Are dreads overrated and oversaturated? Are curls the best hairstyle for Blacks?

ngl earlier I was thinking of getting dreads but now that I think about it, it's been a trend for the last 2 years and now everyone and their mom is getting them. Now obviously a hairstyle that looks good won't all of sudden become u cooked bc every one has it but u need to stand out if u rlly want to slay tbh, so I was thinking maybe something like the pictures would be more ideal because although they droop like dreads they look completely different and curly hair naturally gives off less of a "thug" type of vibe and since I'm gymmaxing I'll still look masc so idk I'm thinking getting long curls is most ideal but lmk ur thoughts

curls always has mogged. Dreads is fake curls basically. You need to have healthy hair/ healthy genes to have curly hair.

Plus curls are sign of youth, they go away or not as healthy when older

Dreads is your best option. When I had my dreads a very long ago they would hide my face well when I wanted them too.
