“All hair is good hair,” so said my bald-for-decades father. Sometimes he would say it with a self-admonishing chuckle, sometimes with such fierce emotion that he was boarding on anger. It depended on the circumstance. If someone were to compliment my long childhood ponytail by saying that I had “good hair,” he would state his correction gently. However, some of the worst of my parents’ arguments were after shampoo days, when my mother pulled out the hair straightening hot comb, heating the metal contraption on a stove burner. “You are teaching her to hate herself!” my father yelled. When a video of a young Meghan Markle with a long, kinky ponytail surfaced after her recent Oprah interview along with her husband Prince Harry, someone on Twitter said, “I hope we get to see THAT hair again.” Similar statements were made of Michelle Obama while she was serving as First Lady, but it wasn’t until after she left the White House did we see her natural curls.
