Had dreads when I got my degree. Had dreads when I got my honors. Had dreads when I got my masters. Had dreads when I hired white people to work in my company.

On the other hand if you don't want to cut your dreads, you could start your own company. That way NO one can tell you what to do.

I'll never cut my hair to build someone else's dream

Had dreads when a tv station hired me as an intern. Had dreads when our local CBS hired me. Had dreads when the White House and state department invited me me to cover the inaugural ball. Im using my second degree and still have dreads working as a Psychotherapist.

As a black man with dreads, he is 100% correct. This is why I choose to be self-employed. Whoever signs your paychecks, makes the rules. Just how it is.

Now we are seeing black men with locs as Doctors, Lawyers, CEOs! Stop playing. Our hair is coming through and opening doors!!

Black woman with locs here. This is the easiest and cheapest way for my hair to grow. A wig should not be required, a weave should not be required, a perm should not be required, a flat iron should not be required
-
Cutting your hair for money and the approval and acceptance of others sounds like everything a true man stands against.
-
Go into tech fellow black men. Most forward companies don't give a shit if your hair is purple. It's your mind that they need, not a look or brand.

“If you want to move up, you gotta bend over and…” is basically what he’s saying.

My dad used to say the same thing. I proved it wrong I got into my industry and worked my way all the way to the top first with an curly fro, then braids, ponytail all the way to dreads. I have sat in board rooms in some of the top corporations in my industry. I have hired and fired white, black and brown people with these dreads. If you're good at what you do and you know your stuff you can accomplish anything with your dreads.

This is one of the main reasons I got a trade. Because when something goes wrong with someone's electricity they don't care what you look like they only want to know if you can fix it or not.

As a woman with locs I am in a “high ranking” career and I still get the respect that my yt counterparts receive. I refuse to put some silky straight hair hat on my head for some “respect”.

Got dreads 9 months ago. It has greatly contributed to self confidence and overall happiness. Im not cutting them for a goddamn thing
-
Man I listened to a guy telling me this shit and cut my hair. Got in the program to find almost everyone had long hair. Pissed me off so bad. I just thought I'd add that this happened over 20yrs ago. Dont want folks to get to carried away about it, I learned a few lessons from it indeed so thank you all for the insight.

White men have the right to have whatever requirements for THEIR business. Black men start your OWN business.

22 years ago my ex-husband's job told him if he didn't cut his hair they would have to let him go. It was construction and he was only 18! He needed the job so he asked me to cut his locs off for him. His locs were majestic! He looked like he had a lion's mane. It devastated him but he wanted to provide for the family. 3 months later they still laid him off. He started a new set but they just didn't have the power of the first set.

As a mexican and white man that's had dreads before. Don't let anyone tell you how to dress or style yourself.. if you want dreads, rock them.. you wanna be clean cut, rock it. Be your own man and don't let another dictate the way you present yourself Kings. 😎
