I agree with you about the whole cultural appropriation thing. I too think it's mostly Americans who see dreadlocks on white people as cultural appropriation. They just have a really different mindset than us here in Europe. I feel that in Europe the various cultures are closer together than in America. We do everything as one and do not try to make a difference based on your origin. My boyfriend is African and has dreadlocks but he does not think like that at all about dreads and cultural appropriation. Neither do the other people I know that have dreads. They simply see it as something beautiful for everyone.
Yeah, it's pretty awful in the US. People even call those wanting complete equality racists. It's silly. I once had a girl from my high school message me after graduation (and cutting ties with her) saying that I was racist for saying I am Native American and that I have universal vitiligo (which are both true). She basically said that only Black people can have vitiligo and that I was just trying to be edgy. Racism is such a serious problem here, but I feel like it's only gotten worse.
+Kexylea yup. Have to agree. I can't scroll down a video without seeing someone bring up the whole "white people shouldn't have dreads" discussion. It's literally under almost every video.
I'm american and I think dreadlocks are beautiful on anyone , I've thought about getting them but my hair isn't at the full length I want them at
+kitty brofist Agreed. Of you want to look a certain way to feel happy, do it. Have you thought about getting synthetic or wool dreads? They even have some really nice dread wigs on etsy now.
Kexylea yeah But I might just wait and dread my natural hair
To those that say dreadlocks are cultural appropriation; they're not. Hair itself, no matter what the texture is, no matter if you have melanin in your skin or not, hair itself tangles and mattes after not combing or brushing it for a long period of time. That's just how hair works! It's so insane that people actually think it's strictly a cultural thing. It's not! It's a hairstyle! It's like saying only Punks/Punx can have colorful hair & Mohawks! No! Anyone can if they like it! Cultural appropriation is wearing an indigenous headdress, indigenous attire as a "fashion trend" when you're not even indigenous, when you don't even have native blood in your bloodline. Cultural appropriation is wearing a bindi as a fashion statement, claiming its "hippie/boho" when it really is a part of the Hindu culture. That's cultural appropriation. Not dreadlocks. Wear your hair how you want to, fuck what people think. Do you boo. ✌🏾️
totally agree! :)
I'm getting dreads later today, and I've had little to none encouragement over getting them. I have convinced my grandma to let me try them for 6 weeks and see how they look. I have butt length layered hair so I'm excited to see how they turn out, you are an inspiration for me to get them :) thanks.
I love your style Elsie, you suit dreads so much! I've considered getting them but I don't think I'm brave enough
Love this so much Elise you are amazing! I'm getting dreads today :-)
HOW ARE THEY A YEAR LATER?
You are such a lovely person! I love your videos and your style
Elise. Your hair is gorgeous in this video. Loving your style!
I love that my dad is actually smart enough that he looked them up and figured out that they aren't nasty if taken care of ! I can't wait to get my dreads !!! I love you Elise , and also your dreads ;)

This is a great video! X
The videos linked in the description aren't working for me. T^T
I think your dreads are great Elise! your accent is beautiful, where are you from?
I am thinking about getting dreadlocks but I don't know how my parents will react. I am too afraid to tell them. I also really love your dreads.
Would you ever get your dreads professionally re done ?
I ask my dad why he won't let me and he just says because. so should I just do it anyway
What lip color are you wearing? Love your look in this video!
How do you tie your dreads without a Piece of cloth?? because i have dreads and its really hard for me to tie them up
Can you show how you style your dreads up?
that is a gorgeous shirt :)
How much did it cost for you to get your dreads done
Hi Elise :)
You get a lot of hate for the dreads, BUT you also get a ton of L O V E for your dreadlocks.
I love yooooooooooou!
how much did your dreads cost?
I don't think dreadlocks are "cultural appropriation", seeing as unbrushed hair naturally will become dreadlocks at some point, whether you're black or white.
Elise what is the music pleaseeeee
I just turned 21 what means that I do not need permission, but my granny (I live with her and my grandad) would never be okay with me getting dreads - they would never be okay with me doing anything with my hair (african hair, not an afro tho). :/ I'm thinking about getting dreads, but I am not really ready for people talking sh*t again and again. Gosh. I'm just tired of stupidity at the moment. x.x
I totally agree with what you said about cultural appropriation
I don't have dreads, but I have dealt with greasy hair like you were asking about. How I improved things was to go an extra day between washing (wear it up in a bun or wear a hat if you need to hide the grease). After a few times my hair got used to it and started producing less excess oil. Then I went even one day longer without washing and so on until I could go 6-7 days and my hair still looked just fine. Your hair will adjust to the new wash schedule and start to produce only the amount of oil needed. Hope that helps :)
+Whitney sews has it right. I too dealt with greasy hair and did as she has described when my hair was smooth. My dreads are 3.5 months old now and to be completely honest, I have no issues with greasy scalp whatsoever. It is actually very dry, so I end up adding a little oil now that they are locking at the root. Dreads aren't for everyone, but to the person who wants them for themselves, they are a great choice. Best of luck! 😊
+Whitney Sews thank you! I've been thinking about trying this for a while, I'm a bit scared about the transition period but I think I'm going to do it now!
+Haiku Hiaku thank you :) I'm glad to hear that dreads can work on hair like mine!
what method do people recommend for dreadlocks? I'm currently trying the natural method.. it's been about 3/4 months since I stopped using conditioner, switched shampoo, stopped brushing and only wash my hair 3 times a week at most, and they're really taking such a long time to form. I have naturally straight and somewhat fine hair. Although I love the texture my hair now has, it's just just more mess than dread. I think I have about 8 tiny tiny dreads that have actually formed now. ☮
Probably the twist and rip since I see it's the most common method used by people who couldn't or didn't want to do it naturally. When I was getting started I didn't wash for like two weeks and I've heard from others who just stopped washing their hair completely or just went a couple months w/o washing until they saw progress or were comfortable enough to do so. I'd probably say try once a week to see if you see any progress.
+GoldieLocks Second thanks so much for the advice :) I'll try this and hopefully it will work better! if not I'll see if I can find someone who can help me out!
+Jenny Maskell no problem. Good luck on your journey
i love dreads my family dont let me to have them so i make them without their permision :D
Hey - was für ein Zufall! ich habe auch mal ein Video darüber gemacht, wie man seine Eltern überzeugen kann endlich Dreadlocks zu bekommen. Allerdings war das auf Deutsch :D Liebe Grüße von Shantisfaction aus Germany
you're so beautiful!
Hi Elise, I was wondering what you think about the cultural appropriation topic. I know you made a video about it before but I' ve been reading some articles lately that made me rethink.For example they were saying that Dreads weren't for white people, cause they were used as a sing in the black civil rights movement, and they called it disrespectful of whites to "misuse" this sign. Another thing was that "Dreadlocks" actually comes from the word dreadful, because that's what the white people called the black slaves knotted up hair. The reason it was knottted up, was the bad condition the Black slaves had to live in while being transported to the USA.These two things made me overthink my opinion (I think there is plenty of other Information to be found on the Internet). Eventhough some of the Black People against "white Dreads" might just be racist, I think there is still some who have good reasons for it. I hope I was able to explain the arguments against it well :D.I'm not meaning to offend, I think your dreadlocks look amazing and I'm considering to get Dreads too (I'm white btw), I'm just curious about your opinion. And as you asked in your last Video way we watch your Videos: I think you are an inspiring Person and you bring lots of positive energy to my life
A lot of white people had dreads to such as the celts and other races like the Egyptians ☺️ so a lot of races had them in the past 😊
Je suis française. Je comprends rien. Mais c'est cool ! ^^
how can i get dreads
It just depends on what you want to do. Let it happen naturally, crochet, backcomb, synthetic or wool braided or knotted in, extensions. Definitely check out online different textures and ways you can accomplish the exact look or feel you are wanting. That's what I did and it definitely helped me choose to get double ended woolies instead of letting my hair dread itself back up.
+Kexylea thanks
im going to try the natural way
Ladon Carter Okie, good luck! 😺
I'm forming my dreads with the neglect method! Check out my channel for videos on how I got started if you're interested. Subscribe if you like ;)
