That being said, just because someone has kids with a non-black person doesn't guarantee that the children will have straighter hair than if both parents were black. I've seen plenty of mixed folks with high texture hair and black folks with silky hair.. it's all a genetic roll of the dice, and you get what you get. It's sad that there are still so many people with slave mentalities out there in this day and age..BekkaPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971810593410692392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021038164876668328.post-86181114003114710132009-05-16T07:31:00.000-07:002009-05-16T07:31:00.000-07:00Rosaxe!

Knowing how much the world/media mainly only values the "blue-eyed-blond" beauties, probably knowing how much it us unhealthy to support that. But two, to see that your daughter is getting a unhealthy fixation on the wig, and to continue to allow her to wear it. It is just very very confusing to me.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358587477853108371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021038164876668328.post-4428410627326644742009-05-16T01:45:00.000-07:002009-05-16T01:45:00.000-07:00One question I have is how did that little girl ge...One question I have is how did that little girl get a blonde wig? Did she watch Hannah Montana and beg for her mom to get her a wig? <br />Tyra's hair looks beautiful in cornrows. It shows off her face.<br />I thought the slavery thing was very interesting. I wonder why so much attention was focused on hair in those days because really even siblings can come out with different hair textures. I would think that skin and possibly eye color would be the only determinants to noting your lineage since they're the most obvious markers of distinction, but I guess not.Rosaxéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03554582235206727178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021038164876668328.post-76094484730567126452009-05-13T10:27:00.000-07:002009-05-13T10:27:00.000-07:00Stupid.

I want them to learn how to appreciate themselves the way the Lord made them. When they are older, they will understand that perms and other beauty aids are only meant to ACCENTUATE the beauty that you already have, not DEFINE it.Mrs. Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16919906363976858111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021038164876668328.post-83066373588841937532009-05-13T08:12:00.000-07:002009-05-13T08:12:00.000-07:00Thank you all for the great comments. Butterfly73 ...Thank you all for the great comments. Butterfly73 - I agree that ignorance is contagious. I just hope that with the mothers appearing on the show, that maybe they got an eye opener of their behavior and what it is doing to their girls. Caramel - I do agree that there should have been way more information provided on the show. But there is a little more info on Tyra's website (I plan to check it out today). I just really wish that Tyra would use her fame and publicity to show how beautiful natural can be. Her lace fronts are the not the only way she can rock her hair. She has a whole team of stylist and hairdressers. I am sure they could figure it out if Tyra really wanted to show her natural hair more often. Spiral_Loc - I think the mom just really needed a wake up call. Her putting a weave in her kid’s hair is ridiculous. But I don’t know if any one ever told her how harmful that is to her little girl’s image of who she is as a person. I hope that she also learned something from being on the show. Phette - very well said. It really does break my heart that people view natural hair wearers as troublemakers or as something bad. But with time, hopefully that way of thinking will change. I am happy to hear that you have come to a point were you understand and accept the power of your own natural beauty.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358587477853108371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021038164876668328.post-68831778115684338642009-05-13T06:40:00.000-07:002009-05-13T06:40:00.000-07:00wow! i missed the show but, like u, just hearing a...wow! i missed the show but, like u, just hearing about it saddens & upsets me. what i like about tyra's show is that she doesn't shy away from thought provoking & sometimes controversial topics. a while back she had a show that talked about names and how people are discriminated based on them. hair is no different. what's so unfortunate is that some view those with "kinky" hair as bold, brazen, and sometimes even troublemakers...i.e. refer to the angela davis era. it took me a while to get to where i am, but i'm glad that i'm here & glad that i've found support & other like-minded people who believe kinky hair is beautiful.PhePhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230337633884068152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021038164876668328.post-24307380031109144902009-05-13T06:36:00.000-07:002009-05-13T06:36:00.000-07:00Now, I don't even watch shows like this!

Based on those comments it sounds like Tyra didn't do the two things that are necessary for those kinds of topics. She didn't show women with healthy natural hair and she didn't offer up any education. Education really does change people's minds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021038164876668328.post-15836052462918144362009-05-12T18:16:00.000-07:002009-05-12T18:16:00.000-07:00I thought I was the only one who felt this way...I...I thought I was the only one who felt this way...I teared up when these lil girls talked about how nappy hair is lower class, how its ugly.
