Does a man need a bonnet to upkeep his dreads/locs ?

[Fani Willis fan]

Whats up with all these nikkas wearing bonnets outside ? in the 2000s-2010s nikkas were wearing du rags and the shyt worked perfectly fine

Am I missing something ?

can a bonnet breh explain the ideology behind it, I cant be seen with a dude wearing a bonnet.

I rock silk scarves at work and to sleep in.

Never seen any dudes with bonnets.

Closest to them would be the caps Rastas wear, but I forgot what they're called.​

Silk/satin du rags you can get silk/satin pillow cases. Bonnets for zesty cats and women

I tried using a bonnet but I found them uncomfortable and goofy looking. Use a satin scarf or Durag instead, they even got rags specifically for longer hair/locs

You don't have problems waking up with the silk scarf off? My durag was never on when I woke up. I wore a bonnet, but that shyt don't work either.

Prefer durags myself. Dont got dreads, but I got an afro

Like the look of a durag better, but I wouldn't call a breh gay for wearing a bonnet. Taking care of your hair can never be zesty

Bonnets are better

Bonnets are better

How so, when I see nikkas take off their bonnet they still have the same fuzzy dreads and twists.

Crazy how all of a sudden its okay for men to rock bonnets because social media said it was okay, whereas no other time in history was this shyt acceptable.

Silk caps, especially if you’re free forming.

i think the purpose of bonnets is to prevent your hair from breakage when it rubs against stuff. i also thought that is what having your hair locd up does (cuz the hair is embedded anyway) so it seems like it's not necessary

Mine are Black, red, and green and tied like a bandanna while at work to keep them out of my face, like the above when sleeping.​

Don’t need one but it’s alot more practical past a certain length

Wearing them outside and on camera is very odd
