THATS SILLY. STRAIGHTENING YOUR HAIR DOESNT MAKE YOU WHITE!

There's an entire industry of personal care products whose goal is to make you (and every other woman) feel bad about her appearance and then spend as much of her money as she can manage on their products.

One of the ways they do that is to encourage black women to envy straight hair. It's not about looking white, it's about not liking yourself and your appearance.

They do it to white women too. That's why we have pages of curling irons next to pages of hair straighteners, aisles of hair dyes and other products that are known to contribute to cancer, asthma and other health problems currently on the rise.

I don't think that you're trying to look white. We have more important things to worry about on this issue.
