I don't like the after. I think he couldve done something with her long hair. I like nick but I think that he, like most other non-people of color (if I can say it like that), are use to our hair being short and damaged. They are use to us wearing weaves and wigs. I think they, like most of us use to believe, don't think it's normal for us to grow long hair. I think that the girl's being long took him out of his "norm", so he needed to cut it to make it right. That's why I think he said it didn't look real. How does your hair not look real all because it's LONG???
IMO, her hair looked better before. She just needed a wash, condition, and a trim.
