WILL LIL’ WAYNE HAVE TO CUT HIS HAIR FOR JAIL?
THE FACTS
There’s speculation as to what will come of Lil’ Wayne’s trademark hair once he begins his likely one-year jail sentence next year.
THE SPIN
Typically with New York State Law inmates aren’t allowed to have long hair – especially locs.
With Wayne heading to prison soon for gun possession many are asking what will come of his long locs that have become associated with Wayne almost as much as a Styrofoam cup?
The blog, Fly Style Life spoke with one attorney who shared the followed:
We reached out to a lawyer friend of ours to find out Wayne’s sentence means for his almost waist-length locks.
“Male prisoners are only allowed to wear their hair in cornrows, going straight back. And they can’t exceed the ‘natural hairline’ in length.”
Now of course our question is: what does ‘natural hairline’ mean?
“It means it can’t extend the neck.” But there is one loop-hole in the issue – though I’m not sure it’s going to help Wayne. “Prisoners who claim Rastafarri as their religion are allowed in most cases to keep their locks. But even then there’s a process to determine if it’s genuine.”
I know what you’re saying, Why does it matter to prison officials in the first place? Well the rules on personal grooming have everything to do with safety and control. Authorities argue that contraband can be hidden in the hair and that is can be shaved to quickly alter appearance in the event of escape.
So it doesn’t look good for Weezy. This will be one interesting mug shot.
I know, I know: It’s not [that] important, but it will make for an interesting mug shot at least, right?

Forget what he’ll look like, you should ask will any sense penetrate that brain of his as a result of his sentence?
, he shouldnt have too cut of his her .! he is who he is && cant nobody chanqe him .
He’ll just look like himself without locs.
he will still look ugly with or without his locks
maybe if he cute his hair everyone will stop riding his dick and realize his music blows=]

Someone should stop riding it so he can stop reproducing.

LOL @ shockadelica. I agree you. With or without the locks he’ll still look UGLY!
Correction. I agree with you.
Who really cares about his hair, focus on the crimes….

I agree whatabouther? he looks a hot mess, hell forget about the hair he need GOD he’s going in and coming out the same way.
He don’t know! God bless he
Who really gives a crap, with what he has to do with his hair. He walks around with the attitude that he can do whatever he wants and no one can’t tell him what to do. Somebody should of told him to carry a conceal weapon without a license in NYC is illegal, so for this he will have to serve time and what ever comes along with that(him having to cut off his locks) he will have to do what they say…end of story
Maynne thats summ nonsense. Wayne been growin his hair for thas longest. Now he gotta cut it.!? Well iGuess he gotta pay for his crime. But cuttin his hair, thats tough as shidd.
so who cares about lil weezy!im tryna get dis paper u feel me player lol!
He’ll look like the lil boy I knew hangin on the streets of NOLA….spittin rhymes with what is known as the cash money crew! Da NOLA aint in da hair….its in him!
Just might do him some good.
Why is everyone tripping and not spelling things right!!!! His locs are what makes him,him and what makes him stand out from other rappers.Ladies you all know how much time and how much care goes into growing OUR hair, wouldn’t you be a little bitter? Excuse my ignorance to the matter but does the female population have to cut their hair as well? EXACTLY!!!!! Not to mention, appearance is EVERYTHING in the music industry,NO,in ANY industry. Not only does it give a boost of confidence(and a stagerring performance)but also help promotes his music.All in all if the law says cut it, then CUT IT and sell it.:)
its just plain dumb for him to keep his locs in prison if he gets in a fight its so easy to use those locs against him, cmon people get real Please! its for his own dumb safety
Like I said Mrs./Mr. KnowItAll if the law says cut it cut it. *rolles eyes*
Maybe he’s like Sampson, the strength is in his hair. lol Just throwing a little humor out there,anyway we will all find out soon. GOOD NIGHT
oh man no ; i hope he wont have to cut it ; ima fucking pray lol. he looks hella good with them.
If it’s required for him to cut his locks, then he should. What makes him special from the other inmates who had to cut theirs? He’s in the system like the rest of the inmates, so comply with the rules….And BTW, whoever said he’s the best ever, is smokin something real good. I think my boy Pac is the greatest. Wayne will be up there tho.
I just had to scroll back and take another look at that picture to see how he’s looking good with them. I arrived at the same conclusion: YIKES!!
Mine eyes have not seen the glory.
Now, he’s someone who could use a chin implant.
I DONOT CARE WHAT THE F$CK HE CUT OFF!!! HE STILL SEXY!!!!!!THEN A MUG!!!!!!!
I guess if u can’t do the time don’t do the crime. But they can’t just let it slide? Lil Wayne’s hair is like his strength. When he got his dreads he became a musical super star! So when he gets out of jail, he might just suck
FUCK ALL YALL LIL WAYNE IS THE BEST EVER AND HE SHOULDENT HAVE TO SHAVE HIS HAIR IF HE DOESNT WANT TO U GUYS/HOES CAN KISS HIS ASS AND MINE U DICKS FUCK YALL BITCHES
The question is not about his hair, it is about the language Young Aubrey and lettaboo use. Clean out you thoughts and mouth
Lil Wayne is a hot mess and has been for many years. He got hooked on the white people drugs and is starting to act like the live action clown he already looks like. If he goes into prison he is no longer “Weezy” he will be known by a number. If the rules say cut the hair then looks like that’s what he is gonna have to do, you think NYC prison system gives a flying fuck about junkie Wayne? Think again!!! Please everyone get off his dick, Jay-Z is still better and Em killed Weezy, Kanye & Drake in one set of 16 bars.
Weezy is so popular because of the media buying he did, not because he has the hottest music!!! If you don’t know about media buying than you don’t know shit about the music industry and can’t comment about more than his hair!!!
Yall Haters Lil Wayne Is Sexy and He Will Look Good Without His Locs but Its Crazy they have To Just Be Cut Off Like That. He Grew Them For Over 8 Years. I Know He Mad. But D’Wayne Micheal Cater Jr IsStill Sexy. Ima Miss My Babes When He Gone
Every artist has something that makes them that artist, so please. His style is original and unique. But on the real he did commit a crime and he does have to pay for it. And when he does get out he will go harder than ever. Talent at its purest.. Whether you like him or not, you can’t say he’s not talented..
y all these ppl so god damn worried about the way he do his thing. it is his choice not yalls like urmama said get off his dick and realize that its not crime to cut yo hair the way you think will be best for u in jail.
by the way like some ppl keep sayin he should not get special treatment juzz cause he a rapper.so wat?????he ugly as a chickens ass anyway. the law is the law and if he break it again then thats too damn bitchy for him
Forget about having to cut his hair…he betta pray that they put him in PC, be caz if he’s in GP, he might very well get taken advantage of. There’s no guns to protect him up in jail.
dat niggaz farts aint gon make no noises wen he get out
weezy u my nigga but dey gon tear dat ass up
man wayne i miss yuu like crazy yuu go b my new baby daddy
i miss yu wanye yuu go b my new babydaddylol…luv yuu bae come home to your kids
LoL this shit crazy but nah he shouldnt have to cut them. I only like a few of his songs as far as an artist goes I like his old shit none of the new I feel he a sell out now but as far as putting music out there? he probally rivals with Pac if im not mistaken he has about probably 1000 songs out now? that’s enough for about what 50 albums? Anyways I’m growing my shit out to become Rastafarian and Its only been 4 months but every-time I see a razor i get nervous so Imagine how this dude must feel… extensions or not. He has to have atleast 10 or 11 inches under those extensions by now.
MY MAN IS HOT EVEN IF HE HAVE TO CUT HIS HAIR BUT HE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO
