I was planning to follow this guide. Is this pretty accurate?
So, this is the MC (Khadija) and her Mom (Naomi).
As you can see, her mom is definitely not a Natural Hair girl. In the first chapter, we learn that MC has only been allowed to keep her hair in braids while she was at school, but her father (an American politician) has an important event coming up and her mom fully expects MC to get her hair chemically processed for it. But, some other stuff happens along the way where MC is separated from her family for most of a week and is with a more comfortable and loving household. The reader’s ability to take the braids out is actually a choice I’m giving them, but I want to represent it right. What will her mom do when she sees her hair out in full Natural Afro? Well, that remains to be seen.
