I think it's cool that males are embracing who they are, by adding simple gold or silver metal cuffs to their hairstyle. Roaming the streets, I often see it on hairstyles such as French braids, dreads or wicks which is also a form of dreads, but thick and fuller.
American actor/rapper Jaden Smith before he cut his dreads off, he often worn the metal cuffs in his hair.

For some it's a cultural statement and for others it's just fashion. We all get inspired by some sort of culture until we eventually create our own.
My Entry....
This type of dress is a product and a body supplement. Metal cuffs are sold in many different stores all around the world. Mostly your general beauty supply store. The cultural component I can connect this dress to is ideology and technology. Wearing metal cuffs in you hair doesn't necessarily mean it has a deeper meaning, although it is associated with African culture. Meatal cuffs are a trend for hairstyles which can simply be an interest for men to wear. Technology allows us to connect to each other and get inspired by one another through social media. The cultural mechanism I can connect this dress to is art & aesthetics because it's shows human expression.
