Sometimes I'll change up my look just because I feel like doing something different, to feel fresh, and there is nothing unhealthy about that. But here is a confession: When I straighten my hair is it's usually when I don't feel I can shoulder any more, and I do it so other people will treat me nicer, To make things easier for myself.
Because even if it's not on purpose, people are nicer to pretty people.
I resent myself for dressing up for doctor's appointments so they take my health problems seriously instead of saying, "it's just stress." When I dress up, they try to see "how we can help you."

While conducting a social experiment, with curly hair in a grocery store I have to chase down associates to ask for help finding something. With straight hair, I was standing in an aisle comparing jars of salsa and someone shelving asked if they can help me find anything. I'm sure the associate didn't mean to not ask someone with curly hair, but that's usually how it works out.
In the malls I am prime target for people calling out to sell hair straighteners, because boy I must need one.
The worst compliment I've ever received is "you'd look really pretty with straight hair", or with "makeup." And then when I do straighten my hair, "Have you considered doing this all the time?"
The most upbuilding criticism, "I liked it better curly."
I hate that when the rain pours and this all goes out of my control and the glam is gone, that is when people stop asking "can I help you?"
