Wow... just realized I said I'm 32. I've been 33 for over 6 months. Yeesh.

Thanks! I'll do that.
Now I'm working on doing the dreads myself, since I don't have any dread friends to help. I like the twist and rip method, from what I'm seeing. Any tips for doing it yourself?

So, my husband has agreed to a trial with dreads. If he just can't get over it looking weird on me, I'll comb them out.
My husband has been super supportive of me with some major life changes (tattoos, piercings, going veg), so I'm going to let his hesitation on this issue slide =)

General Questions
I've wanted dreads for a while, but my husband is opposed to the idea. I'd thought about getting dreadfalls and he's okay with that, but there's something about natural dreads that really appeals to me. As I'm making the switch to a vegetarian lifestyle, I'm wanting the natural dreads even more.
Also, I'm in a legal battle with my ex-husband, so I'm also hesitant to get dreads for that reason, since many people in those positions look negatively toward people with dreads.
I guess my questions are:
1. Is it ridiculous for a 32 year old married mother of two to get dreads in the first place?
2. Have you had people look down on you simply for the dreads?
3. Is it possible to have some dreads, but not your whole head dreaded?
4. Have any of you dealt with negative opposition from family members for getting dreads?

I was just about to post this question, so thanks. Great ideas here.
I've been trying to think of a way to wear my hair to my husband's pinning (he was selected for Chief in the U.S. Navy and it's a really big deal). I think I'll try two little pig tails with an ivory lace-ish handkerchief. Fun!
