Ciara Nixon, a junior from Danville studying forestry and environmental sciences, styles her hair Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016, at her house in Carbondale. I have, in the past, been looked down upon and judged for my funky curls, Nixon said. When I was in the fourth grade, I begged my mom to pay for a perm to make it straight like white girls hair. She said throughout junior high she straightened it because she was uncomfortable with the nappy look. It wasnt until college that I let my natural curls back out, she said.
