The story

Insisting she look perfect at all times, Violet's mother Paulette works diligently to straighten her natural hair. Violet struggles with her mother's perspective until her hair becomes naturally wild and frizzy after jumping into a pool; when the other children begin to ruthlessly tease her, a horrified Paulette rushes her home. As an adult, Violet is seemingly perfect: a successful advertising executive, she has a doctor boyfriend Clint and wears her hair long and straight with great effort.
