You wouldn't class that as bowing? Openly declaring RASTAFARI 'may hinder your chances of getting a job' next to a clean cut clean face christian. Not just the hair...... InI NAH BOW out Long as I live I locks MUS grow out. - Natty Pressure

ZionChild. What is de significance of your hair? Yu sound like somebody who grew locks fo fashion dats why yu are not ready to face even de smallest percecution. Some Idrens would not cut even when they know de chances of employment is almost zero unlike yu who have more than 70% chances yet yu keep on complaining. Are yu in de trod or just a fashion dread? If yu to be a true testimony of RASTA livity be ready to face percecution. De beast is fighting against RASTA so be ready to fight not to bow

Fashion dread I wouldn't say that nor declare myself as that. I will just have to pray to JAh and see what his conclusion is. Bless

I work is in oil refineries and chemical producing plants tho not a welder Iself but work on jobs with upwards 2,000 persons doing many differents crafts. I see workers of all crafts, genders and races with locks and long hair who fit hardhat on their heads only some with locks sometime uses chinstrap to keep hat from falling when bending over but some with low cuts do the same depending on head shape i guess. I have longer locks and see some with locks longer than I so it not a big deal of having locks in that industry, jus keep the hair contained especially around round rotating devices. Shoulder length hair wont b much of a hassle if any at all but if the I doesnt want the hair then just do away with!

I would love nothing more than to have these locks for the rest of my life, but i am also of light complexion(Caucasian) so that is added scrutiny. But yeah, we will see...and couldn't I praise Jah the same as the next man, even if i was a baldhead(trimmed, clean cut) ? Thanks
