This is an HONEST question that I genuinely need help with. I need to make a decision soon because I have an appointment next month to get it done.
Hi all,
I am a black female that will soon be transferring to the University of Minnesota to major in Neuroscience. I want to wear my hair in Sisterlocks, but I am afraid that this hairstyle may not fit into the medical profession. I intend to earn an MD/PhD and be a physician scientist. I would like to earn my MD in Europe (UK, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, or Switzerland), and my PhD in Europe as well. If I were to get sisterlocks, I would keep them a neutral color (my own natural hair color--dark brown), and keep them very neat and clean. The reason I would like to loc my hair is because my hair is virtually unmanageable in its present state, and I can't relax my hair or wear weaves because I am allergic to the chemicals in the relaxer (already tried it) and weaves thin my hairline out considerably (already tried it). Basically, sisterlocks look like small braids. There are some pictures below.
Do you think it would be unwise of me to wear my hair in Sisterlocks, considering that I want to be in the medical profession as an MD/PhD, and primarily practice/do research in the UK/Scandinavia/etc? I carry myself very well, and I speak with a "proper" accent.
