I can tell you as someone who is (mostly) white (I mean I'm part asian but definitely have passing privilege), that while dying one's hair a lot can damage it, white hair does not need to be put in locks or anything else for health reasons, ever. That is complete bullshit. No hair stylist would recommend that to white people. Honestly, I've bleached and dyed my hair a ton and all that I've ever been told to do is deep condition. A white person with dreads is complete appropriation, period.
y'all ain't hear it from me.
