Culture Appropriation? Why More Black Women Are Wearing Locs | Loc Journey | dreadlocks 

I love when other races and cultures appreciate locs! Cultural appreciation is a real thing lol its not all appropriation. Great video!

More people getting locs now because barely any good hairstylist exist anymore and overcharge tf out of clients now. That’s the real truth 😂 if old school hairstylists came back I bet women would be turning away from locs left and right

I started my loc journey in 2019 but was a loose natural for about 10 yrs before starting them because I have always loved them, tired of weaving and braiding my hair using added hair, and the breakdown of my hair from all the years in my youth using the "creamy crack". I have always felt locs symbolize strength within and my Jamaican heritage. I do not regret my decision at all, and always knew that I would loc my hair once i got up in age...only regret I have was not doing it sooner ❤

I started myloc journey with extension during covid as well. I installed them myself. I was recovering from a 🧠 injury and i was just ready for s change. Ive learn so much from my journey. I been wanting to do it for awhile. Yea I didn't start the traditional way but it my journey. Me personally I just wanted mines longer. I dont call it the ugly phase. Thank you not judging and being supportive. I just subscribed 🤓

girl, Locs have been trending for a good 5 years +. I'm not sure if its regional but im from NYC and we have been wearing locs forever. Especially crotchet locs

I started my journey because I'm tired of paying money to put someone else's hair in my head. The price of human hair wigs is ridiculous.

my godson like that anime. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I stayed doing crochet braids and crochet faux locs. I kept spending money to do the same thing, I'm like I'm wasting money and time. Having locs in corporate for me has been more accepting than I thought. I think locs are art so there's so many angles to discuss which makes them pretty trendy.

Interesting topics❤you keeping it real about your loc journey enjoyed it all. Big Shoutout to you maintaining and sporting your locs half of your life. You and your locs are beautiful. ❤🏆

I like how you handled this. To me culture is what you grow up with and that you are shaped by; I don’t think it’s fair for people to not be allowed to practice the culture that they grow up with. This creates a problem because black culture tends to trend on social media and generations of kids worldwide grow up with it and are shaped by it. So it’s like their culture too; I find it heart rending when people get attacked for misappropriation because they all seem so blindsided. Im not sure that it’s not their culture too, it originates with us maybe but it can become everyone’s and tormenting some people is not going to make it better. Plus doors get opened for us to allow us to function more as ourselves when everyone is doing it.

Thanks for sharing.

Love this!!!
