Thanks for this important article about facts every girl needs to know! I wish someone had told me this 70 years ago when I was a teen (but in those days we were even more entrenched in keeping women down than ever). I'm emailing it to my granddaughters - it says everything much better than I ever could, and will be received more objectively than from a mother or grandmother. Keep keeping us up to date, Dr. Jo!!
This means so much Cassie! It's exactly why I write even though I also have a day job :) You'll find much more of this in my book when it comes out in Sept. I'm so excited for people like you who are going to raise a generation of amazing girls!
I've been fighting the urge to buy a product for my wild, frizzy hair. One day at the grocery store, a man from India (different cultural perspective) randomly stopped, turned to me, and said, "I really like your hair." Then he kept walking. He was being nice, not creepy. It was a solid reminder that how my hair "looks" is a matter of opinion. If this man likes my hair, why can't I?
Thanks for your comment! Somehow I missed it. Uncreepy spontaneous compliments from strangers are the best aren’t they? I’m a curly girl and i’ve been using product for so long it hasn’t even occurred to me to stop. Hmm, I’ll need to think about that…
Yes, they are great! I cannot claim to know the ills of curly girl hair, but I have had hair issues from our hard water. Do you have any experience with that particular issue?

As a new girl mama, I appreciate this post more than you know! Thank you! Going to keep coming back to this as I raise her.
