Thanks. 
I hope it works. And if I do start over...I'm going 100% natural. No back-combing this time...and not even twist and rip.

We can't afford to lose business. 
Thank you for your support though, SE. <3333

tell her you want to dread again but if you receive 1 su=ingle complaint you will cover or comb but iff u dont receive 1 single complaint then there is no reason to change a thing
KnottyPrincess said:This is mostly true...but not here in Littleton. ESPECIALLY not when it comes to this business. There is a lot of prejudice especially when people are letting you into their homes. I'm not going to let my hair dread until I can convince her to at least allow me to cover my hair or something. I came here to help and if that means making sacrifices...so be it. Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt though.

I hate my "normal" hair so much...it just symbolizes a person that I'm not anymore. I look in the mirror and all I want to do is cry...Is that stupid? Am I being dramatic?
Okay...so my family runs a business. I moved from Jersey to Colorado to help them out (also because I was adopted and raised by wonderful parents whom I love and still consider my parents...but it was time to come out here and reconnect with this family) and specifically told them I had dreads and I was NOT planning on taking them out. Of course...I come out here...and for the first week and a half...it's a non-issue. THEN my bio-mom started kind of bugging me to take them out. I said no...and she left it alone. Then a few days ago...she sat me down and told me I pretty much needed to take out my dreads. She doesn't necessarily mind them...but she knows that people around here are prejudice against dreads and she needs me to help her out with being face to face with customers. So I was pretty much forced to comb out the dreads. Technically I could have kept them...but that would have been selfish because she REALLY needs my help. I care about family more than anything and even though it hurts...I had to do it. I'm really sad and heartbroken...but it's just hair. I have to just accept it and later on when I can...I'll let my hair dread again. (Oh but I forgot to mention...she saw how sad I was over it and felt really bad...so she let me have one. So I have a little piece in the front that I can clip back when I'm working that I am letting dread. So that can be my little dread journey for now.) Still though...I'm really sad so I could really use some love and support right now.
I just added you I haven't seen ONE at all!
