Yeah it is pretty distressing. My boyfriend is an engineer and he had been growing dreads for 5 yrs....Lawd knows I loved those things but he didn't get his first job until he wacked them off. His sister and I made sure his locks where "tight" and he kept them looking nice anyway. Its just amazing how much value we put in appearance...
