Pet Peeve #7: Grown men with gray hair and braids.



I understand for some people this may be difficult to believe, but braids are not for everyone. With a lot of things in life, people feel qualified to do certain things just because they can and not because they are appropriate for them. If you can grow your hair, that is great, but braids are not an option for everyone. If you are a male with gray hair that is long, braids are not an option for you. Being of an older age with gray hair and braids is just not a good look. When you get a certain age, you grow up mentally and in your appearance. Instead of trying to look young, you look foolish. Grow up. Stop trying to hold on to your youth. Let your son or grandson rock the braids. Please get a hair cut. Do not dye your hair, but just visit the closest barbershop. STOP IT! Ugh!

  1. Personally, I think Willie Nelson still looks good with his long, partially gray braids.

  6. People these days always have opinions about what others should do and how others should look. Mind yo business!! That's what's wrong with the world today ... other people tryna tell the next person how to live, how to dress, what to wear, what's age appropriate. When those people start paying my bills, then I'll listen. Until then PLEASE STFU, MIND YO BUSINESS AND WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF!!

  7. That is just not true. Sorry you don't know what you're talking about. I've known plenty of older than me men with grey and salt and pepper braids and dreads.

  8. You must not come from a line of warriors, but from those who were conquered. Keep your pet peeves.
    We'll keep our traditions.
