I go to a very snobby rich highschool and most people think my hair is gross. Some of my friends even tell me they think its gross up to my face. I try not to care but sometimes it does get to me. I never say anything about the way that they look, so why should they insult me. Also my family thinks its gross too. It really hurts, I don't know how not to let it get to me.... help!
Im guessing you have dreadlocks? I think the answer to your solution is just to bite the dust and get on with it. Dreads as such arent just a hairstyle but also a lifestyle...
Ask them why they think it's gross...and try to explain to them why their thoughts are incorrect... Education is the key!
mmmyeah, my family comments on my hair pretty much every day...Just learn to deal with it. You chose the hair, you get the consequenses. People are buttmunches no matter what, don't let it bother you. Thicken your skin a lil bit, sweetie. Show them what an awesome person you are and they'll forget the hair.
i like that last comment. i'd stop hanging out with people who hurt my feelings. even my family. i would tell them how their comments affect me and if they choose to carry on i could no longer spend much time with them for the good of my self esteem. i'm sorry. people can be such assholes
ooohhh, I LIKE that!!! You know, my mom made a comment the other day. She said "When's the last time you washed your hair?" I told her it'd been 6 days...she was shocked. She told me that my hair didn't even smell dirty...and before it'd smell dirty after just a day or so of not washing. Soooo, moral of the story is that dreads really ARE cleaner than most peoples' hair. Well kept dreads, that is.
Yeah...I have a friend who uses MOUSSE. *shudder* Talk about sticky grossness...if you have to wash your hands after using it, you probably shouldn't have it in your hair. Or anywhere else on your body, for that matter.
i havent even finished backcombing in yet and have already had comments. i see it as a personal challenge for the fastest one liner i had 'f'kin hell did you wake up with a bad hair day or what' i replied with 'yep, but at least i didnt wake up a moron'. (or something similar lol) worked a like a charm. the other one is 'eewwwwww how do you keep them clean??' me = 'they have invented this wonderful thing now, its called shampoo!! amazing or what eh?'
