Heather, it's interesting how your post has brought out so many similar experiences and ideas about how best to react. I haven't had any negative comments yet, only teasing remarks from my partner about 'rasta plaits,' but appreciate the warnings and insights. I've always been a quiet non-confrontational person, the sort that turns to jelly at the slightest disapproving look. Hopefully my confidence will strengthen with my dreads. Wishing you love and peace and happy laughter.
