I need authors to stop writing things like “she brushed her thick curly hair” & “she pulled a comb through her curls,” because no she didn’t. Unless the next sentence is “and it frizzed up like backcombed poodle,” she did not do that. This is not how curly hair works, so stop it. #NicheGripe

Here's my JAMC poem for you.
They backcombed their hair
They backcombed it lots
They knelt on the floor
On Top of the Pops
And made my dad say
'Are they on drugs?'
They backcombed their hair
They backcombed it lots
They knelt on the floor
On Top of the Pops
And made my dad say
'Are they on drugs?'
