Teased about my hair, Please help!!!!?

I am african american, and i like to straighten my hair sometimes. My friend is always making fun of me because I don't want to get it wet when i have straightened it. Plus it takes my like four hours to straighten it. So one day we were going swimming, and my mom forgot to braid it before we got in the pool. My friend kept saying i was missing all the fun by not going under water. She finnally decided to pull me under water. When i came back up me hair was all nappy, and it looked like a huge afro. I was so embarrassed and angry. She told me she new how long it took for me to do my hair, she just wanted to mess it up, and get me under water. Then when she left, my parents were going to take me some where special. But it would take to long for me to get ready so we did not go. MY hair looked even worse after she left. Also people are always asking me why I always have my hair in braides. What should I do?

I know it's hard because i too have SUPER curly hair and people always tease me about getting my hair wet but you can't Do ANYTHING about it. Curly hair is curly hair so learn to live with it and Flaunt it!! Don't listen to anyone, It takes me 2 hrs to straighten my hair, probably the other girls are jealous that they just have flat hair when curly haired girls have more style and flair. Just keep it curly!!!

It sounds like your friend is a bully. In the future, maybe you should wear a swim cap over your hair to protect it whenever you are around water.

If you want to keep it straight, you can get a perm for straightening hair. I'm not sure how long it lasts and the cost but I heard it works.
