People. I've always liked it on everyone really. I don't think it looks worse on them or anything

I never really cared, myself.

when I was younger, some of my Mexican friends had some of the best looking braids I've ever seen.

don't think having a particular hairstyle should be deemed as cultural appropriation. There have been Europeans who have braided their hair for centuries as well (vikings?)

We should really be asking where the line is drawn. And for me it's not hard to see that line personally.

Have you ever read peoples reasoning for disliking it? Or do you just think people says it looks bad?


I'm aware of some of the appropriation and cultural reasons people have for disliking it. I should have clarified.

I'm specifically talking about the aesthetics of it.

I've known a bunch of white people with dreads. I think they look cool.

I tried doing it once myself years ago but I was too lazy to put the time and effort into making them look good. I didn't have them long.

i'm not black, or white, and i had dreads for a couple years when i was younger

i literally got everything. from the best compliments to the absolute worst actions. incredibly divisive. i enjoyed them though and would've kept them if not for the ridiculous upkeep (i don't have curly hair).

Never been a fan of dreads or braids on anyone, but no one should feel like they can't style their hair however they want.

I thought only black peoples hair can actually form locs properly? When white people do it they just don't wash their hair until it gets all matted up and nasty

Afros are in style off and on, it was big in the late 90's-00's then fell out of fashion around 2006 and came back in the 2010's-now.

I'm okay with braids, but dislike dreads on white people-- it's always gross people in my experience.

Anyone can have locs, but it takes much longer to do it on straight hair. Type 3 and type 4 hair locs with more ease, and people with this type of coily/kinky hair don't have to deal with oily hair.
