Are you a standard Rastafarian then? I must confess of all the most popular religious generalities its the one i know the least about. But youre right about the triviality of hairlines and such things, i used to have a bit of a hang up about it a couple of years ago but these are things you have to accept with good grace.
Hair does crop up (pardon the pun) in religion quite alot, monks shaving their heads in the way they do, Hassidic Jews with the sideburns, Hare Krishnas etc.
