You could give them the facts. Why did you decide to dread? If you feel like sharing with them, share and let them know the truth about dreadlocks. Most of the negative comments to me come from people who just don't know that you still wash and care about your hair and stereotypes that have stuck. You will learn patience, acceptance and strength from your dread journey and that alone will give you more confidence, at least that has been my experience thus far.Best wishesto you, keep being yourself. =)
