Because of his hair, he gets to compliment.

So I had to pull people to the side and say, if you're going to compliment my son on his hair, you need to compliment my daughter first, you know, because she's just looking so pretty.

You know, she's a little girl.

And, you know, so it's just that type of, you know, mental thing with hair.

You know, bad hair, good hair, nappy hair, and...

Just nothing was positive about our hair.

You know, and I wanted people to see some positivity.

We were told that once the new growth comes out, oh, you got to get a perm.

You got to straighten that hair out.

So black women didn't even know they had curls.

They had no idea because they would become grown and had never seen their hair, their natural hair pattern.

So, you know, with the Natural Hair Show, we were able to educate women on, you know, different curl textures, curl patterns, how to take care of them.

So, yeah.

Yeah, that's true.

To get strong.

It just came out of your scalp.

Like, it's new hair.

Right.

And he get a chance to curl.

Right, right.
