It was an ever-present source of anxiety to prove that I was just as well-groomed
as any white child. They would play, hair uncombed, no shoes, traces of everything they'd eaten
smeared on their faces, completely happy and oblivious to any possible defects
to their appearance. I, on the other hand, had to be fixed. wash, conditioner, and hot comb, until my hair was straight enough
to run her fingers through it without one snap, crackle, or pop. Ow!
