Do you see this with the little girls you know? My daughter, who is 12 is still going through this. I always let her know that her hair is beautiful and let her style it ALMOST any way she wants. I also let her go to the hair salon once a month, so she can feel girly/womanly special LOL This has been going on for years though. I've always had hair alittle past my shoulder length hair for as far back as she can remember, but she's got this thing about the little white girls she sees on TV, she wants their hair.
I want to share a story with you, it was kinda funny, but so sad- the things kids say: She used to go to the suburban YMCA with her Pre-school to go swimming, she had to be about 4 years old. She came home one day with her hair looking a MESS! She had taken off her swimming cap while she was swimming because she wanted her hair to flow LOL. What was upset. Not sad, but mad! She said to me in her little voice "Mommy, why when we were swimming the lady (a white lady who was teaching the kids to swim) came out of the water and her hair was down, but my hair sticked up?" Yes, she said sticked up! It was cute, but sad. She was serious about this because she wanted her hair to be "down" like the lady. Do you ladies have this issue with the little ladies in your lives?
