Jhene Aiko has been rocking some faux locs, and I honestly do not have an opinion either way on this one, so I am going to let you guys decide right off the bat. Comment below and let us know if you are feeling Jhene Aiko’s faux locs. The thing about this style – which is different to about any other faux locs post we might put out there – is the idea that faux locs would not be the first choice for some of us for her.
The cool thing is, it isn’t our choice like with everything, but it’s still cool to see the opinions. Her hairstyle has brought up ideas of cultural appropriation because again, faux locs are seen as a traditionally ‘black style’, and she isn’t black. Is it that serious? Of course not; some people have gone as far as saying that she should stop trying to be black, but then others have said her dad is black, so why not? Again, not that serious.
I think if I had any general thought on her, it would not be about hair, it would just be the level of exposure she has been afforded because of the way she looks in comparison to many of the black women on the R&B scene.
For example, she was on the Ellen show singing her very popular song that Ellen says she loves very much. But if it were Keyshia Cole, would she have been on the show so quickly making her debut? But that’s another blog!
In other news, she has been boo’ed up lately with Dot Tha Genius, with speculations of it getting pretty official. He looks so much older than her, but they both talk about each other quite often through social media. Again, that’s another blog.
So lets hear it, comment and let us know if you love the locs or hate them?

Tunisha Rice says
Not @ all. . Some black individuals with a splash of any color would have been adorable
thedramaofhair says
1. The lighting of picture is what is making her look like that, I know y’all heard of filters right?
2. She is mixed, her father is black, but why should it really matter what her race is? it’s hair, I thought it was different and gives her an edge to her usual soft look, nothing wrong with playing with around with our looks as women…
Beautiiful Camille Berry says
O.o

Pamela Traeye says
I don’t like these. I mean these specific ones. They look odd
Aisha Kanneh says
Nope. It’s fugly on her kind.
Shaniqua says
What exactly is her kind? Mixed women? Light skinned women? Petite women? Singers? You sound ugly.
Libby says
You sound really ignorant saying that. Most of the black people here in America is mixed anyway. it doesn’t matter what she looks like, she doesn’t need brown skin to wear faux locks.
Carmen Carmilla says
It’s a no
Shaniqua says
I’m sorry, but the whole tone of this post is disdainful. Emily, I don’t know what issue you personally have with Jhene, but it’s obvious. She’s not black, when half of her chromosome comes from a black man? So, what she should only claim her Asian ancestry? Or only claim to be of mixed heritage, never taking inspiration from either of her parents? And your summation that she’s been given the opportunities she has because of her looks is ridiculous. As a Jhene Aiko fan, I can tell you she’s been trying to break into the industry for over 10 years. Literally more than a decade. But because she has a popular single out now, it must have been instant success, right? Please take every single seat you can.
Chrismar Gertrude Richard says
Stunninnnng
Bri TrellesMommy Walker says
Look like giant worms…i personally dont like that hair do for her, shes to pretty for that
Libby says
I think her locs are cool. She doesn’t have to have brown skin to wear them, she is fine the way she is.
Unknown says
Jhene is Japanese and Black
Unknown says
if it was done in another color and neater . She can definitely pull them off.
