It's starts during childhood. My sister hasn't been allowed to put any chemicals in her hair or wear any kind of hair hats while she's living under my parents house. She watches all the little youtube videos on how to care for her natural hair and I can tell she has a positive relationship with her god given features. To be fair, her hair isn't as kinky as most but still Black people hair.
Do This If You Want More Black Women to Wear their Real Hair

It's not White people hair, though, and I'm sure those with kinkier texture would grow to have better attachment with their natural hair if they were raised and informed early on how to deal with it
The book is still in copyright, so I can't link to the entire text.
But you can preview and purchase it from Google Books: http://books.google.com/books?id=WQAZAgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=the science of black hair&hl=en&sa=X&ei=mvGtUp_QHpGJqQG5zIDgDw&ved=0CEEQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=the science of black hair&f=false
Or, you can just head to your local library (or go to their website), fill out a purchase request form, and get it from there.

Didn't you say your family is something like multigenerational mixed? That might also have something to do with it, it's easier to accept.

That's why I said to be fair
I still think if the mother isn't getting kool-aid colored candy paint weaves and fine textured hair hats plus prohibited their daughters from going to the salon's at an early age and instead made them look at youtube videos on how to actually care for their natural hair first, then Black women would be better off for it. I'm not a woman so I can't understand they psychology behind it so maybe I should shut up 
That's one thing I respect about the white race. White men are like "you want me to make a certain amount a year to be with you, you gotta be in shape and look good" and white women, for the most part, comply. Same way the women go "
But when you get to the black race it's totally different. Black women act like successful black men shouldn't have standards on how he wants his woman to look and get offended. Black men act like beautiful, in shape black women also can't have demands of wanting a man who makes a certain amount. It's like the black race is against a certain "give and take" rule.
As I've matured, I've noticed this. Broke dudes want fine women to fall over them because they're "good". 
want men to fall over them because they're "successful". Nah brehs and brehettes. And like Spoonz said, you can't tell black women to stop wearing weave if they're attracting men with it. Just the same you can' tell black men to stop being thugs when it attracts women.
Its a free fukking country, black women can do whatever the fukk they want.
My little sister is black(Not mixed in the slightest and darker skinned) and has hair past her shoulders and people sometimes give her shyt because they think she is wearing a weave when ITS HER OWN DAMN HAIR.
She doesn't obsess over, she doesn't lord it over others, she just wears it and accepts who she is. She gets pissed everytime people walk up to her, touch her hair and tell her she has that "good hair". The fukk is good hair? Be proud of what you have and stop expecting grass to be greener on the other side.
I don't get this obsession with everything having to be based around immitating white people. If a girl has straight hair, why is it considered "immitating European beauty standards" when they are just doing what they want.
THe dumbest part of this thing is that standards of beauty change from culture to culture and age to age. You guys are acting like its this monolithic block of what white people consider beautiful and that never changes. In the middle ages, tanned women signified poverty, low class and someone who was not of royalty. Pasty and covered in powder was the way to go. Now you can't even go on Facebook in the summer without a white woman bragging about tanning at the beach.
Notice how curly her hair is in this pic too.
Notice the short hair on most of the flappers...
Notice how thick she is
The 90s and early 2000s was anorexia season
Now this is in style
What is considered beauty changes from time to time because people change from time to time. Let black women create their own beauty and figure out for themselves what they want to attract men with. We as black men don't need to be telling them what to do what to do with themselves like we're their daddy or something.

Don't you think we should be the ones saying what want and don't want from women? Instead you're saying that women dictates what men should find sexy
If you would have done a post on how Black and African women of different diasporas ideal of beauty have changed over the centuries then your post would have been better for it. I can't really take it serious when you use White culture and women and apply it to Black people.

The bottom line is a lot of women are to lazy to care for their own hair so they use weaves and wigs so they don't have to fool with their hair for months at a time. Or they put relaxers in at the first sign of new growth. This is why a lot of women who wear their real hair out makes it look limp and weak.

Stop lyin' nicca.
I don't think black women are not informed about healthy hair and how to care for their natural hair. Most women know, some younger girls might now but I'm, very educated about how to care for my natural hair and I still wear weaves/braids.
Edit: And she has perm?
I haven't had a perm in years. Thats not her natural hair state.
