Actually this is more of a rant. I was reading the reviews on the Folica website for Solia flat iron. They are having an awesome sale right now.... but I digress....
This lady posted pics of her bi-racial half Filipino / African American daughters hair before and after. And this is what she had to say:
My daughter is half Filipino and half African American. Her hair has been such a nightmare for me. I just didn't know how to deal with all the craziness. She would wake up in the morning looking like Hagrid from Harry Potter, it was horrible. Her self esteem was getting affected with it, and I felt bad because I just didn't know to fix it
So we always just greased it and put it in a pony tail. That's the only way that it would look good and not poof up.
We visited family members and my cousin owned a Solia, and swore she will do wonders with my daughters hair. So, I let her take my daughter to the bedroom, and when she came out, my mouth dropped to the ground. Her hair was straight as can be, and shiny. It was as if the crazy, frizzy, kinky hair never existed. I was SOLD!!! As soon as I got home, I purchased one for her, and she absolutely loves her hair. I can tell from her attitude that it helped her self esteem a lot too.
I would highly recommend this product to people who's had to deal with frizzy, kinky, unmanageable hair. I can't wait to get mine back. I wouldn't want to do without it.
My issue with this is..why do some people have biracial children and then treat them like they have the plague? Becuse their hair has kink to it they seem soo surprised?! And this woman goes on to talk about her daughter's hair low as a dog then say in the same breathe that she thinks her daughter has low self-esteem beucase of it. Hmmm I wonder where she got those ideas from. I'm sitting here like this little girl has what a lot of AA's would call "good" hair and this woman is acting as if this child has the worst hair in the world. When will people learn? And why have a bi-racial child if you are going to react this way to a little kink?
Sorry ya'll just had to get this off my chest... that crap makes me sick to my stomach. Especially when it involves little kids... it's so pointless.

And genuinely ignorant - as in just doesn't know and don't wanna know. How about 1) teaching your child that her natural texture is innately beautiful bc its hers and 2) learning to work with it and not against it by "obliterating any trace of kink"?
