    Default I HAVE to cut my hair.... :(hi

    I just started at a new club. The manager that ran me through orientation said my dreads might be a problem w/ the owner or GM. In all fairness, I actually thought it would probably be my thicker weight that would nbe the prob. No low & behold it would be my hair. There are other members on this site that can vouch for me having very nice, clean maintained dreads. In fact one of the bartenders that I know OTC said "No, your dreads are your thing -you shouldn't cut them." I really don't wanna cut them out -I looked forward to keeping them & watching them turn grey as I continue to get older. In fact, most of the time -many Native Americans don't cut their hair at all. But I understand this is something I guess I'm going to have to do. At least I guess I can hold on to them & have the ability to be able to have them sown back in. Whether I like it or not -here's to new beginnings, I guess....

    This is what I look like w/ my dreads...

    If I'm going to be forced to cut my hair so I can survive & eat, dammit -then at least I still try to look hot. I won't be happy -but I'll still be hot (plus I'll hoard my dreads to be sown back in for a different day) -that'll show 'em!! If I must go short then I was thinking that I would follow the i=indie queen, Shanynn Sossamon< 's example. This computer is acting weird now. So google her.

    I know who shannon is.
    You're very pretty. Are you sure you HAVE to cut your hair or was he just talking that it might be a problem?
    Maybe you can wait it out and see if it becomes a problem?

    Honestly, when I pictured dreads, yours are not at all what I expected. They look good. Try talking them into it, wear your hair exactly like you've got it in those photos and let them see? Maybe just up somehow? It really seems like a shame, I would be quite upset too.

    would they fit under a wig? Diversity is beauty though in my opinion.

    DO NOT cut your hair if it isn't something you want to do. Hair, to some, is a form of security (mine is!). I'd have a talk w/ the GM about it first. Convince them to give you two weeks to rock them in the club. If you prove to them you're doing well with the dreads, most likely they'll let you keep them.

    I think it's best not to cut your hair, at least not for the club, what if that club didn't work out for some reason? I think it's unreasonable for them to expect you to make that change when you will have to wig it up to cover your newly shaved head anyway! Remember how long it took to grow it?!

    Yep, agreed!^ NO, PLEASE. DO NOT. Cut your hair!!! F* that! That's an extreme thing to ask someone, besides, it sounds like they don't even know what they're talking about!
    I would at a place, they were always bitching about my hair (mgmnt) However, the men loved it so..

    Agreed, you're beautiful!! I could understand if it was the only club in town and you HAD to work there, but otherwise I'd agree with everyone else, don't cut your hair!! At least let the GM see how gorgeous your dreads look on you before you go ahead and do it. There must be some other club you can work at and keep them? i think they look great!!

    Wow yeah you are hot! I totally pictured you to look completley different when I've read you say you have dreadlocks. I agree, what if you don't like the club o you don't make money because you don't feel confident because your hair is gone because you know confidence is a major part of if you make money?! Can you take them out without cutting your hair short? Sorry I know nothing about deads except I fucked a hot guitar player who had em years ago.

    I worked with a woman who had dreads. She'd pull them up into a pony tail or a bun, and then put a drawstring wig (ponytail wig) over it and it was all good with management.

    You can do all sorts of things with pulling your hair back and even doing 3/4 wig and the nice part is that our dreads will hold the clips really tight

    So don't worry about it! You won't need to cut your hair at all.

    There's all sorts of length and styles. I recommend you go with something that has at least a slight wave because with the super straight ones, I've noticed that you have to keep brushing them often throughout the night because they get a little natty. But a little bit of disorder with a wavy or curly one is all good.

    Here's an example though you can go longer with less curl:


    I've even seen them sold at CVS's and walgreens for around $20, but you can get them cheaper at a wig store for maybe 9-14 depending on what's on sale.
    Ungoogle yourself:

    Normally I dislike dreads (especially on girls) but your look so hot with them, I might have to reconsider my opinions. Ask the manager/GM what he thinks before you do it.

    I guess my thoughts are that you're hot enough to not have to chop your dreads off. Seriously. Maybe make a deal with them that if you don't make killer money, you'll cut your hair. (and then you can always just not work at that specific club if you end up deciding you don't want to keep up your half of the deal)

    Noooooooo, don't cut them!!! It won't be worth it! I'm echoing the wig/ponytail/show the managers that you're a rockin' top earner with them anyway options.

    ( & as a side note, I'm kind of sad that a lot of people heard dreads and automatically went to the "dirty hippie" stereotype in their head. Def not the people who should be poster children for the style choice.. locs can be very neat, very maintained, etc, as is pictured)

    Don't do it! What if they're the source of your awesomeness? You could end up like Sampson when his hair was cut. The universe will be out of balance, chaos will reign, puppies and kittens will die.

    Seriously though, they seem to be such a big part of who you are. They're something that you always seemed to be so proud of. I think that if you do it, it will be like cutting an arm off or something. I think that you'll really regret it, and may become severely depressed over it.

    1. You're beautiful!

    2. You have some of the nicest dreads I've ever seen.

    3. You just started at this club, maybe in a month you'll hate it and go to a dif club. Don't make permanent decisions for a temporary job. You said you wanted to watch your dreads turn grey, don't let this club take that away from you.

    brandi, you obviously pull off dreads well, but on another note, from pictures from the past your have gorrrrrrrggeeeouussss hair in its natural state too...maybe it can be like turning over a new leaf, and it wouldnt be that bad, BUT if you really dont want to part with them i wouldnt, because they go well with yourlook, and they are your signature thing, and you pull them off well. i think either way youll be fine, you know youre a talented dancer anyway and youll do fine either way, but change isnt always a bad thing

    Well, I kept them tied up in a very large, tight bun on Thursday & nothing was said. But then again the guy that ran me through orientation wasn't there that night -so I'm going to try the same thing tonight & see if it goes ok. Fingers crossed. Also thanks, for the idea, Fiendish! I would have never thought of a pony tail wig thingie on my own. I know that my dreads are too long to fit under a regular wig (they come down to my lower back), but hopefully they could still work out w/ one of those ponytail wigs so that I would have more options to try.

    & your right, babylove -not all change is bad. This could possibly go either way. I guess we'll just have to wait & see. Even if I am forced to cut them in the end, I know that I can still make the best of it & maintain a positive attitude (although, there would have to still prob be a drink in my hand while undergoing the process -haha!). I've think I've narrowed down a couple hairstyles I'd be willing to work w/ if needed be.

    Fingers crossed, girls! And thanx for all your support!

    Um yes keyword being "contractor" as in the club does not have to sign a contract with anybody they choose not to? They can come up with any reason they want or none at all.

    I think your dreads are beautiful! Don't cut them.

    Can you work for another club with them?
