    Although I am white (looking) I have unruly curly hair and I spend a great deal of time trying to make it look nice for the workplace. Many of my female black collegues wear their hair in a neat, well kept but natural style and no one seems to care. I can understand that you may feel that relaxing your hair is denying your heritage but I’ll let you in on a white girl secret … we straigten our hair too.

    I also think it had to do with what products were like when they were young. My mother would not dream of going out without her slip and is appalled that I often wear dresses without one. She can’t understand why her clohes no longer come with dress shields! (In the days before everything was machine washable, people only washed their clothes every 10 wearings, so to keep them from smelling they wore little cotton pads in their arm pits to absorb sweat. These pads were washed every day.)
