Because you had the courage to go and do something different---and because you are a doll---and because you are really so likeable and have such a lovely spirit---unfortunately, some people can see it as an opportunity to deliver some spite. I agree with just about everyone who is saying supportive things, and wondering where these nasties get off: IGNORE the negative responses. I used to get *stuff* like this from my sister and stepmother and one hurtful ex-friend. I never understood where they were coming from, or what I had done to deserve their snotty comments. I thought they cared for me.
But they apparently saw me as some kind of threat, a person to be 'taken down a peg'. That caused me some confusion for a bit, too, until I realized this was becoming their standard pattern of behaviour, and that they had morphed into some REALLY un-kind people over time.
It got easier and easier to ignore them, with practice. It was their problem, not mine!

Thank you, Museum Ghost, your words are so kind and sweet.
My boss walked up to me this morning and "apologized" for her comments. She said that when she first saw me she was shocked, but after working with me for a few days she realized that my hair was beautiful after the shock wore off. She told me I was super pretty and that she liked my hair. Today I worked with the whole crew and two of my coworkers loved my hair (both were guys) and I had two customer comments who said my hair was adorable. One woman is a regular and chatted me up about my hair, and I told her I dye my hair on a regular basis and she said she loves my hair and can't wait to see what I do next.
So after a rough start, I'm feeling the love. I also think it's because since I've dyed my hair, I set my hair with mayo for an hour, and then almost every day I put a small amount of "extra penetrating" moroccan oil in my hair, more if my hair is wet. So I've taken a photo of me the other day and you can tell a drastic difference of the health in my hair, and I think what I've been doing is making my hair blonder.
Here's an updated photo for those who can see it...
