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 guess my situation is a little different. im african, i grew up there so there wasnt really a complex about hair but as you got older, it was something all the girls wanted. but i kwym though, must be awful growing up thinking you had awful hair when it just wasnt handled properly. on a lighter note, i feel sorry for zahara jolie-pitt. her parents clearly have no clue about her hair [ Reply | More
