Today I’m going to be talking about a very important issue within the black community. I have heard young black girls talk about how they want to have hair like their white friends. They don’t think that having kinky hair is acceptable and it makes them “lower class” and they come home crying home about how they got teased about having “kinky” or “nappy” hair. The solution for quite a few parents is to relax* or texlax** there child's hair so that the child avoids being bullied. It may seem a very good idea at that time but have they actually listened to what the child has said, they don’t seem to appreciate their heritage and wish to be white because they have “good hair”.
I don’t think there is such a thing as good or bad hair , there are just different types and textures, all hair is beautiful no one type is better than the others.
The other day I was watching Tyra Banks with my family, and what the children and the parents had to say about their hair was very disturbing and made me want to cry.
