Reply To: Whites wearing dreadlocks?

#21159

White kids with dreadlocks bother me, but not always because of cultural misappropriation; not all white kids with dreads are pretending to be Rastafarians. What bothers me is the hygiene standpoint. Because of the kinky texture of African hair, it’s possible to make dreads out of clean hair. On the other hand, non-kinky hair will not stay in place if twisted together, unless it’s matted together with something sticky. Besides that, it’s typical that white people need to wash their hair daily, or at least several times a week, whereas black people, who have very drier hair which doesn’t accumulate dirt as readily, can get away with washing their hair less frequently.
