Search Results: short hair styles

Isn't straight hair considered better then curly hair? I heard that curly hair was considered bad so why do I get more compliments then her? You see my mom used to perm my hair all the time but when it was permed no one said it was pretty or anything. In middle school I stopped getting perms because my hair was short. It grew back but my parents are disappointed that I didn't want to perm my hair now that it's down my shoulders. My family ( and most black people with curly hair) say that straight hair is better and curly hair is ugly. But when it grew out and was styled differently suddenly I'm getting compliments on my hair but my sister doesn't and she has straight hair. Why? Isn't her hair better since its straight by society standards? I even see people trying to have hair like mine and I'm shocked because I thought my hair texture was suppose to be ugly. I'm confused.. Even from strangers I'm getting them? :/

My dad told me bluntly that he's getting sick and tired of be wearing that wig I need to start wearing my real hair again and I look very good with short hair. He said, "We're going to fix you up. Get rid of that stupid wig and embrace your African American roots."
I like my wig and my hair is too nappy, even after shampoo, condition it and comb it. I'm thinking about wearing twisty braids in my hair. My aunt said that would be nice but I can also twist my real hair because it's going to be hot in the summer and suggest me to wear then in the winter. That's HER opinion. Why do people keep telling me I look good with short hair? I appriciate the compliments but I wanna style my hair and I look like a man since I have broad shoulders and I'm tall. I don't wanna look like a dude. I'm an adult and i can wear my hair how I want.
