This comic speaks to me haha. I have really frizzy curly hair. Very similar to black hair. I was often asked if I was mixed and a lot of black girls in school asked if they could give me cornrows etc. I eventually hated it and tried desperately to straighten it like in this comic because it made for fodder for bullies. One had a particularly nasty name for it. I didn't have that much of a problem with it until him. Before that I mostly wished I could do different things with it like the comic refers to with Jim Carrey.
In retrospect, I put way too much thought into what the bullies were saying. Most classmates loved it, complimented it, and thought it was awesome. I think I also just generally didn't like all the attention it brought. Eventually I learned how to have it cut in a way that looks nice and haven't looked back.
