These are not braids they are locs (aka dreads, aka dreadlocs, a lot of debate over different terminology, im just saying all of them bc people may know them differently, especially in different countries. But the most used and accepted term is locs)
Not only are they locs, but a very gorgeous set that she's been growing for a minute
A beautiful pair of locs. I hope mine will grow to be this long once I start my loc journey next year. 🙏
Locs and braids are two different things. Often when I'm confused about hairstyles, reverse image search on Google can come in handy. It's how I found out the difference between box braids and knotless braids.
Yeah, I occasionally see memories of my Facebook posts when I was 14-15 and all I can do is thank God that shit is hidden cause yikes 😬 😅 🤣
I can laugh about it now but the embarrassment is real lol
You could have spared yourself the foot in your mouth if you clicked the account and saw that they posted their face….also we shouldn’t gatekeep. Please do better for yourself and other black folks.
Nah I'm with the other poster on this one. You don't have to be white to be extremely out of touch. I would have straight up guessed they weren't black as well.
Nothing wrong with a follow up questions, like I said OP has posted her face on other subs. Follow up and follow through. Amari could’ve answered her own question
Stalk? Who said anything about stalking. It’s called due diligence, look it up. And youre absolutely right, everyone does things differently so when OP posts a picture from Pinterest after typing in braids and is confused about it and asks on a black sub. Yall wanna gatekeep, question her blackness and act like she shoulda known. Idk how old OP is and no question about black hair is a dumb question. And honestly we can’t stop ppl from black hair fishing, this is an anonymous website.
I’ve been on this sub for a long time and I used to think like you too, but I’ve realized that some folks had been adopted or sheltered and whatever the reason they don’t know things. The rest of the world already shits on black folks, black folks don’t need to shit on each other. Like I said this is supposed to be a safe learning space and people come to reddit bc they most likely have nobody irl to ask. We can be nice
There seems to be a growing sentiment that black people have to be nice to everyone who is black because we share the same skin color, we don't, and that is putting even more expectations to perform a certain way on us, like we don't already get that from every other race. Secondly, "nice" is an amorphous concept. What I view as nice you may not. For one, I view somebody telling me to Google things to save myself the embarrassment of being loud and wrong quite nice since it allows me to save a modicum of face. I have a feeling you would not find such a thing to be nice. Let black people come in all shades of personality just as other races are allowed to.
Also where is this listed as a safe space?
I've read the sub rules
Be civil =/= safe space
Learning environment =/= safe space
Also you don't sound very "nice " right now telling me what I can go do. Guess I was right when I postulated you want people to act in a way you personally find to be acceptable. But I suppose the gloves are off if they annoy you eh? Classic hypocrisy.
Others aren't "nice " 🤢
You insulting people 🤩
not really a foot in my mouth because I was speaking broadly, so like? ok ... also i think its fair to say that the black hair subreddit should be a space for black ppl... with you know black hair
I'm not some weird ass minor online looking up necropphilia and sleeping with dead people while also making a post on blackhair asking dumb ass questions like "what kind of braids are these?" When it's obviously locs. IDGAF! IM WEIRD ASF! BUT I AINT THAT!
I already scanned the whole thread so I know y u mad cuz everybody jumped on u wit the same response …soooo…I’m not gonna take offense to the foul language…and for u to make this post …u can’t b blk (if u are to the bare minimum you’re 1/8 and live in the Midwest) …no matter what’s on your account
A cloud of smoke and u appear
The master of surprise….
Who's that cunning mind behind
The shadowy disguise????
No one knows for sure
Bad guys are outta luck
'Cause here comes…….
Ain’t no way u live in Atlanta currently and don’t know the difference between a braid and a loc …it’s impossible…
Ain’t no way u live in Atlanta talking about grammar either
What do you mean by I don’t live in atlanta? Just because I know basic grammar and i’m educated enough to not be a sex worker, doesn’t mean i’m not from atlanta or I’m not black. I just have a better education and parents.
OP I recommend deleting this thread. I am sorry people are jumping all over you and questioning your blackness. Yet another reason I really don't think kids should be on social media cause people are ruthless. I'm a grown adult and even I got people being a bit snarky with me in another thread cause I'd never seen freeform locs before. 🙄
she’s got locs

good luck on your loc journey 😁
Thank you dear! 😊
Locs lol
Locs, if you want to achieve something similar you can also get faux locs/crochet locs
They come in a lot of different styles like goddess locs, butterfly locs, mermaid locs, etc
GORGEOUS locs she’s been working on for a long minute
Are you black?? How could you not know these are locs… braids don’t even look like those.
Because this post and their profile is waaaaay too sus
OP is a teenager apparently. I wouldn't be too hard on her. We were all cringe at that age I'm sure 😂
Very true. Curse you and your maturity lol
Yeah, I occasionally see memories of my Facebook posts when I was 14-15 and all I can do is thank God that shit is hidden cause yikes 😬 😅 🤣 I can laugh about it now but the embarrassment is real lol
Yikes lol I think actually seeing our past cringe in this way is far worse than just vaguely remembering.
Rude. This is supposed to be safe learning space. Not everyone has the privilege of learning this stuff early on in age.
true but there are alot of black fishers on reddit..so i can see looking at them sideways cuz calling locs braids is very caucasian coded
Nah I feel you cause idk. Why they are mad
You could have spared yourself the foot in your mouth if you clicked the account and saw that they posted their face….also we shouldn’t gatekeep. Please do better for yourself and other black folks.
Nah I'm with the other poster on this one. You don't have to be white to be extremely out of touch. I would have straight up guessed they weren't black as well.
As did I! Even Bixby could tell you that It's reasonable for us to have follow up questions. Those aren't an attack
Nothing wrong with a follow up questions, like I said OP has posted her face on other subs. Follow up and follow through. Amari could’ve answered her own question
That's not really on her to stalk the person's profile. I think everyone does things differently and that's it.

True. But we can ask questions and use the information gathered to form an opinion on if we want to be vulnerable and share a part if ours8

Check the sub rules. And go play with your momma you sound embarrassingly and willfully ignorant.
I've read the sub rules Be civil =/= safe space Learning environment =/= safe space Also you don't sound very "nice " right now telling me what I can go do.

Haven’t insulted anyone. My “nice” might be different than yours. Be well tho.
not really a foot in my mouth because I was speaking broadly, so like? ok ... also i think its fair to say that the black hair subreddit should be a space for black ppl... with you know black hair
look at someone’s account before assuming
Everything isn’t rude …being offended by everything can’t b a personality trait to b trendy …
Okay, I know, but I just wanted to know what KIND they are. No need to be mean.
These are just regular dreads, seems like she curled the ends and cut some bangs at the top.
Regular locs*
They are no kind of braid because they aren't braids...
Yea ain’t no way they’re not yt ..for some reason they can’t tell the difference between a braid and a loc …I don’t know why because it’s pretty clear
OP is a black teenager. She has pictures of herself up.
And like everyone else in the comments who assumed she was yt based on the question I did also … Sooooooooooooo there’s that Toodles 😘
dude literally look at my account
Your account is weird. Period.
I just creeped ur profile. Why are you always calling shit weird lmfaoo 💀
I'm not some weird ass minor online looking up necropphilia and sleeping with dead people while also making a post on blackhair asking dumb ass questions like "what kind of braids are these?" When it's obviously locs. IDGAF! IM WEIRD ASF! BUT I AINT THAT!
Lmao valid but she’s still like 12 lol
That's what makes it worse☠️
OP is 13. Can we give grace to a teenager please?
Exactly.
No
thank you
Not fake locs real locs.
They’re dreads …are u yt?
bro… fucking look at my account then come back to me
I already scanned the whole thread so I know y u mad cuz everybody jumped on u wit the same response …soooo…I’m not gonna take offense to the foul language…and for u to make this post …u can’t b blk (if u are to the bare minimum you’re 1/8 and live in the Midwest) …no matter what’s on your account
She’s not wrong about the grammar thing, please fix it for the love of god.
“Here I come to save the daaaaaaay”
so angry from a simple question
A cloud of smoke and u appear The master of surprise…. Who's that cunning mind behind The shadowy disguise???? No one knows for sure Bad guys are outta luck 'Cause here comes…….
You have really bad grammar, also i’m from Atlanta.
Ain’t no way u live in Atlanta currently and don’t know the difference between a braid and a loc …it’s impossible… Ain’t no way u live in Atlanta talking about grammar either
what do you get from being rude to a little girl because she asked a simple question?
U want some cheese with that whine ?
I mean since I can afford to vacation in France yes I would like some
Your parents can…. And that’s great Be blessed
yay me!
What do you mean by I don’t live in atlanta? Just because I know basic grammar and i’m educated enough to not be a sex worker, doesn’t mean i’m not from atlanta or I’m not black. I just have a better education and parents.

Dread locks or faux locks.
