I Plan to go on a roadtrip and especially to Ohio, Missouri, Texas and Louisiana.

Can I expect trouble with long hair? I got this unwashed jesus-hair. No shampoo, only water. I wore a full beard a month ago. Shaved it for christmas.

Otherwise your hair will stink (as I'm sure it does right now), and you will look dirty and greasy.

Good question. I live in TX and have traveled in OH.

It depends on where in those states and how you will be traveling. (I don't think that hitch hiking with such hair would be necessarily successful.)

But my recommendation is to cut it (you don't have to look like a missionary, but more "respectable"). And wash it. With soap!

hell yeah, you frickin' hippy. What kind of country do you this is anyway. We're civilized here. No dude, just kiddin' - keep the hair, just don't canoe down any southern rivers like they did in the movie Deliverance..unless you swing that way. I live in one of them states you mentioned, i.e. MOville, and we have long hair here.

You might not look totally "respectable," but I doubt anyone will give you any trouble over it.

You'll have a lot more problems with poor hygiene (the lack of washing your hair with shampoo or soap) than you will with having it long.

Plenty of people have long hair. But yes - wash it properly, please.

White Southern cops hate long haired men. Louisiana cops are notorious for using hippie profiling to stop people and search them for drugs without probable cause.
Country music bars are risky, too.
I would strongly advise getting a haircut if you'll be in rural areas of these states.

My grandmother told me a long time ago that she did not care if my hair got so long that I had to climb a tree to take a sh$t.

I weigh 269 pounds have been doing compound lifting for a while. I do not look like a junkie. I look like the door of a barnyard. I Wear Do not tread on me-t-shirts.

I d not was my hair because I want to look like a greek god, I use olive oil only to get a glow.

A big strong scary bum.
Trust me, you will attract the attention of law enforcement, especially those who like to pull people over just to go on fishing expeditions.

If I tell them that I am an ex-marine? Leave me alone.

just for driving while long-haired.
At least be clean and well-groomed. You can do that with long hair. If you want your hair to glow -- WASH and condition it!!!

I love dirty hair. I get this wonderful bum-curls. Women have been giving compliments abouts it. My look like the hair of a jew.

Common on!!

Do you bathe?

Yes. I do not use soap everytime. Only after sex, I do not want to smell sex.

Most people would rather smell sex than unwashed B.O.
How about you just stay home.

No BadGirl.

The deist-Lord do not want me to stay @ home.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

I am with Baddy on this one...in the US it is the norm to wash and comb your hair and use soap when bathing...
now if it is the Rasta look and the natty dread look you are going for...you need to know one thing...those guys wash and use shampoo...BUT the hair is not combed or brushed...thats where the curly dreadlocks come from...and if you dont use soap very often while bathing you will have an unpleasant odor about you...at least unpleasant to people of this culture...where do you hail from?

Which makes me laugh so hard

No. It wont' matter.

I'm sure you'll be fine as long as you don't smell. America has a significant counter culture of people who don't care what they look like.

I do care about what I look like. I want to look like how the deist-God created me. I want to be natural and smell natural.

This is a cultural thing you need to be aware of.

+1

Unless you're planning on hanging out in Boulder, Berkley, Durango or one of the few American towns that cater to counter-culture types. don't be suprised if Americans are repulsed. You can get "natural" shampoos and conditioners that don't strip your hair and leave you clean smelling.

That sounds great. I only want to live like the deist-God created the human-race. There was no soap during the creation.

Just a warning.

I have been warned all my life. I hope the americans do nt tread on me because I do not tread on them.

Because your smell might be too offensive.
Also, the cops in come areas will pull you over and harrass you.

That does not sound constitutional.

Oh, honey...You have NO idea what you are in for when it comes to cops in many conservative areas. Because of the Patriot Act, police can stop and harass you for pretty much any reason. I know, because myself and other friends have been on the receiving end of this treatment.

When I enter the states I will state my religious beliefs at the customs. I am deist.

I want to live that way.

Simple as that. If the cops encroach my rights. Well, they ridicule God.

There are no customs stations at each state. Seriously, I'm not trying to be a bitch here, but do you know anything about American cultures and sub-cultures?

I know about the constitution.

But the constitution applies only to citizens. Non-citizens we don't like get thrown into prison in Cuba and we may never see from you ever again.

Probably better to just wear some deodorant for a few days, ok?

Lol.

I can tell you this. I f they send me to Cuba. The whole national media would cover it in my home country. I am more american than a so called RINO. At Guantanamo I would recite Thomas Jefferson quotes.

I see no problem then. Be sure to visit lots of Wal-Mart stores as you travel, you will feel right at home.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's one of the few things I like about this era. I see people with shaved heads, long hair, mohawks, flattops and just about any other hair cut you can imagine and nobody really gives a flying crap. And I live in Wyoming.

He was recently hospitalized for surgery in Akron, Ohio. He was treated like a king. A lot of it is how you see and project yourself. My bro's demeanor is "This is me" and not "This is me and my attitude." He's friendly and polite. IMO that's what gets ya treated well. People who already have their minds made up (Mormons maybe?) aren't worth worrying about.

As for the lack of shampoo... I have heard of this before... seriously, there are people who go for this. It's even been called a movement.

Yup, it's called the Neanderthal or Caveman Regimen. I'm not into to it and I think for many people it might be a bad idea.

Listen to this song:


Metallica - Don`t Tread On Me

If your hair becomes a problem you can always get it cut.

I am wondering if Vol the deist is playing us the fools>>>
just wondering!

Well I do not wash my hair with shampoo. I only use hot water.

Soap? Ok, once a week.

I think it is unnatural.

I know that it is better for me to travel to Washington State.

that you will fit right in as Sasquatch.

I wouldn't over anticipate trouble. Some people might not warm up to you but that is going to happen anywhere.

As to shampoo, capitalistic consumerism has done a great job judging by some of the responses on this thread.

Not using shampoo doesn't mean you are dirty, unkept person. I know a number of people who don't and they are clean, kept and sweet smelling. Only being a dirty unkept person means you are a dirty, unkept person.

Enjoy your trip.

I use hot water every day to wash my hair. I feel and look clean.
