Loc'd and loaded with Akinola Davies Jnr
Locs, dreads, dreadlocks, whatever you call them it’s difficult to find a more divisive hair style in black British culture. From the historic roots stemming back to slavery or Rastafari culture to the more modern day work place “beauty standards” and appropriation, we want to talk about it all. Joining Chi and Bas on our last themed episode of the season, is film maker Akinola Davies Jnr, who shares his long term commitment to locs and we ask him all the questions we've had since the first episode. Is the term “dreadlocks” offensive? Is it okay for non-black people to don the style? What made you decide to wear your hair in this way? What’s the process that goes into creating and maintaining your locs and is it really anyone's business?
