The one on the left has half her hair in dreadlocks.
I guess the shutter could have blurred it to look exactly like dreadlocks, but it looks pretty definitive to me
If anything, it's caked in mud.
Could be. I tried a reverse image search to find more context, and didn't find anything but posts like this with no citations, starting from 2017.
I'm not convinced it's real.
Believe it or not deadlocks aren't indigenous to modern era afor Americans
Did I say it was? My point was that it would be very odd in 1945 Japan
Jfc. Nevermind, I'm not getting anywhere in this thread. I guess this isn't a community for discussion, just neat pictures.
I thought the same thing tbh, but upon zooming in I think it may just be a combo of shadows/sunlight and a shitty 1945 camera. Some of the "dreads" look kinda like normal hair towards the tips.
