Your accusation of racism is weird.
Chelsea Clinton DID have frizzy hair



I have this same hair. It's frizzy. It's not racist to say that.

She has frizzy Curly hair. With different products and styling at the time she could have had very curly much less frizzy hair. Now she probably gets keratin treatments and near daily blow outs.

Except she said she did not get Keratin treatment

I have hair like hers. If I simply braid my hair at night, I can touch it up with a flat iron in the morning and it doesn’t look frizzy or curly anymore. It’s more like thick straight slightly wavy hair. It’s literally less than 10 minutes to style it. When I was her age I hadn’t figured this out yet so my hair was always frizzy and messy.

I posted above about my teen daughter and, yes, the products and info on curly hair have come so far! HRC has super straight hair and probably didn’t know any of the tricks. I also have straight hair — DD got it from her dad who just buzzes it all off and has no sisters — and I went to a woman at work and pleaded for advice. She turned me on to Devacurl and all the styling advice on the internet. I love the curls when they look healthy—so happy we were able to find advice so my daughter can have beautiful bouncy curls not the frizzy matted mess she would have without proper care.

I'm part white, part Asian, and my straight hair suddenly became CURLY during puberty! I loved it! Sadly, it returned to its natural straight state as an adult. My teen son, who has an Asian father and is therefore 3/4 Asian, has wavy hair right now, when it was stick straight before - I told him to enjoy it because it's not going to last...

I assume that Chelsea had a super frizz episode as a teen, and as posters said, was making it worse by brushing. Now she's straightening, probably, but I suspect her natural hair is way less curly than it used to be.

There are SO MANY options that there is no way for us to know (we can of course speculate) what she did to her hair. Saying she outgrew it is extra - she could have just said she styles it with great products daily.

Middle aged white woman here. I'm a bit older than Chelsea but have hair just like this. Back then, I only picked/finger combed it when wet and used both an in-shower and a leave-in conditioner. Unless it was humid, I was able to avoid most of the frizz that way. You are spot on that products for curly hair have come such a long way. I still only finger comb/pick it when wet but have SO many more options now.

FWIW, my hair went super frizzy hair when I got my period. Tried straightening products and back then it just made it worse. So I started wearing it short. I started to let it grow in my 20s and found that I had hair that is half curly/frizzy and half straight.

+2 she’s just taking better care of it now and probably does straightening treatments as well.

Probably Japanese Thermal straightening. I have curly hair not quite as thick or tight curls as Chelsea, and in my early twenties, wanting to look “normal” I dropped hundreds in order to have straight hair, for once in my life. It took hours every time, gave me split ends, and cost a ton. Obviously not sustainable for someone not making a lot of money, but it is effective, and split ends could probably be mitigated by keratin or other strengthening treatments.

The prejudice against textured hair in looking “professional” is terrible. I’m lucky to be in a position now where my hairstyle doesn’t matter at all, but I feel for women who are affected by these expectations. Obviously Black women have had it the worst. I’m really happy about the Crown Act and I hope it leads to broad “hair acceptance” and compared to the way I remember things as a kid, it does seem to be that there are more women out there nowadays sporting dos that are in harmony with their natural hair texture and lifestyle.

Reckon thing? Please fill me in!

Yes! She reads DCUM and we all loved it and bought one! Why not Chelsea! Go Girl!

She was probably brushing it as a teen which is the worst thing you can do for curly/frizzy hair. My hair was completely different when I was in my teens, and I’m the same age as her.

She probably gets a straightening treatment. I know women who have done this for years because they were annoyed with their curly hair. Chelsea’s hair was super curly. I’ve only ever had straight hair, but mine seems easier to manage than long, curly hair. When I had a perm in the 90’s, brushing it was a hassle.

Or she could have liked having her hair natural.
Apparently now she wants it straight.

Either way it is her prerogative, just like anyone else.
