…Fallaw says her curls have power and give her confidence. This past week, we was told by the powers that be at Woodlands Elite Cheer that she would need to straighten her hair, like all of her teammates during competitions.
“Just a few weeks ago is the first time I had heard about a special hairstyle,” said Makayla’s mother Jenny. “I felt like I might make my daughter feel like her hair is not good enough because she’s not like other girls.”
Fallaw said she sent an email and took a meeting with the owners and cheer director to explain.
“It would destroy her hair, so I wanted to explain to them my reasoning,” said Fallaw.
Kevin Tonner said he was ready to compromise with Fallaw in that meeting to keep her on the team.
