stop telling black girls that they need to flat iron their hair straight for certain events like a prom or something formal. stop telling black girls that their natural hair in its natural state can’t be formal or professional.

I’m a teacher who chaperones all of the dances, and I’m always so happy when I see my students rocking their natural hairstyles. Beauty should not be defined by one standard, and high schoolers go through enough B.S. without having others police their hair.
