Yeah I know a few white men who did this. Steep in the punk/grindcore what ever scene.

One dude puked in his and had to cut 'em off cause he couldn't get the smell out.

They looked alright with it.


Have braids always been associated with dreads? Or is that just this thread?
 
Don't really care either way, though they usually tend to work best on crust punks since they already have a generally dirty/disheveled appearance. It can definitely look cool on specific people, as is the case with most hairstyles.
 
They look good on some people.

God's had his chance.
My sister has been rockin her dreads for maybe 10 years or so? Starting off it was rough cause when you get them knotted and work well on em you lose a lot of length. Once they grew out they look great. She takes great care of them. Lives in the Virgin Islands for a lot of those years at this point so it's not really anything that stands out for her there.

Some people carry them really well and take care of them really well and they look great. Some do not and it can get especially ratty - doubly so if they end up wrapping them up most of the time.
 
they're fine.

the problem that's skewing many people's opinion is most people only knew that one gen-x trustafarian that didn't wash their ass much less take care of their hair.

dreadlocks can be perfectly fine on white people or anyone else.

I am not a fan of dreads of anyone really. Lauren Hill pulled it off though. As for on white people, I don't care I am not gonna scream appropriation partly cos I think the whole debate about it is misguided, but who knows maybe it might encourage more black women to wear their hair natural. I did match with one white girl ok tinder who had dreads, she was sexy beyond words and she pulled them off amazingly.
 
Yeah dreads, like any hair or beard combo, have nothing really to do with race. Some people can pull certain styles off, some cant. Some white dudes will look awesome with dreads, some will look terrible. Some black dudes good with dreads, some terrible. Etc. Etc.

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
It's just hair. You can have whatever hair style you want. I'm black and don't get offended when white people have dreads or cornrows. It's just hair, lot more important things to worry about. I'm not a fan of dreads at all though. I like to keep a classy nice haircut. Dreads don't look good to me, except I kind of like Future's dreads with the blonde in it. But he can pull it off since he's a millionaire and don't have to worry about anything.
 
Anyone can wear it, matted hair isn't exclusive to any race or culture since it has been known to be worn the world over throughout human history. The rastafarian movement popularised it and gave it the name dreadlocks and that's why it's pretty much exclusively called that today.
 
I think some white girls can look pretty cool with them if they're not the super thick ones that are done all the way from the roots.

Super thick one's on white people remind me of this one time I saw a dog turd, where it looked like the dog ate a bunch of paper so there was just paper spiraled into the shit.

Rob Zombie is actually a pretty good choice. The guy looks pretty metal. Haven't seen too many white people who can pull it off.

I don't think I've ever seen a white person who looks good with dreads.
a soap dodging white girl MAY pull it off if 'hippie chick' is the whole image shes going for. need to be pretty hot to not just appear like a gross dirty person though
 
Why not? It's stuff you can do with hair.
I can't say i'm a big fan but people can do with their hair whatever the fuck they want.
Better than my bald fucking orange anyway.

Why give a fuck about what other people do with their hair?

Yes

I think it looks ugly on them, but i love watching hipster neckbeards talk about "cultural appropriation" and how it triggers them

So yes!

I'm not a fan of dreads in general. However, on white people, it tends to not looks so good due to their hair texture. It's way to soft and it ends up looking like a ball of cotton on their head.
