A nuanced conversation about the biases against natural hair

The salesfolks at those hair-tools kiosks in the mall have literally pounced on me and tried to drag me over to straighten my hair. Of course, they’re over there curling all the straight-haired ladies. I have 3A curls, but I’m suuuper white so my hair is really fine. When it’s straight I look like a drowned rat. The curls are the only thing that give me any volume.

There’s a fine line between “stringy” and “frizzy” for me.
