Can a bald person get dreadlocks?
😂
Yes the best method is sponge rub, leaves a nice shine
Absolutely
I’m sorry Filmore.
Ye, just dread your pubes
Imagine saying someone can't have their hair how they want because they've got the wrong skin colour 😅
ignorance
Facts 😴
Jair Marta bro there’s already enough hate in this world man pls chill out
@@jairmarta7806 let them get dreadlocks. It doesn't hurt you. If their hair will fall out, it hurts them, not you. You might aswell let them since you got so much hate
@@jairmarta7806 I am white,but I don't have dreds(yet). But I really like them . I know for a fact that a lot of ancient European countries and cultures used to wear dreadlocks. Mostly warriors and hunters used to wear them. And I mean there are a lot of black women who get their hair straight, so why can't white or asian people have locks? I am definitely not racist, I just like the way dreadlocks look, for example I listen to J. Cole very often and I see him as my idol and that's one of the reasons I would like to have dreads. And I think you should not see that as cultural appropriation, but as a compliment of me liking part of black people's culture. After all it's just hair and everyone has their own taste, and I think that everyone could have what ever hairstyle they want. For example Nikola Tesla is from my country (Serbia) and he managed to turn electricity into an energy source. And what would you feel like if I told you that you can't use electricity because a guy from my country invented it and it's a part of my culture? I wrote this comment with nothing bad in mind and with my full honesty and respect, so If someone is going reply to my comment, I would like to get that respect in return.
"cultural appropriation." In ancient Greece for example, some of the earliest depictions of dreads date back to 3600 BC. ... Historians have uncovered Roman accounts stating that the Celts wore their hair “like snakes” and that several Germanic tribes and Vikings were known to wear dreadlocks. dreadlocks didnt originate anywhere, everyone had them.
Those weren’t “dreadlocks” as much as braids and matted hair. There’s a difference.
Talia Lowery “matted hair” what do you think dreads are bright one 🤦♂️
How is that possible when history don't get ancient Greece until 1100 BC???
Dreadlocks originated in Africa...stop stealing and give Africa it's credit
Stop lying...everyone did not have dreadlocks...Muslim cultures is a prime example
Why is this even a question, anybody can have dreadlocks
Edit: I'm reading the comments and it's not even about the skin tone to have dreads. It's about if you have curls. I have a friend that is darker than me and has straight hair and a white friend that has curls.
Nahh i guess they can but most black people have curly hair so there dreads are easier to get in and they look better . but most white people have straight hair so it's harder no offense but they just don't look good on them not trying to be racist
@Hello Again Bro you're spot on there 👏
Hello Again smart human
Exactly bro
@Splash • 20 years ago they can do free-form but it just takes time
I am Celtic ( Irish to be preside) and Dreadlocks are apart of Celtic culture. We have Braids and Dredds. But we call them Trilseáin, Gruaig Shúgánach and Dreideanna. Braids were a sign of power and Dredds were done in your hair when getting ready for battle to make you look more intimidating and it also stayed out of your face. Men and women did this as men and women could equally be warriors.
This is still done with Insular and was done with Continental Celts
no lmao
Cultivated Locs came from Ancient Kemet aka Egypt aka Africa. Check out massa warriors. The Celtic culture didn't have a choice with the filthy conditions and no proper hygiene
Dreadlocks are something that people through multiple cultures have had. Though there have been double standards about that style that I’ve seen, generally anyone can get/have dreads. Like, of course! :) The real problem comes in with box braids and other hair styles tied to a certain cultures
But who had it first?
@@afk478 Doesnt matter.
@@-philip1382 uhhh yes it does? And I’m pretty sure African tribes had them first but idk
@@afk478 it’s not of “who had it first” we evolve over time. So it gets passed down to other cultures. Therefore, ur who did it first is irrelevant
@@btscracks7913 to you, it’s relevant to me because it’s apart MY history not YOUR history
It wasn’t just Vikings or just Africans but damn near all cultures all around the world for 1000s of years had dreads and even braids and corn rolls the Spartans had them way before they ever even seen someone that was black same thing with the Vikings it was just a smart way for a worrier to wear there hair especially for the Vikings that was always on the move it was a lot easier to just braid or let your hair form into dreads thin cut it
False - the vikings did not have dreadlocks . And braids and dreadlocks are in no way related.
@@likeagenieinabottle1591 says who?
vikings and other celtic cultures did not have braids or locs in the same way black people do lmao, the hair is different
@@wilheiminplatz man this just shows a lack of knowledge on what the hell you’re talking about. Braids are braids and dreads are dreads. WTF are you talking about? It doesn’t matter if their hair isn’t the same. It’s all done the same way. You just sound like you don’t want this to be true for some weird reasons. It is what it is.
@@bluegrim4252 except its not lmao and anybody who has event the smallest knowledge will tell you, not all hair is the same - some styles suit others best same as skin and other genetic qualities. White straight hair are called dreads because the strands DIE lmao. For other cultures, namely native and black people, its referred as locs or braids, which you clearly aren't aware of and only shows how lacking you are of this all. Those styles are protective and evolved with their culture, white people had their own style of braids aka vikings but not box braids lol, the horrible smelly dead hair you call "dreads" is a derogatory term for when hair becomes so matted and dead it clumps. White people only get that through wanting to mimic and steal culture, but are left with legit decomposing hair that reeks and can only be salvaged by cutting it off (though with negative side effects like literally ruining your scalp and pushing back your hairline). If you want go ahead, but we'll be laughing at you when you go bald but until then will stay away because you legit stink.
Yes Gunther the great. Thank you.
Hey I love your videos , you're really passionate 😍
0:33 craving me some Hot Cheetos right now
Haha I have heard that a lot about my dreads 😂😂 I know kinda similar to cheetos
Ksi is jealous
I have the straightest hair possible and have free-form locs. 4 years and they're getting long, thick and heavy..and they're beautiful and natural. I feel a strong connection to the hair on my head and the hair I choose to let grow on my body. It's not a culture thing for me, it's very personal. After being told to look a certain way from such an early age, letting myself be natural and take up space is cathartic. I am powerful and confident with my roots and noone can take that feeling from me, no matter how many times I get berated in public. 🤷♀️
And even if you dont have an intention to appropriate culture that doesnt stop you from doing it lol
A natural process is not taking from anyone else.
@@vile8675 The earliest known depiction of dreadlocks comes from Greece, not Africa. Many cultures have historically worn the hairstyle. Do some research "lol"
Ok...but I’m white and have faaarrrr from straight hair...it’s hellishly curly and dreads by itself so getting dreadlocks would make my life simpler
Why is there a "ok, but.."? Where in his video you thought you had to put a "but" in there to state your comment? Its not about making life simpler or more complicated, so that has nothing really to do with it. Not meaning to be offensive but can you explain? Peace
White people say this and end up having 3a hair 😂😂
@David how, its just their hair matting together
@@rainforest9209 because you are wearing a whole ass culture and admitting to the world you don't think us bipoc are even human-
@@divine555 bold of u to assume I'm white lol, all of us have different opinions on this. Matted 'locs' aren't like coily natural locs so they're not even the same process. Who am I to stop someone's hair tangling
Dreads are for everybody with the balls to rock them🙌😁
I had dreads for about a year. It is possible to loc up your hair if you are white/have straight hair. I found it to be a LOT of work but thats because looking back i was too much of a perfectionist with them- defeating the whole point. Back combing and twist and rip methods both work as long as you combine that with palm rolling. I highly recommend NOT using any gels or any products other than the dollylocks spray to loc them up- that's all that worked for me. The only thing I feel strongly about is PLEASE DON'T crochet your hair more than once a month! I made that mistake and no one ever told me not to use it every day to get all those loose stragglers in. Before I loc'd it all up my hair was to my waist. I decided to comb them out and spent a week and a half painstakingly combing them out with water and conditioner- knot by knot. By the time I was done my once waist length hair was all different lengths and I had to cut my hair to shoulder length because my once thick hair was now stringy and looking horrible and broken. I was devastated. In the process of growing my hair back now and I do miss my dreads all the time. I never had the mildew issue with them because even though it took forever I made sure they were always dry when I got done washing them.
I never really experienced that much negative attention as a white person with dreads. It seemed most people were very accepting- especially when they have- or have had- dreads themselves because they could appreciate all the work that had to be put into them and the maintenance. Yeah every once in a blue moon someone would think you were trying to offend them because how dare you and cultural appropriation and all but I always made 3 points- 1)imitation is the best form of flattery, 2)the reality that EVERYONES hair- no matter your race- will loc up if you don't brush it and neglect it. Heck even a dog with long hair will have dreads if you don't brush them, we normally say its matted hair and 3)no matter what you do in life you'll always offend SOMEONE- no matter how perfect you are, so accept that and live YOUR life and do what makes YOU happy (as long as it doesn't cause you or anyone else any harm and it's legal.) Sorry so long, hope it helps
Ive had so many people just block me because my Caucasian bf has dreads 😐
@@candiebear9757 there just jealous cause theve never seen dreads this fresh
I’m half black but was kinda discouraged at first cause my hair was straight. I wanted to get more in tune with my culture and myself and ultimately decided that I shouldn’t care what people think about me having dreads with my hair type.
Edit: I cut them cause I was wasting so much money on appointments just for it to not turn out well. Definitely wanna try again in a few years though.
You are probably not half black if your hair is straight, the Hair gene is really strong so even people with 10% of black dna get curly hair, like literally the whitest mixed kid gets curly hair since it's a strong gene
@@TheSamuelbest12 it’s possible to get hair like mine when you’re half black, it’s just really rare. It’s crazy cause my twin brothers hair type is like 3b. My hair type is like 2c maybe 3a but on Reddit I’ve seen half black people with as straight as 2b hair.

Pretty much all hair is going to dread eventually. Doesn't matter white black brown purple or green. Had mine going on 4 years now. Started with the twist and rip method and have been getting my maintenance done with a crochet hook for the past almost 2 years.

Anyone can do what they want with THEIR HAIR . i just found out if you don't brush your hair it starts to lock up. I have been growing my hair for 1 year and I never brushed it , just washed it and put products in it and it's locking up in the back of my head.
Watch out with the the products. The build up will get stuck in there.

As a white woman with irish curly coarse red hair, let me go 3 days and try to not let those curls lock up. That's my heritage it naturally happens especially when I go in the ocean (where i live).
That’s 50% my hair (my mom) and then my dad has super coarse Latin fro hair. I tried growing my hair out once and it hurt 😂. I am trying again knowing that I will have to loc it. One person told me that it is only for African heritage people… I laughed and told her my ancestors would of definitely had loc’s there is no way to get around this crazy hair and not have locs before hot irons and modern products.
@@vcrunchy3672 very true
I'm white and I wore dreadlocks for a long time and I been through so much hate but honestly I don't care about hate anymore I'm proudly gonna wear my dreadlocks and be happy
I am white with kinky curly hair. My hair is more unmanageable than my black boyfriend's. My hair mats up way easier than his does. I'm about to get dreads because it is constantly tangling on itself. I spend a lot of time money and effort to STOP my hair from locking. I just want to let my hair do it's thing. Also, I think it's ridiculous to say I'm appropriating if I do any more than 2 braids on my head. It feels fantastic having my hair in braids... it's really the only way to tame it.
0:33 is literally a hot Cheeto
People can and have dreadlocks its all in their own choices. But as far as Caucasian hair, it is a lot more maintenance and harder to loc for some (Caucasian) have to dread. But then it really don't matter your race or ethnicity. Basically if your shits gonna loc it is, if u know what you're doing or someone else does.
I've been back and forth on getting them myself, but I have very long hair and I'm not high maintenance and I know they have to be cared for well.
are you white
At this point your running out of ideas since you can’t twist your hair yet

Yeah my brother has dreads in my family hates it and wants him to cut them off.
Hispanic isn’t a race. You are just a white hispanic
Asking this is an equivalent to "should black people straighten their hair?"
-> and people are finding out more and more that dreadlocks arent a "black thing". Throughout Europe people have been wearing dreadlocks for literally thousands of years.
dread locs are cultural thing. straight hair simply genetics... there are black people who have naturally straight hair not saying dreads are exclusive to black culture as it is in many cultures. but straight hair is not gene exclusive to white or Europeans thats bad equivalency when this is matter of “cultural appropriation or not”
Throughout Europe people have plaited their hair. That's why as the european colonizers back then arrived in africa they coined the term by saying they looked "Dreadful".
Cultural appropriation is when you disassociate a tradition from culture and try to make it your own. It doesn't matter if you wanna call it a black thing or not. It's a thing of people of color, plus a thing of people of a specific region in the world. You can get dreadlocks all you want. Appreciate it. Don't appropriate it! It's not yours unless you are part of that culture. Period.
@@benjamin2713 You think that its all over and a "problem" (to use the term very loosely) has been solved just because you said "period"? Wrong.
I didnt ask your opinion. Piss off.
one has already said it here, but I'll say it again
Black ppl straightening their hair doesn't mean we r copying white ppl😅, coz there r black ppl who r born with straight hair, curly, & well-known sponge hair, black & is unique & comes in all shapes & types , so that question is irrelevant.
i never seen straight hair dreads in person before
It’s cuz they don’t exist. If you have straight hair then it’s matted, not dreaded.
Talia Lowery are yu dumb ?
Talia Lowery what do u think matted hair is
Talia Lowery what do u think dreads are 😂😂
Talia Lowery 🤦♂️
You've made this video 3 times 😔💔
Culture is made to be shared, its not made to create these little wars about whats wrong or right
i don’t mind it i just worry because sometimes you can see the person just has really thin hair and i’m so scared they’ll just break off 😩
If u think about it most if not all cultures have had a type of “Dreadlocks” or a locking method
I’m a white guy with African hair and I really really love braids. I asked my African mom if she could do it for me and she agreed I like it but I don’t know If a white guy should have it?

@@kharichannells6423 mixed?
@@alexgiucastro9313 Yeah, People can typically tell your race, So it would be easy to tell if someone is white

There are white people who have braids and locks in their cultures like vikings or celts
um no one ever talks about 80% of black women wearing wigs literally made from Asian people's hair... shit 20% of that 80% have blond and red wigs... saying white people aren't allowed to have dreds is like saying black people cant celebrate saint Patrick's day, in fact saying something like that is considered racist...
I’m glad that Gunther isn’t discriminating and using reverse racism as a Political tactic for more sympathy and as an excuse to tell people what they can and can not do, I hope we get past the race issues and that anybody can have the hairstyle they want and that anybody will not be subject to racism in a professional environment or otherwise based on any physical appearance they may have or seem to have.
Reverse racism?
@@elimenoquite6705 It's just racism.
If I said people with dark skin can't have blonde hair I would be called wrong.
It’s ya own hair why people gotta give a shit🤣🤣🤣
If black Girl is excepted when straightening their hair then the black community shouldn’t have a problem with a white guy getting dreads.
They shouldn't have a problem anyway seeing its been a multi cultural thing around the world.
straight hair is just a genetic thing which btw some black people have naturally. where as dreads is a cultural thing and has cultural significance (not saying it’s exclusive to black people as it belongs to many different cultures) but it’s a bad equivalency. also many black people change their naturally curly hair because it’s deemed “ unprofessional” “unkempt” in many places and in general.
i have very curly hair for a white male. my hair just naturally gets “knotted” & nappy in the back on its own. ive always wanted dreads. i do also smoke a lot lol. i just say enjoy life & do what u want. its hair at the end of the day.
This comment isn’t directed towards you but people who are still on this topic. It is Time to grow up!
I wanna get dreads but I feel like my parents would say something bout it
It's like "can non asians eat food with chopsticks?" "can black people have straight hair?" "can non asians learn martial arts such as karate muay thai taekwondo kung fu?" and etc etc.
Edit: not even black people found out dreadlocks, but the European vikings and pirates did.
Right
And Greeks and Egyptians lol
@@signity5540 it was greeks
Hair is on everyone. Do it how you want. 🤜🤛🤟
I think anyone can get dreadlocks but some people think dreadlocks belong to their culture and might think it’s offensive for another culture to have them but I think anyone can get them. Also most Black people have curly hairAnd most white people have straight hair sometimes that’s not the case but most of the time Black people have curls and white people have straight hair and it would look better and be easier on a black person than a white person I’m not trying to be racist I’m just saying it would be easier and maybe look better on a black person but anyone can get dreads if that’s what they want to do :).

I am a white male with a very Irish heritage. I converted from atheism to Christianity and although it is not important to have dreads or a natural hairstyle in general, i have a lot of fear about being shot or abused for having dreadlocks. It has been a thought on my mind for some time now and my girlfriend who is black wants to give me dreads but i always live with that fear in the back of my head that “I want dreads so bad, but who is gonna try and abuse me for it. Very informative video, thank you… 😞
Just seeing this bro good shit fr fr it doesn’t matter what race you are you shouldn’t have to change the way you want to present yourself or the way you want to look just because someone says it’s cultural appropriation. Black woman do the same thing when it comes to perms when they perm their hair so it’s nice and straight like how white ladies have their hair and there’s nothing wrong with that. I support whatever anybody wants to do with their appearance that makes them happy when they wake up in the morning confidence is key
That's kinda f'd up, because not even 20 years ago blakck woman were considered "more beautiful" with straight hair. That sentiment was a product of forced assimilation from slavery. At that time, black women were also less equipped with the tools and resources to maintain their , as well as much of the knowledge passed down through generations of the practice of hair maintenance. COnsidering the plight, struggle, and rebuilding of black woman hair identity alongside yt ppl getting locs is not even comparable.

@@nay.4113 ok so I’d like you to further explain what you mean but I’d like to add that there’s plenty of black men that loveeee black women for their natural hair. Me personally I think dreads look the best on our people but I’m not going to just say that white people can’t have them especially if they can obtain it naturally. We have to put chemicals and perm our hair to get it straight like white peoples hair and the white people can just do absolutely nothing and get ours so it’s not just meant for black people

@@snitchzerboo wrong Straight hair already combines together naturally if anything our hair is meant for dreads to because the real reason black ppl get dreads is because they're hair doesn't flow in the winds it defines gravity and will stay in afro when it grows but not ppl with straight hair because when it grown it naturally falls ND hangs nicely ND it's shiny so there is no reason for someone with straight hair to get dreads that's why many ppl get mad because ppl with straight hair already have good quality hair why would u wanna ruin it the only reason ppl with curly hair get dreads is because like I said it doesn't hang and fall naturally it doesn't flow in the wind therefore they get locs to make it easy to manage and grow but everyone has a different options but back then ppl just had it straight it kinda locked together to make it look like dreads but those was not dreads dreads became a thing because of Jamaica nd the rasta culture which has a picture of a lion lions have straight hair so dreads represent straight hair it's supposed to be "flowy hair" for ppp with afro straight hair is already naturally flowy nd is easier to manage so that's y ppl with straight hair should really just leave it alone it looks cooler anyway I think locs look better with afro hair because imagine lil Wayne with straight hair that just wouldn't look right that's what black ppl see when they see someone who's not black wearing dreads it's a little off that's y u see Rockstara with long straight emo hair it's a perfect look yfm fits well

Hi please can u do a video on Lil loadeds dreads
The vikings famously combed out their hair. We have actual writings about it.
I was a former cosmetology student and I can say, yes... white people can get dreads. Rather it’s synthetic, their real hair, or a wig. We are at a point in life where self expression shouldn’t be a bad thing rather it’s through hair or makeup. I’ve done dreads on people (while they were mostly synthetic) on both cultures. I am also very much aware of the circumstances that are idiotic about hair in the work field and I do understand how some people feel about that. Trust me, it’s not fair. It is stupid that some businesses are picky about hair. I have massive respect for all cultures and I don’t claim any hairstyle (like dreads) to be owned by me or something? I don’t even claim the swoops hair-look as mine or owned by anyone in fact. Hair is just a form of self expression. I understand that dreads, to some cultures, represent something meaningful, and that is a beautiful thing. Now to answer the dumb question. “Can Bald People Have Dreads?” - Yes. A bald person can have hair. It’s called a wig or toupee. (Which is the dumbest question I’ve seen to be asked). That’s like, making fun of someone who can’t grow their hair out? Like are people really that low and inconsiderate?
I'm white (I have straight hair too) but recently I've become fond of the idea of getting dreadlocks. I have been doing research and I'm worried about cultural appropriation. I would like to know what some people's opinions on that are, black or white.
My guy, it’s your body and your hair. You can’t gatekeep a hairstyle. The only people that’ll tell you you can’t are the people who want to feel special and standout, or start an argument.
Anyone who calls you a racist or says you’re culturally appropriating them, is only doing it because they want to start something unnecessary. Get them if you want. Don’t if you don’t. But don’t let someone else’s opinion on if you’re *allowed* to have them get in your way.
There is nothing racist about a hairstyle. Otherwise blonde and red hair would be gatekept from POC.
U can't appropriate culture with a hair style . People r so ignorant. Locs occur naturally and have been worn I'm many cultures. Even more prominently in non black culture actually
it might be a bit late to respond bit the other replies do a disservice to people who are upset by white people with locks. its because theyve almost always seen the "dread" that comes from being black with natural hair, especially something so visually different like locks. whether thats difficulty finding work, passing comments. or direct harassment. and then they see a white person get locks(really they are mats, because its hair tangling and matting not locking because u need coily or very curly hair to have it actually lock) and face little to no resistance by the greater society for doing that. itd frustrating. it feel like something is being ripped from you. in cases like "box braids" and other styles of braids that are tied to black culture, you see white people, white celebrities notably, essentially take these historically important hairstyles, with memories and weight attached to them. and essentially use it as a fun trend, not doing the history and the people who made that style any justice, even going so far as to call it something else, or claim u invented it(i think a jenner did that but im also not too into celebrities so i could be wrong).
point being, theres real reasons why people are mad about this. our status of having whiteness lets us bypass a lot of the struggle black people have had to go through just to have their hair in ways that dont cause it damage.
so we just really have to keep that in mind. acknowledge the history. and definitely care for your hair properly and beleive black people when they tell you how you can improve your locks. make sure its known that u care and u appreciate that this knowledge exists for you
i think then the vast majority of people who would have a problem with your hair. will understand.
but again bare in mind that theres a lot more emotional weight on black hair then there is for white hair. we never had to change it, and we never had to think about it in the same ways. so definitely dont be surprised if some black people will react negatively in public. i do beleive we can get to a better place on this subject if more people took the polite, acknowledgement of history path. instead of getting mad and trying to find anything to say locks are actually white too.
because no, the greeks never had locks, neither did the vikings, or the celts. they had plenty of protective braids but not locks.
it shows that u dont want to care, you just want to take.
but clearly you are here and your worried. so you care. so that isnt you.
i wish you well on your hair journey wherever it leads
sorry about being so long winded. i just wanted to be thorough
@@amb600cd0 No seriously thank you for the advice, also loving the username
this video is THE KEY!!! we (white ppl) appreciates a LOT dreadlocks and his culture too, even ppl as me that wants to get them for spiritual porposes get lots of information to appreciate this ART of dreadlocks!! Thanks for this video💗💗☺️☺️
Go educate youself before talking white people have dread locks in their cultures germans celts vikings greeks etc
i would say its more based on ethnicity/where your from and not skin color.
my dad is mixed, my momma is jamaican. i can grow dreads even though i have the skin tone of a very light haspanic
Next video: Can bald people get Dreadlocks
Vikings, romans, gaelics, slavics all had dreadlocks, if you go far enough all had dreadlocks.
lol u basically made the same video like 3 years ago
For me personally I don't have an issue with it, but I prefer someone with a naturally tighter hair texture to have the instead of someone with a looser hair texture bcoz with coilier hair, it locs better and they are no hairs flying out of them, making it look a bit neater. Just my opinion
Ayt, so in my opinion I don't think white people should get dreadlocks. The way I see it is that for them it's just an aesthetic choice. They get dreadlocks because they like the way they look. I started my journey as an attempt to come to terms with my Blackness. I think a lot of people with tighter curl patterns can agree that their hair is often policed and regulated. People get made to feel that having afro hair is inherently wrong. In South Africa, where I'm from there used to be specific laws that separated people into specific categories based on hair texture. Hair was used as a way to oppress people under the Apartheid regime. That still carries into the mindset people have today. Black hair gets portrayed as wrong, hard to manage and unattractive. That's why it's so hard for a lot of black people to figure out what to do with their hair. So when I get dreadlocks, a simple style that suits my tight curl pattern and naturally works with my Blackness it makes me feel valued. It's not easy though. And in my person opinion part of the reason it's not easy is because dreadlocks are seen as this rustic hippy aesthetic. They're given this label as unprofessional. Whilst I can't speak to all of them I will say that in my opinion this connection between dreadlocks and bohemian rustic aesthetics has a string correlation in white people with dreadlocks. When they make the aesthetic choice to have dreadlocks they unintentionally give the message that dreadlocks are for bohemians and not proffesionals. They also don't acknowledge the difficulty that comes in the experience of hair for black people. I know this is probably just going to devolve into an internet argument over bullshit but I wanted to share the way I felt. And how I feel is that white people shouldn't get dreads because for them it's just hair. For me, it's attempting to break a life time of self hate
The earliest depiction of Dreads comes from Greece, not Africa. Many cultures around the world have had the hairstyle throughout history. Native Americans, Celts, Indian monks etc all have had the hairstyle. It has been a part of MANY cultures and you have absolutely no right to say that a certain group can't have it because they're "the wrong color". Do some research, kid.
Where all adults. You can do what you want don’t let people tell you can do something. You Can.
YES! Hell YES. one year and i had amazing locks:) Im 48yrs old:)
This maybe off topic but I wanna know your opinion on what you think if you saw a Asian male or female with dreadlocks please let me know don’t hold back. Peace
the ones who have a whole agenda on “culture appropiation” should go to prison. this is history. culture has been developing and certain styles have been spreading and mixing with others since early ages. if you really consider “culture appropriation” as something wrong, you have to be racist. the first evidence on dreadlocks in history was discovered in greece. so no one stealing anything.
I love when Bob Marley is used as a reference the dudes dad was white and he got called a half breed by his brothers.
He's half white so the dreads are half ours 🤣😂
Yea they don’t look very good tho
Im pink can i ?
Can white people get dreadlocks?
Long answer: Yes
Short answer: Yes
Can quarter black guys get dreads?As I am myself, I wanna know cuz when I’m older I might get them
can they? sure
should they? absolutely not
Why
MyCatTriedToBiteMeAndSheFellOfTheKitchenCounter for one straight hair ain’t meant for all this mess. For two, it’s culturally appropriative
Wrong
Talia Lowery I’m white and my hair is not straight so now what exactly nothing bro it don’t fucking matter this is why color is still a problem bc people don’t want to over look something so simple as a hair style bro like fr think before you comment
WaffleMinion 🤦🏾♂️
go fucking wear that shit
and rock that shit.
IDGAF
Yes we can and yes we should if we choose not up to anyone but ourselves but like seriously you're part of the problem making a videolike this, it seems like a hate video from the title and puts more hate in people heads. It's a STYLE that's seen in MANY cultures around the world
I would love to watch a video on you stating your beliefs on cultural appropriation
I thought they was hippie
One thing to know he said “it’s very easy” honestly it’s not I took 4 days to finish I have 28 dreads and imagine maintaining it, I say people with 4c hair is lucky less work and easy to loc just like curly ass well, but straight hair is wayy hard and soon you will see me on his instagram mine are not done yet but like in a few when they mature because right now mine is laying down and more flexible pretty dope
Yeah it’s very hard to have dreads and maintain them. You really need to discipline yourself when you have dreads.
Its like saying gay people appropriated ancient greek men. (Just a joke dont come at me)
Folks get what they want but dreads are definitely more difficult with straight hair. Personally I think dreads on white people is lame but you live with it.
I don't know why people some get so upset. Consider it a compliment if someone wants to look like you or is drawn to aspects of your culture.
Germans celts vikings had braids in their culture youre just ignorant
If your white black Hawaiian Spanish Portuguese and wanna be part of a Indian tribe do it.
Can’t wait for the Jaden smith video
Can you get straight hair after getting long dreadlocks?
I have hightop locs down to my shoulder(almost my back) and I have my sides grown out to about 2-4 inches. I was thinking about cutting my dreads and putting the cut dreads on my sides and back and getting a full set. I wanna stop getting fades. I had a fade forever lmao
Why cant people just wear whatever hairstyle they like?
Because it's racist bruh
@@divine555 how?
@@lanternlant1280 you're kicking a culture if you wear it but can't reclaim it
@@divine555 if your culture is so threatened by a hairstyle, then your culture is pathetic LOL
I didn’t comb my hair or brush it for years hoping to get free form dreads unfortunately my hair was like “knots what are those?” 😂 I’d love to get dreads but unfortunately I’m unable to get them at the moment
nah, you may be telling the truth but I have a strong suspicion you are lying or at the very least stretching the truth. you left out details for sure. you were using products or running your fingers through it. NOBODY can go years without brushing their hair and not get some form of dreading. you were using conditioners or shampoos guaranteed
@@ItsBuku420 I swear to god didn’t brush or comb my hair as I wanted dreads but my hair didn’t want to know it is naturally needle straight though if I’d had curly hair it would’ve dreaded no bother
@@ItsBuku420 I swear to god didn’t brush or comb my hair as I wanted dreads but my hair didn’t want to know it is naturally needle straight though if I’d had curly hair it would’ve dreaded no bother
this makes me sad
trying to send you a url to a video I think you would enjoy but dont know how to do that on youtube
Hey sir do you know what things to use to make dreads when you don't have the money for the material?
Yes, your fingers
Your Mother it depends if he is white or not because if he is white he can’t just use his fingers it won’t work
Kyle Williams If you have a 3 or 4 type hair just use a hand towel, try and get info kn towel rubbing dreads
If you have 4a,4b or 4c hair use a sponge trust me
All you need is a crochet needle, theyre pretty cheap
We aint askin permission
I mean most black people use them to look cool so why can’t they?
The locs situation is like this locs have been a part not just african americans but black culture and the orgins of them and having non black people wanting the hairstyle like it's a trend says a lot
I really want dreads but unfortunately im white so i hope this video explains everything
