I started my locs 16 months ago after being natural for 7 years. I absolutely love them and have enjoyed the whole process. Did I get the side eye cause I am in administration, yup, but I dared someone to say something. I have always loved locs on men and women. They are unisex and are what you make them. I seriously never felt as good about myself as I do since starting my locs and mine make me feel more feminine. When I went natural I felt I had to wear make-up, earrings, accessories, brows had to alway be perfect. For some reason with my locs, I never felt that way. I rarely if ever wear makeup. My picture on here was the first and only hairstyle I got 4 weeks ago (lasted 3 days cause a girl couldn't sleep with those barrel rolls 🤣 ). I usually just let my locs do what they do, retwist every 2 1/2 to 3 months and have never felt more feminine.
I didn’t say so when you commented but thanks so much for sharing your experience with me and the community! I’m glad you’re loving this journey and your Locs!!!
Nawh dreads looks good only on fine ass dark skinned black men. Not women. I use to wear Chaka Khan's Iconic bushy hair look. I looked beautiful without makeup on wearing that style. Actually I looked younger...
I just started my locs because I was tired of hiding the hair that God purposely gave me. I'm embracing myself. I don't care anymore about the European beauty standards.
Amazing to hear! Good for you for reclaiming your hair! ✊🏾
Halleluyah! You tell them, sister! 🥰🥰
Same. It simply makes sense to me to exist the way we were created to exist. And I wouldn't let anyone make me feel like I'm wrong for simply deciding to exist the way my lovely and amazing creator initially designed me to exist. There's nothing shameful about that. This is why I'm freeforming.
Lauryn Hill was another artist who rocked locs as well.
For sure! It’s too bad she cut em! Forgot all about her locs!
A goddess
I think locks represent a lot strength and dedication, for a man or a women going through that process not giving up on it, that's commitment, that's confidence and that's attractive on everyone
I fully agree! Thanks for your comment!
I agree 🙌🏾🙂
My experience- Women with faux locs have stopped me on the street and are ‘like wow those are yours’. And Men seem to like em. I think they add to femininity
I agree as well! If you search this topic there’s actually several women who speak on not feeling feminine at certain points with locs! I’m glad that’s not your experience!
A woman with locs is my dream woman. 😍
@TPlocks Maybe because they don't trust the journey. It gets better with time. Or maybe cause they had different expectations. Maybe they wanted one thing (unrealistic) and their hair is doing what it wants to do, so they feel weird. Many other reasons.
As a jamaican i don't have these issues as culturally locs are everywhere, in our government, media heads, workplaces and schools. We aren't perfect but i've never even seen it in a masculine, feminine light.
Must be nice. Lyfe Jennings voice. 😅
wow, this really just goes to show how the society that u live in shapes your perception of things
@@ginabeana3469 that is absolutely true. As an African in West Africa you don't even wanna know what I go through because I chose to not have my hair "neat" and "kept" and keeping locs that make me look "irresponsible" and "not so handsome" (which is a PC way of saying ugly). I've heard it all man. The effects of Eurocentricity lingers on.
Exactly. I never have either. Never heard of this being a gender-ish matter.
I haven't finished watching but i hope they mention the trend of the fake locs. The silky ones. That ANTM lady wore them, she has the light eyes. Eva. And there are some others. Trend a LOT on social media, tho that is just social.
What's interesting for me is the loc'd vs loose relationship between black people. IT'S LEGIT A WHOLE NEW WORLD !! When i was a loose natural, all of my natural haired girl friends worshipped this idea of attaining long curly hair and judged routines and length etc. So when i shaved my head in high school there was major controversy because i had long curly hair. My guy friends stopped talking to me , my peers treated me different. Then i decided i was going to grow out my hair a little and start locs . The loc'd women that i encountered where so encouraging and sweet. They gave me advice and told me i was beautiful. Even loc'd men would call me queen, offer to do my hair, teach me the history of locs. I have found that in the loc community, black people in particular are just so conscious and mindful of uplifting you through that journey because it gets rough. ion know just my 2 cents lol
I have had a man ask me if guys still find me attractive now that I have locs. He was honestly curious so I didn't get upset but it is true that men in general complimented me more when I had all other styles. The majority of males who complimented my locs, especially in the starter stage, were men with locs.
I love women with locs and I honestly think they are sexy on black women
I’m trying to get my wife to get some now lol
Facts
Af
black women with locs are powerful
Yesss 🥰🥰🥰
My uncles always told me growing my hair was girly. Ya think I cared?!? Nope. Shoulder length locs. Done by myself. Don't care who got a problem with it.
Love that energy!
I think the Eurocentric beauty standards is a driving force behind this conundrum like she said
Locs are what you make them for yourself. I feel feminine with my locs. My husband has rocked with me through growing long locs, cutting them off, and starting again with teeny tiny baby locs. He loves it all right along with me. His only preference is that it's natural which is my preference.
Respect to women who have locs. They are natural and beautiful not related to masculine in any way!!
Locs can look good on women or men...but it depends on the person wearing it and IF it fits their personality/aura.
Truth, it's a vibe.
Exactly thank you !!
Personality? Aura? People get locs for varying reasons. Whether or not it "fits" or rather suits a person is based entirely on their perspective and their purposes for getting locs. Personality doesn't neccesarily correlate with outward appearance. I just like the way the hair style looks on me personally. I've no spiritual ties to my locs. That being said however, we as individuals find whatever we find valuable to be just that, "valuable". Whatever anyone else has to say about it doesnt matter. Do what makes you happy.
@@zzdesolatezz IMHO, as a woman, personality DOES impact someone’s outward attractiveness.
Omg you're absolutely right!! And as a matter of fact, having locs has actually changed my aura (if that makes sense lol)... People are more drawn to me, and more respectful now than before when I used to wear fake hair.
Honestly I’ve been approached more, by guys I PREFER. I feel like a woman with locs may intimidate some because it is a high level of confidence, (this is my opinion.) A woman allowing her to grow as is, without thinking of what they say the standards of beauty are. Same with buzz cuts, hair is seen as beauty and they completely do away with it. Maybe that’s why we are approached less. A man has to have that kind of confidence to be with a women outside of the beauty “standards”.
Locs make Women look BuMMy and rugged sorry🤷
I love seeing women with locs. I sub just to see them flow on our beautiful queens
This is interesting. As someone from the caribbean locs are a more than common thing to see on women. Every other woman u see walking down the street has locs. Theres no "masculine" stereotype associated with locs here, in fact it's actually a more feminine thing to have. You see both men and women rocking them equally here. It's more associated with being rastafarian than anything even if ur not a rasta
That’s sounds like a beautiful place! 😢 I need to visit!
@@TPlocks It is beautiful. I guess I never really thought about how dreads, braids, twists etc. Are so normalized here until I watched this video lol. I love natural hairstyles on women I dont see how anyone could see it as masculine
I’m new to the loc journey and it was truly liberating. Even with these short little locs, I feel more beautiful than I ever did in weaves, relaxers or wigs. I feel like a loc’d feminine goddess 👑
I think it’s a minority hairstylist within a minority group. The eurocentric idea of beauty has affected other minorities to try and conform to them. So as long as natural hair remains out of the mainstream the shift of representation will remain as it is now in our community.
Awww, thank you for the shoutout!! Great conversation!
Thanks for sharing your experience in the first place! It’s definitely a great convo! Also big ups on all your work in the loc community! 👏🏾😁
I feel more beautiful and feminine with my locs.. my locs are dope.. im in love with my locs u hear me!!!! lol and any time men approach me they have a glow when they look at me or my hair.. maybe its the confidence i have that makes it feminine or makes me attractive 🤷🏾♀️ all i know is i get more genuine attention vs superficial..
That sound effect on the “beady bead” comment... Took. Me. Out!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Edits like that give me a chance to be goofy 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've always been more attracted to to female with natural hair. Long or short. Straight or locks.
Me too fam! ✊🏽
I like bald women too lol. There are some woman who can get away with a bald head. A lot of times people equate their femininity to their long hair, curves, breasts, etc. But, IMO it never mattered to me.
@@zzdesolatezz But he never said just how short the hair has to be. He didn't even say bald😂 you can have short hair but there's different types of short hair.
So i am an executive professional and i am the only African American in management and i have Locs. I am over 2 years in and i interlock. I was natural for 5 years before i locked my hair. I think that in this day and age it should not matter how we wear our hair. I do think that women with Locs are beautiful in all types from free form to sister Locs. This was a great video. Nina made some good points. She is a great content creator one of my favorite female lockers. 🔒
I’ve stated before that lately I haven’t felt feminine with my locs. I think it’s because I was so used to my loose natural hair being manicured, sleek, and polished. My locs are semi-free formed. I prefer not to retwist often....However, I’ve been able to fall in love with my natural beauty in its most raw form. It’s just something I’ve been battling quite a bit.
I’m grateful for you sharing! I think it’s important to share these types of things to help empower those who may feel like nobody understands them! It’s even more inspiring to share that process and how you came to love in the end! Thank you for sharing!
Don’t forget Whoopi Goldberg. She on The View with Locs.
How tf I forget my girl!!!!! 🤦🏾♂️
She definitely a pioneer bro; especially when the comes to representation.
@@jayjamjackproductions2101 but let’s be honest. She always got the reputation for being “ugly”. There’s a meme circulating about it and all! Perhaps a link there? I’m not too sure!
That maybe true, but I have found some of Whoopi’s Magazine covers. She wasn’t looking too bad lol. Nevertheless, her being seen as “ugly” speaks to your point about black women being held to Eurocentric standards of beauty.
@@jayjamjackproductions2101 no but you’re right ultimately! She’s a huge pillar! And I know I’ve always thought her locs were dope. I’m a clown for forgetting her! 🤦🏾♂️
When I went from weave to locs the amount of men trying to talk to decreased but the quality increased
This was one of the reasons it took me so long because of the responses of negativity when you tell people. Now I am at an age where I don’t care (diversity matters) in every since even hair. I will be starting my journey later this month.
Thanks for this video!
Dreads can look stunning on anyone! Think there's a massive negative misconception about their cleanliness, maintainability, and the overall character of an individual wearing them (even from our own community). But as you've said, and are living proof of I must add - it's having that knowledge that makes it work :)
You ain’t never lied! lol I think our women get so much scrutiny about their hair. But I always felt locs on women were beautiful✊🏾
I understand that. Growing up as a young girl I've always wanted locs but because my family saw me as feminine they didn't allow me to, fearing that I would hate myself. I finally decided to start my locs last month and I'm so excited for what they'll grow to be. And It hasn't changed my feminity nor who I am as a person.
Loc’s are the perfect symbol of unity. Man Women Child Old Young. Women with loc’s to me radiate and glowing. It it allows me to see their actual presence. Facially.
It’s literally because of the socials. Women tend o be much more attached to their hair than men. Like women are much more attached to keep their hair a certain way and changing it it’s a process, while men mostly grow up cutting it and changing cuts all their lives, so switching into hairstyles like dreadlocks for men may be easier. I’m definitely the only girl in my social circles with dreads, there are a few men with dreads.
I had locs back in the day for 4 1/2 years and I enjoyed every phase of growth. I’ve been natural for 42 of my 47 years, and I know this much: If you care for your natural hair, it will love you back. I’m 47 now and I’ve always had very thick hair, but I swear it’s even thicker now. I’m getting ‘rewarded’ for avoiding heat, straightening and I do grease my scalp about every other day, edges on fleek. I’m rocking a beautiful Afro now. My experience has been that confidence is contagious and I did not fall for the okey doke of my natural hair not being beautiful past ages 17-21 when I had a relaxer. I was like, “ It’s so unique, why would I want to change it. “. Now we have so many products as well to moisturize our hair.
We here for that consistency mannee 💪
We not falling off family! 🔥✊🏾
I’m from dc, girls have been rocking the locs just as much as the fellas Nd I’ve been seeing this since I was n middle school n 06
I’ve had locs for around 15 years. It’s only within the last few years that I’ve felt less feminine with locs (due to so many men with locs these days). Interestingly, I got locs to feel more feminine because I wore a very short natural.
Thanks so much for sharing! Why do you feel like men have changed how you viewed them?
you spoke the TRUTH !! everything we see impacts our perceptions and expectations !! even things that we think are innocent or don’t matter impact us. this runs veerrryyy deep
i'm a long time supporter of nina and she has really good insight about these topics surrounding women, locs ,femininity, and how they work together. I follow quite a few female loc'd youtubers for advice, encouragement, and insight but i haven't gotten all that from a male loc'd youtuber... untill now. Definitely subscribing !
I’m grateful this video created some channel overlap! 😁 Thank you for joining my lil loc family!
I really like these kind of vids. I think it'd be cool if you did more vids on the perception of dreadlocks cause I'm finding out a lot of perspectives I've never heard before
I’ll definitely keep em coming family! 🙏🏾
Thanks for sharing Nina’s video. I’ve always said, it’s a rare thing to see a woman with locs represented in the media. This is my second loc journey. I combed my last set out and went loose natural for a while. My yearning to have my locs back won me back to restarting my locs a year ago yesterday. I’m loving every minute of my journey!
She’s makes amazing content! I’m glad you’re back with the locs and loving it! (Most importantly😊)
Its already hard enough in this country to wear our hair loose natural. Locs, I feel, are the next step and a true embrace of our natural hair texture. Its a commitment to it and a rejection of those Eurocentric beauty standards which label everything that makes black women unique as masculine.
I guess because I was born in the Caribbean that I never looked at locs with these opinions. My father was a Rastafarian and I had man women in my life who had locs 🤷🏽♀️. I love mine
I find you all have much more pride and reverence for your natural selves in general tbh. Such strong people!
For the majority of my life, my mother has had locs. She was the blueprint of beauty for me. Now, as a young man on his own loc journey, they are beautiful and awesome in whatever way they come. Just love to see em. Kings and Queens everywhere 🖤💪🏾
Late to this video and conversation but Lisa Bonet has worn locs for years and NYC mayoral candidate Maya Wiley also has them.
I prefer locs on women over weaves. This way we can save money on products 😂.
she’s buying it
This is perfect! Thank you!
You’re welcome! 🙏🏾
I was approached by my black male classmate who had just gotten his dreadlocks at the end of our high school year, he had said that I would good having dreadlocks and to consider dreadlocks and he was going to help me put them in my hair.
Being black at that time in the 80s, appearace was everything at least it was what I had thought it was, and thought it was inappropriate just getting out of high school.to have dreadlocks, I had decided that it wasn't for me, that I could not see myself walking into white society on a job with dreadlocks,.and seeing how people were not being accepted on the job, but now that I have gotten older, I wished I had taken his advise in my younger years.
I had always had short hair and different hair styles. I remember my mom asking me one day, God bless her, may she rest in peace, asked me when will I stop having so many hair styles and stick to one, I remember telling her that I had not found myself and when I do that I will stop.
Well to make a long story short, fitting into white society did not make a difference even when it came to various hair styles, the racism with these people would never change towards us a black men and women.
It took me to see sores and bumps on my scalp and the stintch from the busting sores and bumps and seeing my hair fall out to get me to see what was happening to my hair and scalp.
If it wasn't for my children's dermatologist who noticed my demeanor, she asked me, momma what was wrong and I told her and showed her my hair and scalp, she asked if I had ever given my scalp a break from relaxers, I told her no I have not, she told me to stop and let my scalp and follicles rest go natural.
She prescribed me a strong prescription for me to take to clear up the infection.
My daughter asked me about getting dreadlocks, was Still somewhat reluctant, but this was a second chance for me, so took it and ran with it. In 2011 I got my first set of locks and I will have them for 10 years this coming July 2021. I'm so glad I did. Oh yeah, my high school classmate who first introduced me to dreadlocks saw in Walmart, he shook his head in approval, smiled and walked away, from that time forward, it didn't matter if I had chemical processed hair or natural hair, it's my abilities to do my job that was important. I work now on the Airforce base and everyone loves my dreadlocks.
I know that this story was long but I strive to keep it short as possible.
I’m grateful for your story! In the end it proves that that self love and care was the best thing for you! It’s an honor to still be able to hear these stories. Knowing the pressure you dealt with in the 80s is extremely valuable to this community! Thank you! 😊
@@TPlocks Thank you very much!!!
Valid points, love your videos TP locks ❣️
Thanks for the support! ✊🏾 😁
Dreads are beautiful on black women. I wonder if it is more about the confidence and less about the actual hair. Blacks folks have to deal with sooo much. 😂😂😂
True. 🤔
I agree, I’ve never thought one sex to have ownership over locs. First of all, the girl in the video looked beautiful with her looks if we gonna keep it all the way 100. My cousin went natural about 8yrs ago, she been considering locs. I’m trying to encourage her to make the jump. As far as im concerned, locs are for everybody.
The representation as far as locs goes was really interesting to see. You don’t see too many women in the media rocking them
Im a woman who has had dreads for 12 years. Ive had multiple people(men and women) say my dreadlocks made me less feminine. Maybe I'm stubborn, but it made me dig in my heels and actually become more confident.
Locks are great, unisex, and transcend culture and many other things. I always thought of dreads as "bonus points."
I guess because I’m limited to my country Jamaica, I haven’t experienced any form of negative comebacks about my locs.
As I keep saying in my videos though, locs/dreadlocks are for everyone.
I definitely envy that! A few of our loc family have shared similar stories and I’ve been jealous every time! 😅
Always loved women with natural hair.
Sammmmmme
I feel the same .. my locs make me feel like boy , a lot of women approach me & a lot of men always ask do I ha e a gf oppose to do you have a man .
I love my wife's locs I want to loc mine but the military isn't having it yet
I hear that fam! They don’t even allow beards so they?
@@TPlocks not yet but with the laws that are passing I'm hoping all that will change. 🤷🏾♂️ In due time I guess
I only seen like one or two women with locs because its not normalized as a feminine hairstyle in media. Many black woman also like switching up their hairstyles instead of being locked into one look for a long period of time.
TP said I'm losing weight so my 💍 get'n loose!!!!!! Bro I enjoy the discussions around certain aspects of the loc community, it's healthy conversation. There are so many gems! Keep it up bro
Lol i watch all u vids bro im jamaican , when i first started my locks it was ur videos that brought be comfort , before u was even at 10k subs im happy ur channel is growing n i love your videos ur an awesome dude bro god bless 😎🦁
Lisa Bonet is beautiful with locs.
What could be more feminine on a woman than natural hair???
I've been seeing alotta caucasian dread head women the last few years and I don't mean the extensions.
I think people are becoming more excepting of locked hair across the board.
Bible says a really strong dude had power in his hair, didn't say he was feminine.
People used to say they loved my natural curly hair but it wasn't natural lol, I had to comb out massive knots!
Currently, idc what I appear to be bc I'm 💯 female 😉
Great video!
Right?!! I’m excited to hear everyone’s experience
@@TPlocks sorry, Had to edit lol
thank you so much for talking about this , i think if the people they surveyed were more diverse in age group, responses would’ve been different , a lot of women close to me actually seek out men with longer hair , myself included , personally , i think locs can be both, but not regarding gender , just how the person with them decides to present them and how they manifest their energy , i think it’s just another frustrating attempt at keeping people from reaching that liberation and spiritual journey that comes with it for many people , i see no other reason , because it’s beautiful, thank you for starting this conversation !!
I can only speak for myself I love natural hair styles on woman whether it be locs preferably or afro etc
This was so well done.
You're so sweet.👍👍👍
this is my first time hearing any of this. I personally have locs and no i dont see women with locs in the mainstream media, and thats probably because theyre more interested in wigs lol... However i see tons of everyday-women with faux locs and other women like myself with real locs. Its not masculine idk what that guy was talking about.
Yes. I have never heard of it like this either and yes the other side could be a LOT simpler: The women just don't want to wear locs as much. Most black people I am around and talk with about hair don't mention locs. But there was a popular trend of the fake ones so the interest was there. Testing it out before they commit.
I felt that im loosing weight 😂😂
I think at least amongst black people it’s not viewed as masculine but to the point of other races I can see that point raised in the video and I think the biggest contributor to that under representation is that it’s a minority hairstyle amongst a minority group as was also stated in the video. But there’s definitely lots of other factors.
Depends on how you style them I always thought🤷🏾♀️. I'm budding alot right now(almost 6 months in),so my locs look rough. But I pin them up or wear a headband to give that feminine touch.☺️ I love it.
I feel like Oshun with my locs
My husband hated me wearing weave, when I decided I wanted locs he began to play with my hair and he said I was so much more sexy to him. He absolutley loves my hair now.
Respectful. Subscribed
Thanks so much for the sub! :)
I feel u I luv natural hair on Women also I have freeform Dreadlocks
I’m 8mos in and I’m startin to feel sad with my locs and a lot less feminine and beautiful… At first I was so confident now I’m starting to feel like maybe these aren’t for women… I’m extremely torn… My loose natural hair was a pretty decent length and if has shriveled up so much!!! It’s even harder wen they’re still short!Now I wish I would’ve jus left my hair alone…I don’t want to cut my hair but I don’t want to bother combing them out.🤦🏾♀️
A great way to navigate through this is to see all the loc journeys of women who’ve felt the same way and pushed through! So many deal with the same thing. You shouldn’t feel that on your own! There’s a community whod love to encourage you!
Yoooo!! Finally made it first! Lets go!!
Second by a hair family!!! 🔥🔥
The GQ video I would take LIGHTLY. Personally... That's all imma say
Max from Girlfriends had locks beautiful
Yes locs are the greatest style
The absolute best!!! ✊🏾
@@TPlocks i always encourage natural over all others because I want to do my small part in letting our woman know you are beautiful the way you were made and as for me i feel like when i decided to loc it was one of the best decisions of my life because not only was it about hair for me but I actually started getting more into my spiritual side and taking better care of my health just everthing seem like it changed for me i can't really explain it more
I love my loc
Women with natural hair and locks are just mad hot man
Bro i asked myself that about commercials. I've never seen even commercials with people with locs. Male or female. They just started to promote commercials with people having tats all over smh
Our locs don't feed the matrix to pay taxes....locs are free ....so this is not excepted to benifits Amerikkka....that's why I stay loving my locs and my self love
this mainstream world full of fuckries. stop following it n do whatever tf y’all wanna do ppl. bless💪🏽👊🏽💯
Erica on Martin Roland
I don't care how my man hair is once he's not looking homeless and he loves to look well kept so idk. Never really been a thought in my mind of preference.
I personally love the look of locs on EVERYONE. It brings out a natural beauty. Idk what it is.
I can name a popular woman with locs but I don't wanna get you demonetized😂
👀
Now I’m curious 👀
@@MementoVivere. lol its kira noir
@@user-bo7vv6yg2s U have good taste. I'm a fan or her work myself. 😏📹 lol
Me entire family had locs at one time so they always seemed pretty unisex to me. I know plenty of women with locs 🤷🏾♂️
WHOOPIE HAS HAD LOCKS IN MAINSTREAM FOREVER
Francesca Ramsay cut off her locs, which I speculate is because she wanted to get into mainstream media. I cried that day. 😭
Honestly …. This is new to me …. I’m Jamaican… the hairstyle is pretty popular …… and not just among Rastafarians. …… almost 4 years with mine !!!
Tp can you make a video of how to maintain your locs daily because I completed my research but don’t know what I should get to look after my potential locs.should I wear Durag all the time ?how often should I oil?and wash ?
Whoopi Goldberg
Facts!
Not sure what this means but I started following you because you were one of few starting locs with short hair...Men OR women. I wanted to see more people with short locs because I had just made a transition from the big chop. There are not many on people youtube....not many in entertainment.
TP locks!!
Wsup family! 🔥
@@TPlocks always love the vids brother much love ❤️
I appreciate the support family!
You’re a very beautiful man, dang
in the bible we know locs hold Power , don't let the heathen lead u astray.
Who’s the heathen? 👀
The heathen is who follow not the ways of the Lord
Before I even started this video I was like...wait 🤔...
but you 🔨 it right at 2:12. Like wth people, decide which one it is 🙄😒
But I def think it’s a systematic AND a business AND a cultural thing. I’ve wanted locs my whole life but said I’d wait till I was older and “settled” (truly hilarious cuz nope. I am not)
AND it was definitely not a thing my mama, etc would (or do now🤔) really support.
Mom especially, despite being a major sports fan and seeing locs every damn where, even now I think is still fighting herself to not turn up her nose at the fact that I loc’d up.
And I have several loc’d relatives including a (female) cousin my age range with gorgeous, mature locs who is a successful NP so idk what it is 🤷🏾♀️ - aside from the generational anathema to anything considered “unkempt” black hair #sigh, and how that might affect how we’re perceived by the 🌾s and our chances at success I suppose.
Idk. I get it but then I don’t. If we don’t make it a norm as professional black people rocking the hair that grows out of our scalp, it’ll continue to be a thing that surprises people and we’ll continue to have little to no representation It’s hella annoying.
You forgot Whoopi Goldberg and Lisa Bonet though 😂
Lisa’s messy locs are my hair goals
all this to say I don’t give a damn what people think, cuz
I HIT ONE YEAR LOC’D TOMORROW FAM! 🎉🎉🎉
I think its ok. Just like men its a way to embrace the rawness of what hair naturally. My Mom has locks. I have two aunts, and a female cousin with locks. I don't see a problem, but that's just me though.
I'ma just be 100 witcha bruh. Many ppl in America. Specifically in the Black community think that Dreads/locks are a style designed for men. Women who have dreads/locks are assumed to be those conscious or spiritual types. Nothing wrong w/ that. I'm a spiritual guy myself. Or they're assumed to be lesbians. Not how I feel. But that's sadly how many others feel. The job field and eurocentric reasons are true too. That's rarely the reasons as compared to the masculine reason. Fuck dodging the sad real answer that ppl feel is the main reason in most cases. Once again. Not how I feel at all. But that's the reason ppl are tryna avoid. Notice women of various sub cultures/demographics will date a man w/ dreads/locks but seems like only men from very specific subcultures/demographics are into women w/ dreads/locs.
I agree
Locs to me are not feminine or masculine… and it’s 2021 people act like locs are a new thing… everyone knows women and men have locs…and now adays there are more women actually starting their loc journey.. so idk who those people are that think locs are not feminine… where are they?? Who are they?
A simple UA-cam search would yield plenty of those folks. 😂 In this content creation space I don’t really operate by majority rule. If it’s a topic that’s in discussion by any content creators and in the community I’d like to bring it to the table and discuss! Even women in the comments speak of dealing with this.
thank youuuu. Who are they?
Sounds like some folks trying to start a new "debate" discussion. Glad it never took off.
Suzanne Douglas from The Parent Hood and Tap had locs and she rocked them proudly on the show. The Eurocentric beauty ideals is a myth. Most black men aren’t turning black women down because of that. What’s really happening is black women want to appear attractive to white men. Truthfully, men want women who are feminine , not feminist. So the tattoos and facial piercings are not attractive. Locs, if the woman takes care of them, shows that she is hygienic, determined, has grace and has the ability maintain something that requires attention. That’s feminine . As for men, the locs represents strength, steadfastness, wisdom.
Both vids from these ladies was very interesting tho they did have sum points tho
