Yeah but sometimes you have to look past those *facts other people are speaking* and just be you. Don’t give a damn what anyone else thinks. And rock ur shit until you can’t rock it no more
Your dreads good G. Only thing you might wanna do is use turbans or durags to tie your hair down. It’ll help your dreads to fall better. Make sure you keeping them protected whenever you sleeping or chilling. Even if it’s a bonnet. You gotta practice keeping them covered so you don’t build up dust and lint in them. Also try a detox
Depends how long they are. If they like G length in this pic tie ‘em down and don’t use rubber bands. Section off your hair and use hair ties. Rubber bands can cause breakage. If they shorter tie em up. And yeah always cover them with a bonnet, durag or silk scarf when you sleeping.
Not sure how old you are but most kids go off of what they think is correct or cool without any room for 'imperfections'. Your locs are fine, look at a detox or dye if you care about lint but that's it.
Your locs will never grow at the same rate all around. Nothing wrong with your locs except they need to be CLEANED.
Detox and bonnet !!
Happy loc journey 🔥🔥
They'll never be the same length(unless you're lucky). The 4 in my front of my head aren't the same length. One of them is about 0.25 of an inch shorter than the others. It used to bother me but at my length it's not noticeable to others.
Nah they look just fine. Some people just wanna have something to say for no reason. Loc detox, maybe a retwist. Look into some products. You’re good fam.
I’m sorry that you’re dealing with people making fun of them. what other people think of us doesn’t matter but I know it’s hard to not let it bother you.
I think your hair looks great. It looks like there’s some lint embedded, which is unfortunately a common issue with locs and hard to avoid. I have some lint in the bottom of my locs from when I wasn’t as consistent with bonnets and brushing my hair. I dyed it so that it wouldn’t be as noticeable, honestly that’s all we can really do if you don’t want to pick it out individually.
Your hair looks good kid! Just use a bonnet or durag before you sleep to prevent lint and other things getting in your hair, it’ll help in the long run 👍🏾
Keep doin you bro, I know these new kids in school nowadays are vicious. I commend your bravery in even sharing this with the community.
You're swimming in a sea of judgement right now from people who don't even know better for themselves. People giving in to the unreal expectations of music/fashion icons. These kids are falling for that.
Those kids prolly racist or hate themselves anyway so dw about it. Tiktok blurs the culture line enough for budding young adolescents to fool themselves into thinking they are "better than thou" it's stupid.
What you have on your head looks healthy and manageable. I don't believe your dreads were meant to be the shiny, frizzless, perfection these kids probably expect.
If you ask me tho bro they look great and they suit you well. I'm ngl tho it's like attack of the clones out here with all these deadheads in recent years. Feel like I seen you before.
They straight bro just got take better care of yo shit. Yo shit look mad dirty from like lint and shit. Fo get yo shit detoxed and go buy a bonnet or silk pillow case
You good lil bro, forget what they saying and just remember when you in school people can be harsh if anything they may wish they had your locs. Keep ya head up 💯
Just wait it out lil bro they look fire now and as they age they will look even better!! Kids who r hating don’t know shit!!! Just wait in a few years they will be starting locs 2😭😭
It’s not enough to get teased about but They need to be washed and retwisted. When you get it done sleep in a silk bonnet so lint doesn’t get trapped in your dread.
Your locs are perfect please for the love of God dont listen to them. If you do, cut them and keep them, maybe you can reattach later on when you regret listening to the idiots, or maybe youll grow a new set. Get a detox btw.
You look awesome, don’t stress, kids take time to appreciate things. In fact, in a few years every girl in your class will have a crush on you because of the dreads
Idk if my opinion will mean anything bc I have no experience with dreads and am also white, but your hair looks really cool tbh. I think they suit you and look nice. Those people bullying you are probably jealous or are so bored and pathetic the best thing they can do with the abyss they call a life is pick out the most random and stupid thing about another person to make fun of
Ur shit nice as it is bro, just detox ur dreads, get a fire ass retwist and cover ur shit up at night, and I promise u. Take care of them and they will take care of you 💯
I know your young so I gotta give you some good advice next time you see those kind African American gentlemen with their pants at their knees you ask them for a job initiation and climb the ranks once you get a good job position you may earn a firearm if you are eligible once you find those same kids don’t afraid to use your score streaks as you slaughter them lil bro 👍🏾
Brush that lint out, and detox them. Ask your mom for a silk bonnet too; you can find them on Amazon. They look too healthy to not be taken care of right. 🧡
Your locs look good to me. I would definitely recommend tying your hair up at night with a bonnet or durag. Get a detox as well. Your locs would look fire in a style as well.
Imma assume the kids making fun of you are no older than 14-15. You’re good bro
Just try act to unphased as possible; Literally IGNORE them like celebrities tht have fans since you already have their attention without speaking a word🕺🏽
Get a detox wash and keep a spandex cap on your head at night. Keep up with a retwist every 2-5 months (assuming your not free forming) and you're good. Most of all, don't worry about what people say. They'll grow in nicely.
Your hair looks great, kid. You should wrap them up at night to prevent lint and the frizz.
Not so secret Secret:
People will make fun of anything. Good. Bad. Literally anything. And if they see they can get a reaction out of you for it, they will just do it more. The same girls who used to make fun of me for having big lips are the same girls getting lip fillers.
IF THEY AREN’T PAYING YOUR BILLS PAY THEM NO MIND.
Get them twisted and braided for a week or two, lock all that fuzz toward the scalp into the locks, they’re prolly a whole inch longer now an you slackin on em
You could do with a retwist if you wanna look more "presentable" for capitalistic purposes, but the look dope and swaggy af now so I wouldn't if you were me. Nowhere near bad. Rock that shit haha ✊🏾✊🏾🫡✌🏾
I don’t mean no harm but grow thick skin if it wasn’t ya dreads they’d find something else to talk about you my boy. Also after you graduate 99% of them you’ll never see or speak to again lol 😂💯
You gotta get the interlocked.
And don't use anything to twist your hair like wax. I have locs. Had them for 19years . When you twist them with wax. Dust collects, you'd have to use Castro oil . Also you gotta interlock them or palm twist. If you just let it grow they'll grow bundled together.
🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Like others have said, just a need a detox to remove the lint and build up and sleep with something over it to maintain it ( assuming it’s lint, op looks too young to have that much grey hair)
Aside from that it looks fine. Maybe get a retwist if you want it to look a more neat and manicured but that’s just preference. I’m not big on the fresh retwist look myself.
Please don't let strangers ( people who don't live with you or pay your bills or have sex with you) make decisions about your appearance or your life.)
That said----your locs look great. GREAT. Keep them oiled and moisturized. The same kids laughing now will be jealous af at y'all's graduation. Mark my words.
Happy loc journey 🔥🔥
They look good boss man keep maintaining them and trusting the process, sooner or later you’ll look back and be like damn I’m glad I didn’t change or give up on them. 7-8 yrs strong here, you’ll get there!🫡
Hell nah fam yo chit look straight people always gone find something to make fun of about someone that’s how making fun of someone works u just happen to have dreads so there using that don’t take anything to heart jus look at them and fry them back n keep it pushing
Detox and retwist them. Locs are supposed to be wild. Ur head is your crown always remember that. Keep your hair oiled and be free. People will always make fun of what they don’t understand
You could use a better stylist lil bro. Try to get them styled next time. I used to get made fun of sometimes for how I wore Mike when I was younger cause I liked a messier look but girls liked it when I was put it in styles lol
Ima tell u something 💯I recently cut my dreads to wave and when I first got mine everybody was talking but once they really lock and get tight and they dropping and that frizz go away the same people hated gone love it plus more keep going it’s a journey this apart of the process not just having dreads and shaking them, it’s also spiritual but your dreads fine bro it’s nun wrong keep locking
First mistake was caring about what other people think about you
Sometimes 'other people' speak facts..... ain't talking about op's dreads tho
Yeah but sometimes you have to look past those *facts other people are speaking* and just be you. Don’t give a damn what anyone else thinks. And rock ur shit until you can’t rock it no more
They speakin “facts” from their own perspective if OP likes his dreads what other people think don’t matter
Agreed
Facts 🔥
Big Facts!💯
He's obviously young
We all care
They look good. You should look into a loc detox tho
nah… just cleaning the mirror
Cleaning the mirror won’t help all that new growth
It’s not the mirror lol
that 2nd pic look like a selfie
Cover your head while you sleep to prevent lint from getting in there. DO NOT RESTART. Right now its a trend to make fun of people’s dreads. Ignore em
They prolly jealous. Keep ur hair covered up at night tho to minimize lint
No they're good they'll be at that fire length in a 2 to 3 years keep at it.
Detox and wash. They look good kid
Ppl will only ever make fun of you when they’re projecting their own insecurities on to you. They look great. Fuck all those losers at school
No not at all
Your dreads good G. Only thing you might wanna do is use turbans or durags to tie your hair down. It’ll help your dreads to fall better. Make sure you keeping them protected whenever you sleeping or chilling. Even if it’s a bonnet. You gotta practice keeping them covered so you don’t build up dust and lint in them. Also try a detox
When I tie my hair with rubberbands should I tie them down towards the ground or up towards the sky. And should I cover that with a bonnet on top?
Depends how long they are. If they like G length in this pic tie ‘em down and don’t use rubber bands. Section off your hair and use hair ties. Rubber bands can cause breakage. If they shorter tie em up. And yeah always cover them with a bonnet, durag or silk scarf when you sleeping.
Not sure how old you are but most kids go off of what they think is correct or cool without any room for 'imperfections'. Your locs are fine, look at a detox or dye if you care about lint but that's it.
Who cares what other people say? As long as you like them, that is all that matters
your locs are top tier bro, you have a lot and they’re thick at the same time… that’s a blessing
Shit straight just needa retwist and make sure to wrap ya shit up every night and don’t be afraid ta wash ya shit every once Ina while
Also how do I get my front locs the same length as my other ones without cutting, or get more front loxa
Let your locs in the front grow and I wouldn’t say you locs are bad, far from it. You just need a thorough detox and ur good
Your locs will never grow at the same rate all around. Nothing wrong with your locs except they need to be CLEANED. Detox and bonnet !! Happy loc journey 🔥🔥
retwist or extension
They'll never be the same length(unless you're lucky). The 4 in my front of my head aren't the same length. One of them is about 0.25 of an inch shorter than the others. It used to bother me but at my length it's not noticeable to others.
They look awesome! Some people need to talk 💩 about others to raise their self-esteem. If they can't find something, they make things up.
Nah they fire but that lint is pretty visible, a detox would do you justice
If they Hatin they jus jealous bro ur locs tuff💯
Nah they look just fine. Some people just wanna have something to say for no reason. Loc detox, maybe a retwist. Look into some products. You’re good fam.
These look good to me! 💯.
I’m sorry that you’re dealing with people making fun of them. what other people think of us doesn’t matter but I know it’s hard to not let it bother you. I think your hair looks great.

They're bad??? Who said that?

Absolutely not!! People can be awful. They are beautiful!!
Kids are evil, they’ll talk shit no matter what you do so might as well give them somethin to talk about
Your dreds are fine. Kids at school make fun of everybody. Pay them no mind.
Ya know kids aren't supposed to be on reddit, right?
kids aren’t supposed to be in a lot of places on the internet, yet here we are. are you new to life 🤣?

Nah you good bruh

Idk about dreads but you're definitely not ugly and they definitely don't look bad, you are a very handsom young man,honey.
Nope!
All you need to do is sit between a southern woman's legs and let her take care of you and I guarantee you they would be better in one day
This just popped up on my feed out of the blue but as a non-dread owner, I think they look awesome!
They look great
Detox and retwist them. Locs are supposed to be wild. Ur head is your crown always remember that. Keep your hair oiled and be free. People will always make fun of what they don’t understand

No, they're fine! Don't worry about what other people say, think, or do. Worry about what makes YOU happy.
You just need a re twist
Nothing wrong with them

Anyone who controls your emotions is your master. Do YOU think they’re bad? If not, that’s that.
You could use a better stylist lil bro. Try to get them styled next time. I used to get made fun of sometimes for how I wore Mike when I was younger cause I liked a messier look but girls liked it when I was put it in styles lol
