I told my mom today
General Talk
That's great that she defends you! That's how it should be! In my family I knew I might get comments since my hair has always been so long. My mom had cancer when I was very little so she cut all my hair off since she was unable to care for it. Then she was so distraught that she never let me cut my hair again. As an adult I have cut my hair to my shoulders a few times, but I always hated it and grew it back. So the dreads might not go over well with everyone since it's a pretty big change, but at least my mom didn't say anything negative.
