Well, you’re probably worrying a little more than you need to. We believe most cultures have seen dreadlocks on white people, and if they haven't they would likely be cultures that just haven't seen many white people, period. I guess you'd want to consider how much attention you want to draw to yourself in general.

Depending on where you are going, you may have many more children and people wanting to touch your hair all the time - but this happens to people with locks even in N America. Just a fact of life with locks! Maybe get a good hair wrap or hat for the days when the attention becomes too much to take, would be our recommendation...
