I like her curly hair the best. She's still beautiful with both though.

Disagree. I think it's a shame that it's such a rarity to see black women in Hollywood with curls nowadays. Thandie Newton is another one who wears her hair naturally.

It's a shame Kerry Washington relaxed her hair.

It's an ordinary high school day. Except that it's not.

I like her better with her natural hair.

Neutral. She looks good either way.

I don't think her hair is chemically straightened.

I read in an interview that she used to relax her hair, but not any more. From Allure:
Her biggest hair mistake: “I used to relax my hair, and I don’t anymore. But I wouldn’t even call that a mistake. It is hard on the hair. But I don’t believe in judgment. Like, I wouldn’t say that somebody who relaxes her hair is making a mistake.”

Although her hair looks great straight or curly, I'm proud that she chooses to wear her natural curly hair often. It seems that (some) non-blacks don't care for black natural hair...which is normally some type of curl. Some people are more comfortable when blacks wear their hair straight because it is more of a European standard.

Her curly tresses are better.

Her face is so beautiful I don't think it matters. She looks good with both, and that's not me avoiding the natural/relaxed curls debate. I thought the same thing while watching "Undercovers" and "Beyond the Lights."
