[ - ] I'm a woman with curly hair who was raised by a mom with pin straight hair. Her comments on my hair being difficult and frizzy really made me hate my hair my entire life. I have 2 dds with gorgeous curly hair and always tell them how beautiful it is. There is a girl in my building who is AA and 9 yr old. I know this is none of my business nor would I ever say anything but her mom lets her use hair pieces (like straight pony tail, ect). To me this is such a shame. I wish more moms would just show their dds that they are beautiful with just how they are. Show them to love and embrace their natural beauty. My own cousin is half black and her mom put a relaxer in her hair when she was 11 yr old. My cousin has been doing this since then. Just a shame what we do to the young 13 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More
