Well that would have def been helpful while i was there but now the issue is with the interview process. People still have theyre hang ups on dreads and even thought they cant put it on paper that they didnt hire me because of the dreads doesnt mean that isnt the real reason.

yeah when i asked to see where it said that in the employee packet they told me it fell under "disruptive hair styles" and cleanliness issues. They then proceeded to write me up for defiance. They werent the greatest hospital in the world but enjoyed my job and didnt take it any further. Idk im really on the border of temp or natural.

Ive never been to a single animal hospital where it was allowed. The last emergency vet I was at, I was told if i came to work with them i would be fired on the spot because they were "filthy looking". I could always just go all the way and do them the natural way and take my chances with who hires me. if they like it they do if they dont they dont, but i have children and the possibility of it holding me back from my career is what scares me.

thanks Hannah thats actually one of the videos ive watched a few times but the people i have talked to said the bubble wrap is a dumb idea and to just do it with a towel.
Thanks again

1st off theres no way in hell i would felt my own hair, like i said in the post
2nd You basically take a piece of wool roving and dread it like you would a piece of your own hair(palm roll) and once its sets theres a loop at the end that you slip your own hair through then braid the piece in. Just like synthetic but a different material and you can do it at home rather than go to a salon. Youtube has plenty of videos showing the method and ive been to numerous UK sites and this is what a lot of them are doing.
and 3rd im only considering this method because i can not have dreads while working at a hospital so when i do go back, i can simply unbraid the wool dread and my own hair is intact, no damage done.

First hi and hello to all the members, i'm new around here. That being said, i was wondering if anybody had used the wool roving/felting method. Its pretty big in the UK and have read lots about it but have yet to meet a single person who actually has wool dreads. My heart says yes but my brain says hey if its so fabulous wheres everybody at??? Im sold on dreads my only hang up is the method and after-math. I generaly work in uptight, communist run, color/creativity/indivudualism hatinganimal hospitals, so there may be a chance i may have to remove them in 6-12 months to return to my career. That is why i was considering the felting method(as in felted wool N O T felting my hair itself). Its cheaper than fake hair, feels better, looks better, i can do it myself and i can do all kinds of pretty colors that last months.Im looking at multicolored, single-ended wool dreads for now.I can even leave them in if desired.Please please please PLEASE pretty please, if you have any info comment or contact. =] any information is better than no information.
