Family + Curls = Big Mess

   I think this is totally ridiculous and ignorant of your parents 

(not too mention old-fashioned) but unfortunately this is not the 

first time I have heard something along these lines. 

When I first met my the women who were to become my 

mother-in-law and sister-in-law, my sister-in-law told me that 

whenever she wore her hair naturally curly her mother told her 

it looked trashy. The problem is, I have naturally curly hair that 

is almost identical to the sister's! Imagine how I felt when I 

heard this, this woman is looking me over with a fine-tooth 

comb so I was nervous enough, but then to find out she detests 

curly hair, that was the icing on the cake. What is even worse is 

my husband disliked curly hair as well. When we first met the 

few times I would wear it naturally curled, he always�said it 

looked "frizzy or fuzzy." Now he is so used to seeing me go au 

natural that I think it has grown on him, although I know he 

would still probably prefer me to have stick straight� flatironed 

hair (every single one of his exes had the same hair). Some 

people just have a thing against curls, I personally don't see 

what the big fuss is about.
