    why don't you just explain that they are a religious statement/thing/whatever they are to you. they can't discriminate against you because your hair reflects your religion, unless it's a (an unfounded) health concern.

    Anything with a steady paycheck at this point. I was laid off from my warehouse job last year when the crunch hit and haven't found permanent work since..

    :nopity:

    Hakuna matata! I'm still standing.

    That's a good point! Thanks.

    i had a bar job, but frankly theyd take anyone, and it was a music venue and most of the other bar staff had multicoloured hair and/or tonnes of metal in their faces =]

    the interview i had the other day was just a shelf-stacking job, but i had my dreads pulled back and put them in a bun [cause it was quite hot] and then i wore my purdy new headband, just to prettify myself =]

    so yeah.. maybe go for bar work, or waiting tables? get a decent headband/wrap/tam/whatever you prefer, because if you wore one to an interview, you could say that you wouldnt mind wearing them tied back for work etc, so the employer would think 'hmmmmmm, hes thought this one through'

    good for you on taking the nazarite vow. if you are serious about the vow jah will provide. i am certain you will find something.

    i agree with what mandy said though.

    I do pull them back for interviews, but they still look messy. I have no bartending experience, and I would prefer to avoid alcohol altogether.

    Thanks. I have faith he will provide, he always does. :)

    In a nutshell?

    • No cutting of the hair
    • Abstain from alcohol

    I have taken Samsons' vow- which does not include the corpse clause, or cutting of the beard. I am permitted to cut my hair once per year according to tradition.

    I haven't taken the oath of Sampson as I love to drink beer, but I regularly use that as a comparison when ignorant "religious" people blow me shit or make snide comments on my hair. I just say, I'm like sampson...no one says a word beyond that.

    Well delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair,
    She had good looks, God knows, and coal black hair,
    Delilah she gained old samsons mind.
    When first he saw this woman, you know he couldnt believe his mind.

    Delilah she climbed up on samsons knee,
    Said tell me where your strength lies if you please.
    She spoke so kind and she talked so fair,
    Well samson said, delilah cut off my hair.

    You can shave my head, clean as my hand
    And my strength will become as natural as any old man.

    If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way,
    I would tear this old building down.
