I've had short hair my whole life and i've been wanting dreads for awhile but something i hear is that i shouldn't because it's appropriating. Webcan i get dreads as a mexican? Even if it wasn't, people shouldn't be policing others dreadlocks.

Webdreadlocks, hairstyle consisting of ropelike strands of knotted hair formed by methods including twisting, backcombing, palm rolling, and braiding, or by allowing hair. Dreadlocks are part of many cultures and mexican culture is one of them. Everyone's hair locks up naturally if you leave it alone.
