OK so we don't know/have the 77 comandments just yet but now that you know more about the reasoning behind why they are grown do you think you could abide by these kind of laws mentioned?
@alabamagirl: I agree about the ignorance although to an extent ignorance is not a bad thing because it just shows what that person doesn't know. Unfortunately it's the not knowing that would lead to such a stereotype in the first place but it can quite offensive to be on the receicing end when the assumption doesn't apply.
Do you wear locks by the way? If so what do you think of the practices associated with wearing them?

Hi Matt
What practices are you talking about? I wear locks but it is not because of any cultural stereotype. Since I was a small child my scalp suffered, I hated to have my hair combed. In my teens this soreness did not go away and I had migraine to deal with. Eventually ten years ago, I'd had enough, stopped perming my hair and have not looked back. It's a pleasure to wash my hair and go, no concerns about getting chemically straightened hair wet.
I make my own hair conditioners, and rinses and oils, growing the herbs in the garden. I tend to keep my hair shoulder length, trimming the ends. It took me the better part of ten years to look in the mirror and finally see "me", pretty much a spiritual state of being.
