As a mother I care a lot about my daughter's self image, I want her to love herself inside and out and always remember that she is precious and unique. She's a special treasure! This is what I think about when someone asks me if I would ever allow my daughter to relax her natural hair. My answer is always, no not while she is a child but, she can once she is an adult if that's her choice.
I wouldn't be disappointed if she relaxed her natural hair as an adult but, I would be hurt if she grew up hating her curly hair. I want her to like or at the very least accept every part of her outer appearance. I grew up hating certain features I had and I wasn't as self-confident as I could/should have been. I don't want her to go through that.
With that said, I think me having natural hair as well will help her appreciate hers but, if I did have straight hair via a relaxer or naturally, I would still be sure to let my daughter know her hair is beautiful. I don't think a mother who relaxes is sending a bad example to her daughters unless she were to degrade their curly hair. Although I am a mother, I still have my own preferences for myself. If in the future I want to relax my hair, that would have nothing to do with my daughter and I would still see curly hair as beautiful.
