True to a point, it does depend entirely upon the company in question. But like I said, I've yet to have a problem in the graphic design field (not just this company) with dreads.
it's been a year since I combed and I fucking miss em. But I also love the feeling of washing my hair without lox... dries way quicker... and styling is fun sometimes. I don't really do much different now anyway, the real difference is conditioner. I want to start them again when my hair is mad long.
