White-people dreadlocks are cringe pass it on
This really isn’t nice to say. 😦 I’m so disappointed..
What’s not nice is that non black people neglect their hygiene to try to imitate a hairstyle (that in actuality requires a lot of maintenance) because they don’t have the right hair texture, and reinforce harmful stereotypes that lead to black people experiencing systemic discrimination and racism for their natural/cultural hairstyles on a global scale.
Boom.
not to mention matted hair =/= dreadlocks, that’s not how that works and is horribly offensive to compare the two. Black dreads aren’t unhygienic or from the use of elmers glue or ripping/twisting hair to expose the innner cuticle layer.
