We went to the hair salon every six to eight weeks, without fail, to subject our scalps to harsh straightening chemicals beginning at a very young age -- sometimes eight, 10 -- that would result in hair loss, bald spots, sometimes even burns on the scalp.
Vi tog til frisørsalon hver 6. eller 8. uge, uden undtagelse, for at udsætte vores hovedbund for hårde udglattende kemikalier, startende i en meget ung alder - nogle gange fra 8, 10 år - som resulterede i hårtab, skaldede pletter, endda brandsår i hovedbunden.
