For teens with dreadlocks: have you ever been made fun of in school?
I was the first person to have dreadlocks in my high school. Also, back then, very few people knew what dreadlocks are (in my country). People in my school were very curious and had 1000 questions about them. I think it all depends on where you are from and what kind of school you are in, but no matter what, if you want dreadlocks, you should accept the possibility of people making fun of you and/or asking many questions. Kids and teens make fun of everything that is different, and I think this situations can make you a stronger person. I didn't have many friends in school, but I had many friends somewhere else, so I had the feeling of belonging to a group, it just wasn't at school (and not because of my dreads, but I had nothing in common with anyone in my school).
Is 5-6 Inches Of Hair Long Enough For Dreadlocks?
Do not "keep your hair freshly twisted", that leads to tension damage and baldness. Your hair is getting on for long enough to use a starter method like backcombing or twist and rip, and definitely long enough to start the free form/neglect method. Check out http://www.dreadlockssite.com and http://www.dreadlocktruth.com and learn about how long dreads take, and how to take care of them without damging them, or rosking dread rot caused by wax.

Thanks and really think don't put yes or no thanks agian.
Will it Be Hard to Get a Job With Dreadlocks?
It might be harder to find a job but not impossible. If you want to keep them then keep them, you can always cut them off later if you can't get a job. You get paid to work not to look like a princess :p
What are your thoughts on the black high school wrestler who was forced to have his dreads cut by a racist referee?
What are your thoughts on the black high school wrestler who was forced to have his dreads cut by a racist referee?This story is so empty of facts that must be present to tell the whole story. Read about it in the article below.The wrestler did not just have a binary choice.He had a trinary choice: head cover, hair, or forfeit.The wrestler had been warned of this at the start of the season, and knew the rules. At a previous match, a referee allowed him to use an illegal hair cover, so he knew it was an illegal head cover. That the prior referee did not enforce the rules does not mean the current referee cannot do so.Is the referee a racist for allegedly calling another person a racial slur at a party in 2016? Maybe, maybe not.For having the wrestler’s hair cut because it was either too long, or did not otherwise meet the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association rules?No.In this case it appears he was just enforcing the rules that as a referee he is charged with enforcing.Is the NJIAA racist in it’s guidelines? If it specifically bans dreadlocks, then maybe so.However, there’s more to the story. A lot more.Wrestler Andrew Johnson forced to cut dreadlocks to avoid losing N.J. high school match
Would having dreadlocks affect my chances as a teacher?
I have been considering locking my hair for a long while now, it is not something I'll have rushed into if I go through with it. The one thing that is holding me back is that I am worried that this will conflict with my possible future career - I am beginning training to become a primary school teacher (in the UK) beginning this year. Presuming I'd still have the dreads when I finished training (4 years time), I was wondering if anybody knew whether it would seriously affect my chances when applying for a job. I don't have a grungy appearance and the dreads would be thin, tidy and tight, and neatly tied back for work etc. I'm not covered in piercings etc. It would just be the hair making me look 'alternative' for want of a better word! So does anybody know if this is something that would hold me back? No opinions on dreadlocks please, especially negative ones, only respond if you know the answer to my question or at least can make a pretty informed guess. Anything else will be reported - I know a lot of people don't like dreads, I'm not looking to start a debate here, the world would be a pretty boring place if we all agreed wouldn't it!
Why are people with dreadlocks looked down upon?
I have worked in corporate America for a number of years. I have seen doctors, lawyers, secretaries and, yes, even supervisors wear dreadlocks with the corporate flair. Since there is a dress code, it is important that dreadlocks are kept neat, clean, orderly and away from the face so that it does not give the wrong impression. I have seen dreadlocks that were braided and gathered to the back (for a man), placed in an updo (for a woman) or worn down in crimps away from the face which would be good for the office environment. Try to avoid styles that you would wear at an informal gathering, such as on the beach or at a ballgame. Here are some links: http://nafrolinky.com/2010/11/dreadlocks... http://www.rarebraids.com/gallery_locs.h... http://thirstyroots.com/dreadlock-hairst... www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgzJeArFBz4 Also, you can check Youtube for tutorials for dreadlock office styles that fits in with the corporate image. Most of all to avoid being stereotyped, when doing an interview dress the part from your head down to your shoes, and always use grammatically correct English. If your overall appearance is crisp and professional, the interviewer will show more interest in your credentials.
