....the rest look a little goofy to me.

I'm sorry. sad And yes, there are some black folks that look silly with very straight hair. Some need not buy super straight yak hair and they need to get that kinky straight. Looks more natural.


And dreads are fly!!!! nod I'm loving mine!!! (and they are very clean!!)

pic of me

Indeed Rhonda! biggrin I love your locs!

And I never tire of Cassandra Wilson's BEAUTIFUL hair (she is a loc GODDESS!!):

pic of cassandra's locs

I don't mind people wearing what they wear, just don't take on some persona b/c of how your hair is styled - THAT shit is annoying. Be who the fuck you are, don't try to be hard or any stupid shit people think is associated w/ braids. I got locs but I ain't started smokin' weed neutral



I can't wait for mine to get that long!!!


and thanks shanna and cal...


happy to nappy nod

I think white guys look like shit in cornrows and look like utter hell in dreadlocks.
I like locs on black men, though. They can be sexy.

You wouldn't by any chance mean Lenny Kravitz? The dreads were good, the fro was good, the straight hair was NOT good. He looked like a giant Bratz doll.


Nice hair, btw. thumbs up!

I don't really think its a matter of being black or white....I think its a matter of the shape of your dome,and what hair style looks right.

hairstyles such as cornrows and dread locs really do require a certain kind of hair texture to look good, though. don't think that you can rock a head full of cornrows with some baby fine hair and forget about locs all together.

Thats funny I have seen plenty of people with baby fine hair pull them both off and look good. However hair texture was not my point in my original post anyway. My point being no matter ya skin tone, just wear your hair how you like it. If you'r a white boy, and wanna rock the rows. I say screw the masses and wear em. If ya a dark skined bro and wanna wear the hair straight, go for it. Do what makes you happy and makes you feel good about yourself.

Let's ease up on the white guys in dreads...

For sure, straight hair that's in the process of locking looks far more crappy than kinky -- it's stringy, ratted and often caked because it is more likely to require a "locking" agent (bee's wax, pomade, etc.). But when it finally locks, it can look very cool. And white people who lock their hair have a certain advantage: While kinky hair locks much faster, easier and tighter; straight hair offers up length much faster -- so there's less a period of walking around with little, crazy-looking "dreadlets." lol

I had a white pal in undergrad who locked his hair. He looked horrible for a few months, but when his locks finally took, he had some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. He was a toehead, and his locks looked like rays of golden sunlight cascading from his head. And he always kept them clean and neat.

They can work, if you have the right look and personality. Race doesn't matter exclusively.

hmmm


In that picture it looks alright, but most of the time it was pretty barf inducing.

His head's too big to make straight hair look good. lol





afterthought: kinda looks like he's trying to pull a "Prince" in this pic, doesn't it?
