Jesus Freed My Soul!! said:
I've had mine for 15 months and never had anyone touch them (except for a crazy hairdresser cousin)until last Sunday at church. This lady just stopped where I was, touched my dreadsand said, "I was looking at those." She had a big smile and never said anything mean to me. To me, if people touch or want to touch they don't think they are dirty and are just curious.On my way out the door another lady yelled above the crowd, "I love your hair!" Made my day:)
I've had my dreads for nearly 3 years now. I get the usual questions about them a lot and although it's probably my 1,000,000 time of explaining, I try to remember that it is probably that persons' first time asking. I also remember whenI was much younger I used tofollow people with dreadlocks to ask them about how they got them etc.
I don't mind people asking permission to touch them, or even smell them?? One person even said they'd like to eat them, which was weird. The problem I have is when I'm in a queue or some public place and I feel someone touching them. I think to myself, if you're going to go to the trouble of touching them without me noticing,wouldn't have beeneasier toask me? It would have also been less embarassing for them to ask, then it would be for them to get caught touching my dreads.
A friend of mine said that I sound turn around, put my finger in my mouth like I'm trying to get something out of my teeth, then make an attempt to touch their hair. Either that or just turn round and say to them "cool hair, do you mind if I touch it?" and see what their reaction is. I've not attempted either.
