I am a little over 3 weeks into my dreadlock journey. I'm 15 and still in high school, so it's a little rough. In the past, I have had dreads many times for 2 weeks or less. However, this time I have a really great feeling about it, and I don't plan on brushing them out any time in the near future.
Today the comments were pretty rude. Things like "Me and this girl were talking about you. Your hair is like...sectioned. I swear, if you're doing that dreadlock thing our friendship is over." ...things like that.
Anyway, the comments really don't bother me much but I never know how to respond. Nobody knows that I am growing dreadlocks yet because I didn't know if I would stick with it. So I always just reply something like "Nah" and change the topic. Should I just be honest with the people who ask? I've been considering posting a status on facebook just to get it out there that Im growing dreads. This way everyone will know and they wont have to murmur about me (even though this may cause more talk).
I just want to know how you all went about this. Thanks!
