My Dreadlocks almost a year Later!

So my mom says "So how long are you going to keep your hair like that?  When are you going to take those things loose?"  My response: "Ummm, they are permanent."  Her response: "Oh." Our facial expressions were both priceless during this brief discussion of my locks. LOL!

My mom is a diehard for straight hair, but she loves me unconditionally.  As my dreadlocks get longer, they will begin to grow on her more.  I still have wigs as an option for a "straight hair" look.
