It was reddit. I am part of a few communities on there for various interests, usually have a great experience, but r/dreadlocks has been unwelcoming. I posted a picture of my first little lock baby and the comment I got was: "No. We're not doing this shit, knock it off." No explanation about what they were saying no to or anything, and then the account was gone so I couldn't even get a follow-up. Just weird vibes over there.
Wish google hadn’t changed the algorithm a few years back to favor businesses and news, we used to be top search in most terms, now most find us too late after being sucked into those other sites.
which one were you in?
You are allowed to have LOCKS we aren’t afraid to spell it correctly. I started the same way as you, (2nd time) 31 years ago. I too had 4 in the back till others showed up.
we love dreadlocks and aren’t afraid to call them dreadlocks. We love the organic let it happen lifestyle. My hair was straight too.
thank you so much I appreciate the support!

Heyo.
I'm only like a couple months into the freeform method. It was accidental, I stopped brushing because I hate my straight hair and it would at least get a little wavy the longer I went without brushing. They started appearing and I don't see a reason to brush them out. There's only like four locs back there, but I think they're adorable.
I am hoping this community is a little more welcoming than r/dreadlocks. I've posted there twice trying to get help and support and I think whenever I mention I have straight hair, they immediately dismiss me. So sorry I look different than the typical loc-er, but I hope I'm still allowed to have locs.
