hallo, I'm luke.
I really want to grow dreads but my school (tecnicly a christian school)
restricts the length and style of our hair. I intend to try and get written
permission from my headmaster and was wondering if anyone knoe any
stuff in the bible or similer that condones dreads that I could use to
strengthen my argument
thanx

I can't believe an employer would restrict the length of your hair just because it's a religious school!  That's appauling!

"Jesus Christ had dreads, so shake 'em"

Well maybe he didn't have dreads, but he most definetly had long hair. I used to go to catholic school, and they followed this rule strictly. Use all the biblical references to get permission. Lol

I've heard a lot of people say that John the Baptist had dreads, but I've never been able to find it in the bible.

Getting dreads is a sign of giving up  vanity...thats positive...right?
