Had to comb out dread'z

This job Im trying to get said I couldn't have them cause it's against their policy it's at a resort. The chef tried to fight for me to keep them but there was nothing he could do. So I've been spending the last four days combing them out. Make'z almost no sense my hair waz way neater and calm dreaded then it is all curly and everywhere. But oh well I started them back combed and had them for about 8month'z. Joke'z on them though cause I'm going to start my next set natural neglect as soon as I get the job =]. So in part wasn't all bad I'm starting my new set of dreads the right way this time with lots of patiences. Back combed first set cause I waz in a hurry for dreads but found out it isn't a one day thing and they taught me to just relax and slow down

ask to see the polocy in writting get the exact w=ording and if its not specific they cant do shit

extreme hairstyles dont cut it being that they have religios conontsations and are widely accepted in many cultures

the polocy has to explicitly refer to dreadlocks, and be clear on what is and is not acceptable

u totaly could have fought it if u requested the cocumentation and submitted a written letter on why your felt an axception was in order if they did explicitly refer to dreads.

Glad that you want to start over and go natural... but I would do as SE suggested by getting them to show you where in their policy it says that dreadlocks are not accepted. Otherwise what good will it be to grow them out when it's against their rules to begin with? That is if you still want a job.

good to hear i would ask to see the polocy in writting tho right away

you know, i told my job about getting dreads for like 2 months before i did it. but when i came in with em they freaked out! but i told my boss that if they tried to say i had to take em out that i could get a suit for reverse race discrimination because we have an african american man with dreads andhisaren't a problem. but since dreads aren't normally looked at as a "white" hairstyle they were trying to treat me differently. needless to say, as soon as i mentioned racial discrimination they dropped the whole thing and let me and my dreads be! lol
