Thanksgiving a.k.a. WWIII took place at my family's so-called Turkey Day. I need some opinions here ladies. I just got off the phone with my aunt who has three little girls (11, 9, 7). All four of them are natural. My aunt is a 3b/3c mix and her children are 4a.
Anyway, my aunt went to T-Day dinner at my great aunt's home. The oldest wanted her hair pressed so she tried (still hasn't gotten the hang of it). Plus it was rainy so basically it was frizzy and poufy. Upon arrival, my great-aunt laid into her hiney about bringing her out in public so "nappy".
OFFENSE #1: Enjoying turkey while nappy.
The younger two had a modified twistout (she tried). My great-aunt then said they should never be in public either with "their naps showing."
OFFENSE #2: Showing your naps in public.
She then told my aunt that her wash-n-go is unprofessional and unless she has a certain type of hair, "Who told you that it's ok for you to wear your hair wet? You're not white."
OFFENSE #3: Wearing wet curls while not white.
My aunt replied that she co-washes and it's doing wonders for all of their hair. Well that really set her off then!
OFFENSE #4: Not using shampoo.
Well all h3LL broke loose after that. She immediately had the oldest girl escorted upstairs to have a thorough scrubbing followed by a press and curl. No deep condition, no rollerset, no braids, no ponytails, nada. A good old-fashioned press. She then told my aunt that she needs to immediately relax all of them (my aunt included) since she is so "lazy that you don't even shampoo every wash!" She said when you relax you don't have to do anything to your hair at all -- "it's what lazy women do."
What in the world????
You can only imagine how much worse it stemmed from there....but that's the meat and potatoes of the conversation. I need your opinions ladies -- has my great aunt gone off the rocker or did she make some valid points??
