When I was a young girl, I wasn't always trying to have curly hair.

We moved in 8th grade, so 7th grade I was doing okay, and then 8th grade, everything fell apart. I had no fashion sense to speak of. We only had a couple of hair care products back then. We didn't have all these things to tame your hair. I had glasses; I had braces. I had it all.

Sixth grade was a big time, in my childhood, of hoops and friendship, and coming up with funny things.

I was teased up until high school about my hair, being short, my high pitched voice, and just anything you can think of.

I used to comb my hair back and do stupid stuff.

I used to be teased for the way I wore my hair at school. I used to do things like wear a different-colored sock on each leg.

I was a little chubby, rosy-cheeked kid.

I remember straightening my hair because I wanted to be like everybody else, and now the fact that anybody would emulate what I do? It's just funny.

When I was younger, I had pink underneath my hair, and I got detention. I went to an all-girls school where you wore a uniform, and pink hair was not OK.
