Subject: my daughter’s natural hair
As a white mom of an Ethiopian daughter, I’m often asked when I will get her hair straightened. People ask as if it’s a foregone conclusion that we would/should prefer that. I love her curly hair, and while it takes time to style it, she looks like her beautiful self and not like everybody else. She sometimes says that she would like long straight hair, and she got her wish when we got it trimmed last month. She has so much hair that the stylist had to straighten it to cut it. Thankfully, this wonderful stylist used heat to straighten it and told me to never use a chemical straightener because her hair was so beautiful.
Thank you for your website… I just started looking at it, but I love the ideas, and I’m glad that there are others who want to stay natural.
