Don't know if anyone else clocked it on the BBC News, Ad campaign for 'Natural Hair' started by a mother to tell her daughter to embrace the hair she has....
Has the mother never been to boots... hair straighteners are on the shelf next to curling tongs... it's the nature of women to want the opposite hair to what they have got, especially young ones who are breaking free of what their parents thought was cute... |

My 9 year old asked for highlights told her she has to wait a couple of years but if that's what she wants it's not the end of the world! I'll wait for a more outrageous request to say no to and I'm sure they'll be plenty she's my daughter lol |

My daughter, grows and cuts her hair pretty much on a permenant cycle, straight or curly every other week, and a different colour most months.
If I didn't have pictures of her as a young child I probably couldn't tell you her natural hair colour, though it was purple last week, don't think that was natural
That's a lot of why I was amused at a mother starting a natural hair campaign aimed at getting her daughter to keep it natural  |

"I like having the choice to either embrace my curls or go straight.. parents should teach them they can look good both ways"
Almost, Parents should teach that experimenting is fun, but you need to compromise for employment.
Hair is very important to women, I learned just how important when going through Chemo, the women were very self-concious / devistated by the hair loss, Personally I was OK until my eyelashes fell out. |

Yeah I think its common sense that hair colour is something to experiment at college or uni as you would most things and if your job allows it keep on doing so but the norm for work & school should be explained.
What i dont get is parents who see it as an outrage if their curly haired child wants it straight for a day!
Yeah my mum cried both times she lost hers, heck i cry if too much of my hair is cut its weird but there is something empowering and gives you confidence if you feel happy with your hair |

Even in the 40s/50s hair was permed and curlers used. Besides it's not just a female thing, men dye their hair and gel if etc too. Grecian 2000, Bryl cream. |

My neice is approaching her 16th birthday and when she finishes her gcse's she is planning on experimenting with hair colours. She is a natural blonde and is thinking of starting off dyeing it blue.
She is a very bright young lady and wants to have fun with her appearance while she is at college and university before she has to conform for the workplace. |

It's a very human trait to no be happy with the status-quo (I don't mean the band). Whilst to some it may seem sad, to others it is the reason we don't still live in caves and hunt bison for food.
In my opinion, "what if" is the seed of progress.

 I liked hunting Bisson for food
Going to give my daughter a good telling off, if she had only left them crimping irons on the shelf herds of bisson would still be roaming the downs... 
But yeah rebellion is crucial part of growing up, and hair is a great flag to show you are doing just that. |
