i would have laughed and said is a tree in the forrest more real then 1 painted by a painter>?/\how are dreads that form naturaly less real then those forced into existence by a salon?
in fact natural dreads are more real then salon dreads because they form the traditional way by letting nature do what it does

My mom has been against my locks since day 1. When my wedding was coming up, she finally caved about me having them. But... She wanted me to comb them out so she could pay for me to go to a salon and have them "done" nicely.
My aunt doesn't talk about them much, but one day went on and on about how they will make me go bald.
My grandfather, who is from the old country, constantly tells me to cut them and that I am too old to have funny hair.
We all have people in out lives who don't approve of the things we do. Luckily this is someone you don't see regularly.

I'm only on day four of my journey to dreads and what few knots I have aren't noticeable enough to make people want to say something to me my uncle gets disgusted when I talk about it or give the reason why I don't comb my hair. I ignore him and continue my journey. The rest of the family is supportive of my choice to start dreads.

Honey I've been told so many things about my hair, like many others who have responded. It won't dread. It's too soft. It's not for white people, blacks started it. Uhm, it looks like serious bedhead. I'll hate it after a while. Sooo many things. My sister-in-law hates my dreading hair because she says she loves the way it looked before... Eh. Best thing to do is keep your chin up, even when the road seems tough, prove everyone wrong and LOVE your dreads and yourself regardless of what others say. For a while I will be the pot calling the kettle black, but this is what I have learned... haven't had to guts to put it into practice yet though. :P Best wishes to you.
