In S3E07 "The Hair Switch Project" Sydney decides to say farewell to 'Clampy' and stop straightening her hair, and embrace her natural Black girl magic cute. She learns that her mother Alisha had to convince her mother (Sydney's grandmother) Maya that she likes her hair as it is and didn't want to change it to fit in with white people.

Maya: "Alisha, you are not the only person that hates relaxers, but it's the price we pay for beauty!"
Alisha: "That's the point. Why does straightening your hair make you look beautiful?"
Maya: "Well, it's not just about the beauty, honey. It's more neat and professional."
Alisha: "When you say 'professional,' do you mean to fit in with white people?"
Maya: "Sweetheart, as a lawyer in a mostly white firm, I have always straightened my hair."
Alisha: "But why?"
Maya: "It's more accepted. And looking presentable is one of the many reasons why a person advances in their career. And I don't ever want your hair to hold you back from success."
Alisha: "But what if I don't care about fitting in? My hair doesn't define me or my success. Besides, I like the hair that grows out of my head. I am who I am. When I get relaxers, I feel like I'm losing a piece of me."
Maya: "I didn't know you felt this way."
Alisha: "I do."
Maya: "Wow. I guess I've put my views onto you, and I am sorry for that."
Alisha: "I know you did it with good intentions, but I'm proud of my natural hair. And if that intimidates someone, then they can..."
Maya: "Ah! Ah! Ah! Don't go there, little girl! I am so proud of you for loving the skin you're in. And if I haven't said it before, you are an incredible daughter, and I learn from you every day."
