Somalis With Dreads?

[Keep it a boqol]

What are your thoughts on Somalis with dreads?

I’m thinking of getting that style but I fear it could hinder job prospects and make other somali families think negatively of me.

Imagine pulling up to a potential spouses crib for doonis and the family thinks your a degenerate

Get it done if you want. Dreads are dhaqanka soomaaliyed.

The second they see u wearing a suit and dreads they will think u are a reformed ex convict not to mention unprofessional. You might aswell get a face tattoo and gold teeth.

As for the somali families, one look at you and they will say "stay away from our house u fckin gangbanger" no second looks or chance

my family is very conservative. My father use to threaten to rip my hair out in my sleep when i was growing it.

I can’t imagine what a father would think of you asked their daughters hand in marriage

its lowkey self hatred bro. Something about older Somalis got them hating our natural black features.

There is nothing wrong with our hair.

And there's nothing wrong with the colour of our skin.

I don't like having to go all religious since this is a basic cultural thing but even Nabi Maxamed AS wore braids. There is nothing wrong with dreads wallahi. Both culturally & religiously you get the go ahead. Just wash it properly. Don't listen to what dhageexs say with dread care.

I used to have dreads & kept mines clean. I can teach you how if you're curious.

I can tell u my own opinion if any man wearing dreads came to my daughter asking for her hand or my son claiming to a be a friend or mentor I would tell him to gtfo, I think when people see u with dreads they will immediately stereotype as either - - gangbanger- convict, future criminal, or in ur past had some affiliations with a gang.

It's ur choice sxb but u have to be aware of racism and stereotypes deeply ingrained in our society, especially somalis.

Just rock a man bun bro or get curls.

They are not like tatoos, in that you can remove them and go back to how your hair was. So go and try it, I am confident the experience will be so negative, you will see the light of day before long.

There are people in London, who have that kind of hair style, at best they are stupid. Functionaly, I regard stupidity to be to be the same as evil. So I avoided them all the same, and still would. Maybe Somali Saayid is right, I am a racist stereotyper, in this case, I cant say I am troubled.

I've had mine for about 4 years now.
I got dookie dreads tho (the big ones).
Nothing about my hair is manicured or fashionable, I definitely give off primal vibes Fr even tho it's a common look where I'm from.
White people look at me with Str8 bewilderment sometimes

I wash & moisturize with some thick castor bean oil.Sometimes I pound aloe plants & let the pulp rest in my scalp a lil bit b4 I wash.

Deep cleans are even more involved but I only do those like twice a year. Acv/black soap washes are the truth!! Even on non dreaded hair.

My locs alot like this dude - a lil thicker but they're flat just like his

I wanna band mine up, (make them thicker) & rock em like this dude tho

I don't think I have the patience these days - my current set is already alot

Do u bra, Alotta Sufis wear locs

Some Jamaicans rock this style but these days it's more of a Haitian/Down South AA thing.

We get it from our ancestors

Senegalese people to this day still loc their hair up this way.

Baye Fall!!

Many White women and men have confided in me that they find black people with dread hair especially frightening.


I add-- these heavy homeless hair look, has Bad Demons living in them

Get it done if you want. Dreads are dhaqanka soomaaliyed.
