Thinking About Those Jimmy Butler Dreads
Alright, let’s talk about something I noticed a while back – Jimmy Butler showing up with those long dreadlocks. Caught my eye, for sure. It was a big change from his usual look. Honestly, it got me thinking.
I looked at my own hair. Pretty standard stuff, nothing fancy. But seeing him switch it up so drastically made me wonder, maybe I should try something different? Not necessarily dreads, that seemed like a whole lot of work, but you know, something noticeable.
My Little Experiment
So, I actually went down to my regular barber shop. I didn’t have a picture of Butler, but I found some styles online that were a bit out there for me. I showed my barber, Tony. Good guy, known him for years.
- He looked at the picture.
- He looked at my thinning hair on top.
- He looked back at the picture.
- Then he just kinda chuckled.
He told me straight up, “Look, your hair’s not really built for that kinda thing. It’d take forever, cost a bomb to maintain, and honestly? Might not even look right.” He suggested maybe a slightly different cut, something achievable. We tried cleaning up the sides more, styling the top a bit differently. It was… okay. Not exactly the big statement I was half-considering after seeing Butler’s hair.
What I Reckoned Afterwards
That little trip to Tony’s got me thinking more. It’s one thing to see a celebrity pull off a look like that. They’ve got folks managing their hair, endless cash for upkeep, and honestly, they can pull off weird stuff because they’re famous. For regular guys like me? It’s a different story.
You gotta consider:
- Your actual hair type.
- How much time you really want to spend on it each morning.
- If you’re prepared for the maintenance, the cost.
- If it even fits your lifestyle.
Most styles like that aren’t just ‘get it and forget it’. It’s a commitment. And then, bam, before you know it, Butler cut his dreads off anyway! Went right back to his shorter style. All that noise, all the takes online, and he just switched back. It felt kinda funny, like watching someone spend ages building a huge sandcastle just for the tide to come in.
Reminds Me Of…
It reminds me of this time I decided to completely reorganize my garage workbench based on some setup I saw in a magazine. Looked super clean, everything in its perfect place. Spent a whole weekend on it. Next time I needed to do a quick repair? Couldn’t find a thing. The screwdriver wasn’t where it always was. The wrench was in some fancy new labeled bin I couldn’t reach easily. It was a nightmare. After about a week of frustration, I pretty much put everything back to its old chaotic-but-functional spots. Sometimes, the tried-and-true, even if it ain’t flashy, just works better for you.
So, the Jimmy Butler dreads. A interesting phase to watch. Made me think about changing things up, but the reality check at the barber and seeing him ditch the look anyway kinda brought it back down to earth. Stick with what’s practical, what works for you. My simple haircut? It does the job. No fuss. Good enough for me.
