The reason I don’t like white people wearing dreads is not cultural appropriation. Black people are not the only people in history to have worn dreadlocks. I don’t think we get to own dreads. The reason is that most white people who wear dreads leave their hair looking like shit. Black hair dreads naturally, but it is a VERY high maintenance hairstyle that requires constant grooming to look neat. When most white people wear dreads they don’t take care of it and it looks disgusting. Matted dirty hair is not dreadlocks. That is just nastiness. Your hair was not made for this so please stop wearing it. Plus we get shit for wearing dreads (”unprofessional”) but you get to be bohemian and free spirited? Nah.
