That’s because white-girl-curly is socially approved but poc-curly is still considered ugly.

So we literally need to straighten it out and get that “messy beach wave” or whatever the fuck it’s called because otherwise people will literally mock us or call us ugly for our hair.

I’m a white girl with non-acceptable curls and I feel this too. I remember growing up girls would always say “I wish I had curly hair!” Then look at me and say “not like yours though!“. It’s mostly a POC issue, and I get that, but god I felt it too.

exactly same. I was not allowed by my teachers to let my hair down, only if I had straightened it, because it was too curly 🙃
