Natural Hair

So today I went to the beauty supply store to look at some synthetic hair prices. While I was their the was an adorable  little girl,no more than 2 years old. She held a kid perm box in her hand, as she looked at the mannequins with wigs on. Her mom looked at her and said "honey, you dont need a perm  your hair is beautiful as is,mommy needs a perm because her hair is messed up" I thought that was so encouraging,but it also contradicted what she told her daughter. If the mom felt like she needed a perm, the daughter would copy what her mom did. It made me see how much beauty plays such a large role in society. What would you say to your  if your hair was permed and your daughters hair was natural in braids?
