Only stinky monkey people dread their hair! (The Stigma Behind Dread Locks)

That's right if you dread your hair well.. YOU my friend smell like a monkey because you don't ever wash ! You're scruffy and you are such a hippy you take mind altering drugs and hug trees!

Not quite :) . I don't have dreads so maybe I can't speak on this topic, (although I have dreaded hair before) but I believe that the prejudice toward those who do has gone too far. People who have dreadlocks are not a bunch of pychodelic beings! They simply like the style, or think it is more natural. I personally have always loved the look of dreaded hair, I think it is beautiful and very sexy.

The job situation believe it or not sounds pretty slim for those with dreads. I have read some horror stories about getting fired, or not hired even with good qualifications because people seem to assume that they are unclean or rebellious. Should anyone be refused from a job because they don't do their hair the same as another person I think not, but obviously it's more then just dreaded hair. The big problem this all ties into is a lack of open mindedness. Here is a link with some of the stories I read: http://www.naani.com/index.html?lang=en-us&target=d109.html

Myths about dreadlocks need to be debunked! Dreads take maintenance just like any hair, in fact they take quite a lot of time to clean and maintain. They are clean and natural and they are beautiful. People need to stop the judging, we need more variety in the work place as it is. People should be pleased to see something unique in the public, unfortunately I can't force anyone into that. I just wish people would open their minds to new things.

Anyway that's my 2 cents.
