Clip-In Dreadlocks
For a little over $100, Free People offered their customers “springtime pink” and “neutral tie dye” colored clip-in dreadlocks. Adorned with mini faux flowers, these “locs” resembled hardened cotton candy more than anything else. This is being touted as a cool fashion statement. But the chances of these being banned by schools, like real dreadlocks, cornrows and other hairstyles Black people rock? Slim to none.
After receiving some negative feedback, Free People decided to remove the item from their website.
