Can a fallen angel ask for forgiveness?
What do you man by 'fallen angels' as it is not Scriptural. The Bible does record Jesus saying:
Luke 10:18
New International Version (NIV)
18 He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
Revelation 12:4New International Version (NIV)4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.
Stars are commonly a reference to angels and a dragon is commonly Satan. These have now been changed by their rebellion and sin into demons which suggest their character is now sealed. The Scripture does not say whether or not they can be forgiven as Jesus died for the sins of mankind. But it says that even after Satan is bound for 1000 years in the pit, he comes out still rebellious and will be thrown into the Lake of Fire for eternal punishment.
Answer:Absolutely not. Jude 6 tells us: "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgement of the great day."

It also pictured the depth of love God showed when allowing HIS son to be sacrificed in behalf of sinful mankind(Hebrews 11:17-19)(James 2:21). Along with that, it showed that if we are obedient to God in all things, God will not forget the 'love we show for his name'(1 John 5:3)(1 John 4:10)(Hebrews 6:10).

What does the Bible say about women having dreads or braids?
Nothing. What the bible does say is women should keep their head covered and there is an implication that this is with long hair. Actually the meaning is to stay covered by Christ as protection from the fallen Angels, who will be coming in the end times.
