Despite Tyra's usual well-intentioned drivel, the show definitely proved... interesting (really isn't saying much, is it?) I didn't expect it to be a deeply insightful discussion of the topic, but I was annoyed by the sensationalist checklist that obviously guided the casting of guests:
- Totally unaware, self-hating vain woman who thinks that her hair possessing "white girl flow" makes her hair amazing and that relaxers aren't harmful to hair (Shay)
- Somewhat aware, but woefully inarticulate woman who doesn't believe her natural is manageable or socially acceptable (Akiyah)
- Dreadlocked woman who is charged with discounting so many black hair myths that she inadvertedly (or is edited so that she) appears "militant" and defensive to those who aren't fully educated about natural black hair. (Kelly, from Nappturality)
- Woman who had a child with a non-Black man to produce child with "good hair" because she thinks nappy hair is low class(Shante)
- Child who has good hair and is teased for it (Kalaysia)
- White woman with biracial child who doesn't care to deal with her child's natural hair (Dawn)
- Black woman who relaxes her 3 yr old's hair because Raynasia's (the child) hair got nappy at 2 1/2 yrs old (Michelle)- Additional variants of above types
