Hairy Business
Princess Onyx™ Hairy Business
Once there was a little girl named Jaydah who liked dressing up like a princess. She also loved spending time with her grandmother, Tata.
One day while playing dress up with her friends Zoey and Marissa, Jaydah found a long, black wig in her grandmother’s closet. She put the wig on and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked so pretty.
"I hate my hair!" exclaimed Princess Onyx.
"You have such beautiful hair," reassured Ruby, her Lady-in-Waiting, brushing the Princess’ hair into a ponytail.
"You're only saying that because I'm the princess,” Princess Onyx responded. “I like your hair. It's long and straight."
