I come back to this because of my niece, I'm not black, but she is. She's started kindergarten this year, she's creative, and sweet, and so incredibly smart. Two nights before her first day of school, she was playing with my hair and called it pretty. When I told her hers was pretty too, she ducked her little face down and shook her head and said no it's not. She told me she didn't like her hair because it was scary. And I don't think my heart could ever ache as much as it did when it was clear this beautiful little girl had been given the impression her natural hair was scary.

I'm currently in Cosmetology school and I'm happy to say that my school teaches how to do textured and ethnic hair. I, as a white woman with zero previous exposure to black hair, have learned a lot and have a new understanding of cultural hair styles. I still have a lot to learn but I want to be able to make everyone who sits in my chair feel good about themselves and leave feeling beautiful, no matter their race.

Time for a score card:
20 points for knowing anything about ECO gel.
20 points for knowing about silk press.
20 points for knowing the proper way to wear a lace front.
And, 40 points for bringing up the issue.
We can not create real change with out real allies, I appreciate your
acknowledgement of the struggle and your eloquent way of addressing it.

A little girl I used to babysit was biracial and had a big afro. It was clean and well maintained. Her white teacher sent home a note saying she either needed to shave it off or get it braided. When her parents refused the teacher called CPS on them. She said that it was obvious they weren't caring for her properly. Her parents were two of the kindest people I ever met and this killed them inside. They won against the teacher and to this day that girl (now 14) has a glorious afro.

I have a foster child who’s African American and my fiancé and I have done extensive research and tried to find a salon or barber shop that could give us more advice on how to keep her hair nice. We eventually had to go to another city an hour from where we live to get any help. It’s some bull shit.

Shout out to John's black writers because I know they worked overtime this week teaching him concepts like laying edges. You could tell how proud of himself he was for nailing those jokes lol
