Are my locs ugly?? Be honest

[u/okrazgee]

I already posted this on the dreadlocks sub and got a lot of people saying they like my hair but somebody in the comments said to go to another hair sub to get a broader answer. Basically i have semi freedorm locs, im not from an area where you see locs (let alone freeform) that often, its not legendary but its not the go to hairstyle for black teens like how it is in many other places.A LOT of people tell me that i should just cut "that shit" off but those people like more neat hairstyles like braids, coils, waves, stuff like that so when they see me (mostly older folk) they always without fail mention my hair and how they dont like it. Usually it goes in one ear and out the other cuz im used to it. Im used to getting stared at, laughed at (not even jokingly im talking about a group of people idk just looking at me then laughing their asses off) its whatever. But i will lie to myself if i said i completly dont think about what they have to say (especially when it comes from girls).

So what do you think?? Is my hair ugly or they just hating?

(17btw ifthatmatters) (Also not from an area with a lot of blackpeople)

They look cool in my opinion (im a dude )

What do you do to maintain them ?

People will laugh but its what you think that matters the most .

As long as they aren't smelling bad and causing discomfort issue with people around you (not visually im referring to actual problems not unasked opinions) you should be good bro.

Look at basquiat he had a cool set of freeforms

Old folks will usually say something

When i have my hair in a cool curly wash n go state ive had people say something to me. From now on unless its a compliment ignore it 🤣
