Don't worry girl. I have the same "non-problem" with this latina lady that I work with and my hair isn't even anywhere near the point of your's yet. Whenever I change my hairstyle or wear my hair out, I get compliments from every single one of my co-workers except her. She just stares. I think many latinas are conditioned to think women with afro textured have hair that can not grow or be thick. Just like most black people. Thus when they see someone with hair that contradicts their beliefs, they are at lost for words or compliments. They really don't know of anything good to say about afro textured hair, because all their lives all their thoughts or words about it have been bad.
