so i'm watching tonight's episode on DVR and it's a cute young black girl from philly. she wears a scarf everyday and just had her in a ponytail. of course i'm waiting like "what is nick going to do?" well when they come to the hair section he takes her scarf off and her hair is superstraight and in two french braids--nothing like it had been the whole episode. as he takes the braids apart he asks her if she likes the relaxer they had given her (off screen). she said yes that she liked it but that it was different because she hasn't had her hair relaxed for 5 years. he says "well why did you wait so long to do that?" wtf? he then cut her hair into a bob and gave her bangs. the end result was cute and the girl was happy, but i didn't like the implication that she couldn't have had a nice hairstyle without getting a relaxer. i am by no means anti-relaxer at all...i jst know that i had been told for my whole life that the only way my hair would be straight/nice/manageable is if i got a relaxer...and it just isn't the case. don't mind me this is my late night rant lol. i jst think sometimes black women get a little messed over on these shows.
