I hate when people make comments like this. People been locking their hair for years, it's not a new trend.


I been growing my hair out since April and I'm gonna lock up eventually. I'm in the ugly stage now too.

How can you be late rocking a hair style thats been around forever ?

Just like the people who say 'nobody wears braids anymore'.....

 

[omgitswes]

the only people I know who still have their hair dreaded are Rastas.
but it's cool though cause they didn't do it just to fit in.

 

[clearsole23]

Word my pops is a rasta and most of my friends are i was gonna get dreads but i dont wanna go through the "ugly phase" lol but i was gonna becomerasta once before but for some reason stopped and the rastas called me a crazy baldhead haha

 

[proper english]

You cats really show how lame you are when statements like "Locs are a fad or trend." are used.


People been locking their hair for decades, well at least I know in the DMV, Va, NC, Fla, SC and GA areas.

fixed.
3-4 months

6 months (this is actually recently I grew my hair out again cuz I hate fades, but I'm not getting dreads tho just twists)

1 year

1 year and half (I had braids for a year, and it takes 6 months to lock so this is when they first locked)

4 years- right before I cut it

I'll post some tips for you a lil later bruh

Bonus: Current Haircut

and that's not even half the hairstyles i've had in my life, I stay switiching it up

 

[dead stokc]

dreadLocks

 

[Hahahaha]

The only way out of that ugly phase is called a hair cut

 

[put em up]

No disrespect bruh but do u have thumb tacks in ears for earrings.

where they do that at?

 

[roddyrodpiper]

yesss. locks are so sexy to me.

and NT has definitely had a few threads about dreadlocks from what I remember.

 

[black chiney]

yo for the people for dreads
did you let your hair naturally lock up?
or did you have done somewhere?
cuz i'm growing out my hair right now, and thinking bout getting dreads

 

[o fenomeno]
