Funny, the women in my life thought he was disgusting. He was cited as an example of someone who had dreadlocks becuase he nevere bothered to brush or wash his hair. They hated him although they gushed over all of the others.
I work in corporate america and have worked in it for the last 10 yrs. I am in the IT field. I have had no problem gaining employment, I am a woman who is 32 yrs of age. Dredlocks is like any other hairstyle if you do not take care of it, wash and maintain it your hair will be dirty. In addition, I have corn rows in my hair as well I know some individuals on this forum called them tasteless,not all women can be endowed with non( to quote Don Imus nappy hair).

I, too, have locks. Mine are now past shoulder length, pretty slender in diameter and I wear them curled or crinkly (set on rollers or overnight in braids) to work. I occasionally get the curious look in the (corporate) workplace, but I've never heard any negative comments at my current employer. Once or twice, people have been bold enough to grab a handful of my hair and make comments about how "cool" or "different" they are.
I've never seen the combination of locks and cornrows. How did you manage that?
As an afterthought, I must say that I have never seen locks that look good on a non-black person or someone lacking naturally curly, kinky hair. The look and the process itself has much to do with a texture that naturally supports it without using yucky stuff like adhesives, glues and gels that many other races do when mimicking the style. No offense intended.

I saw a white guy at Best Buy once who had really nice looking locks. It is true though that the majority of bad locks will be on non-black people. Because their hair doesn't have the "hold" that ours does, their dreads require more maintenance.
Did you say the word "non-black" because I think that is a racist term...

That's true. I don't know how anybody can stand them, though. I had cornrows done once on vacation and had to change my mind about the style I initially chose because I got a headache immediately.

Well, I think cornrows are attractive on a black woman. However, on a white woman, with the scalp exposed and all, they look like they're having some kind of terrible disease. Just not a good look at all for whiteys.

I do like them on black women. It's true, they didn't look all that great on me, but my point was they hurt!

Most people will have a headache when they get cornrows for the first time. Most people will have a very itchy scalp when they're starting out dreadlocks. It's all about your head having to adjust to your new style. We made fun of my older brother when he got his hair braided for this first time. He would hold his head in weird positions to stop the aching. Now, he feels nothing at all when his hair gets done.
Did you just say "black woman"? I'm pretty sure the moderators dislike racial comments.
