My locks haven't been cut in 12 years. They grow almost like nature intended. ( no dreads for this white-boy)
Thanks goodness I only have to deal with a few narrow-minded folks who don't know any better due to age or conditioning. Those like this close to me have all given up trying now that their predictions that long hair would limit my success in life have been disproven. It's an inside family joke that a conditon in a certain relative's Will maybe a haircut before I get any of the estate.
