Something has foiled my plan.

I took a lot of crap from my family and friends over my decision to dread... my mother posted tactless comments on my dready timeline on facebook, my sister refuses to acknowledge that she has a sister (mostly due to the dreads) and while my father is trying to be accepting, even he is a bit wary of them.I was in the same boat.. in high school, my only attractive quality was my long and perfectly healthy red hair. But here's the thing. The dreads are going to do something magical for you: dreads weed out the people that are really there for you, vs. just there for your looks. In the long run, as gratifying as it is to hear people call you pretty/gorgeous/ect. what you need is people that love you for you. If this guy can't accept you as you are (dreads or no) and see the beauty beyond the dreads, then he's really not worth your time.I was worried when I started dreading that my fianc was going to find me less attractive because of them...something beautiful happened though. As my dreads matured, he watched my confidence grow. Suddenly, I was my own person, and not worrying so much about what other people thought. I became more attractive to him just because of that boost in confidence.Moral of the story: Buck up sweetheart. You're gorgeous and this is your decision. Figure out why you really want dreads and hold onto that like glue. Never let anyone's opinion sway your mind.

not everyone is going to love your dreads.
You are beautiful and I don't think you should let one person's comment change your mind. Number one most important thing in life is making sure you are happy and meeting your own needs. One thing that is happening with me while on this dreading journey is that I am growing so much more confidence and can look in the mirror and be happy with myself. I finally am starting to feel like my outside appearance is refecting my inner self. Sure some people may be less receptive to people with dreads but honestly why would you want to be around someone that judges based on appearance? I also went through a period of discouragement in the beginning of my dreads but it's all part of the process. Just stay true to yourself and you can never be wrong. Good luck!
