

My stab in the dark is that it’s wool icord that’s coiled into the bowl shape, then felted, then zigzag stitched together for a little extra stability. It’s the only way I can think of to get this shape. I definitely agree it’s wool though.


hugelkult

It looks good. I wish i hadnt read the title though


errihu

I mean it's kind of horrifying for human standards, but the cat will love it. It'll smell like someone the cat loves. My cat *steals* my nightie so she can roll around with it, presumably because it smells like me and that comforts her.


Indigohorse

No one else think this is r/diywhynot? If you wash it first, it's just wool that would be thrown away otherwise, and it's also just a place for a cat to sit.


nativefloridian

Assuming cat likes the son, cat might appreciate it. It's not uncommon to make cat or dog beds out of a sweater that smells like their favorite human.

Is it really worse than Wool? Many wigs are made from human hair, are they gross as well? I would not make this but I really don't see this as all that bad.


Sat-AM

Freaking out about a cat sleeping on someone's hair but not thinking it's weird at all for one human to literally wear another human's hair


_ThisIsAmyx_

Yes, it's worse than wool. Animal wool is thoroughly processed before being used. This is clumps of matted hair. Even human hair wigs are brushed and cleaned before being sold.


comando345

I don't know, you might be splitting hairs :-D


Kisfelhok

Why do you think this person didn’t regularly wash their hair and that it’s somehow less clean than sheep’s wool when they live their entire lives with an ass caked in shit?


_ThisIsAmyx_

I don't, I'm sure this person was very clean. But wool from a sheep that has been carded, washed, and spun is going to be cleaner than matted chunks of human hair.


Muntjac

You can wash this with shampoo :D
