If non black people want to damage the fuck out of their hair that’s fine, whatever, but don’t be calling the moldy ass shit you get as a result dreadlocks, dreads, or locs, because I promise you they aren’t.
Sincerely, someone who actually knows what the fuck they talking about.
Feel free to reblog if you aren’t black and against cultural appropriation
Seriously. White “dreadlocks” are literally just unwashed, matted, damaged hair. Knock it off, fellow white people jfc.
And miss me with that “but the vikings/irish had dreadlocks!!!” shit, because it’s not fucking true. Vikings and Celts were clean as fuck and commonly had intricately braided hair. Not nasty-ass matted “dreadlocks”.
When i was a teen i thought they were cool, to the point of wanting some myself (but by the time i had the freedom to my hair was too short, lucky me)
but when i saw a post explaining the difference and like, pointing out all the things thats so goddamn wrong with it my opinion went a real quick 180… tfg
