[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do it because my daughter has natural hair that she gets straightened.  The slightest drop of rain will turn it to a frizzy afro.[/quote]

How can a child have hair that can never even get a drop of rain on it? Sounds extremely ridiculous.[/quote]

Seriously. The kid doesn't go outside at all if it's so much as drizzling because it will mess up her hair ?!  Way to encourage vanity & raise a prima donna, mom! Just buy her a hat to wear outside if it's that important to her. Or better yet, have her save up to buy it herself -- she might re-evaluate her priorities if you stop catering to this ridiculousness![/quote]

Obviously  you all are not AA.  Most AA women/girls who have natural hair that gets straightened will not go out in the rain if they can help it. And drizzle can be even worse. Has nothing to do with being a prima donna or vanity, it has to do with what water does to our natural hair that has been straighteded (meaning no chemical relaxer).  Lol, haven't you all wondered why most AA women don't swim or work out on a regular basis?  She does wear a hat but if it's warm that doesn't help. Will make our hair puff up.  Umbrellas also can be problematic. We just don't do rain or high humidity. So I'm picking her up in the rain.

Why doesn't she have a different hairstyle if she can't tolerate any moisture in the air?[/quote]
