A lil vent:
my mother is still going around labeling hair "good" or "pretty" and "bad" or "not nice". She usually only comments on the hair she finds nice/pretty. But as a transitioner considering going to fro, it is getting so annoying.
I tried to ask her what she means that certain hair is good. She said it's easy to comb. I said any hair that's soft and moisturized is easy to comb. She says that pretty hair lays down and is silky. Okay, so it is. I'm not contesting this per se. But if you're natural and want to wear a natural style, isn't your routine easy?
Anyway, it's hard to change the more mature, as they are set in their beliefs that have been instilled in them since childhood. But she keeps telling my daughter that " you have pretty hair and Grandma doesn't". It's hard to undo this damage.
