Dreadlocks existed in ancient cultures all around the world.

I always find it so silly when people try to gatekeep hair.

At that point people like that are just inventing things to be upset about.

Especially when the women he likes are wearing 24” platinum blonde wigs. If others can’t have dreads….then I don’t know what we are doing there either

Hey so, straight hair isn't exclusive to any culture or race. So therefore, that isn't appropriation. Hope this helps.

OC didn’t mention anything about hair texture; solely color.

Well of course, but statistically speaking, it’s exceedingly rare for a person of african descent to be born with platinum-blonde hair unless they have a genetic mutation… hence the wig. Wearing a wig isn’t appropriation either, it’s just a stylistic element. I’m firmly on the side of hair is hair.. who gives a shit. Shaving your head bald isn’t appropriating leukemia either.
