The Black Panther star says her mother was initially “horrified” and “disapproving” of her big chop.
FYI, Lupita's down with the term “kinky” when it comes to her own texture. “Some people don’t like that term, but when I think about my hair, I think of it as African kinky hair,” she told Allure.

“It took styling it once a week and then having it retouched once a month,” she said. “I remember doing crazy things, like sleeping with my head above the headboard so that my curls wouldn’t get messed up for the next day. I’d have these terrible neck aches because I was determined to keep my hair as pristine as possible.”

Lupita's parents had very different reactions to the surprise big chop. Her father didn't even notice at first and was amused that she took his advice literally: “We had a good laugh about it.” Her mother, on the other hand, was initially “horrified” and “disapproving,” but eventually came around. “I remember once when I was dressed up for church, she actually said, with a very quick mouth, 'You look nice.'” she said. “That was so good to hear.”

“Even in Kenya — you’d think we are predominantly African and black out there —
but when I finally had my hair natural, the hairstylist that I had been going to for so long with my relaxed hair didn’t know what to do with my natural hair and just kept offering me different chemicals to put in it,” Lupita said. “In the end I was like, 'Why don’t you know?' And he was like, 'We don’t learn how to do natural hair in school.' Now, of course, things have really changed.”
