I thought drreads => nastiness:

So, my girlfriend at the sectioned off my hair into 1" squares (my hair was about 3 in long). So I had this spikey do for awhile. I used a very fine comb, similar to a flee brush and back-combed the sections so they would dread up. I had these 1" dread nubs sticking out for a couple months.

One day I got in my car and I couldn't move my head because my hair was pinned to the seat. I decided no guy should ever have that problem and cut them off less than a week later. Here's two pics:
