I have stereotypical dark brown ringlets associated with the “Jew-fro”. Many times growing up I had a variety of comments: “HAHA jewfro!!” “So you curl it everyday?” Combined with the fun occurrence every curly haired woman faces: the dreaded hand bursting through to feel my scalp. I got told it was ugly, and felt like the ugly duckling, always straightening my hair because that’s when it was considered most beautiful. It definitely is still a struggle of mine, especially accompanied by a very structured nose
