Dreadlocks are dope.
Despite the fact that dreadlocks are known to have strong African roots, they’re still seen as the hairstyle of irresponsible people. Here are some of the struggles that Nigerian ‘locheads’ go through.
1. People keep asking you if you smoke ‘igbo’
Because in their minds, everyone who has dreadlocks smokes weed.

4. You practically dread meeting your partner’s parents because you don’t know what their reaction to your hair would be like

5. And it’s just so hard to find a good loctician
The cheap ones will damage your hair, and the professionals are really expensive.
