Thanks to social media, today’s teenagers can become overnight stars.
One popular topic of conversation?
Chelsea’s curly hair.
However, if you see her nowadays, you might never know she had a head full of curls.
In the image above from July 1992, the family is celebrating at the Democratic National Convention.
Happy 4th of July!
However, you’re able to tell that her style matured with her age.
She’s got a shorter cut here and tighter ringlets.
As reported in a 1992Los Angeles Timesarticle, commentary ranged from unkind to straight-up cruel.
This was apparently intended as praise for her relatability, but how you take it is up for debate.
Meanwhile, one critic stated, “America is in shock.
Your daughter is uglier than Amy Carter,” referencing former President Jimmy Carter’s daughter.
Despite the negativity, Chelsea continues to hold her head high.
It’s a fair point that commentary about kids should be off-limits.
As seen in the image above from 2004, the blonde-ish locks lost their curls.
Years later, she explained the style transformation to Elle and it doesn’t sound entirely intentional.
I miss my curls."
The former first daughter isn’t the only one to experience this phenomenon either.
As for whether people believed Chelsea’s explanation … well, more on that in a bit.
For her big day, Chelsea wore her hair smoothed back in an elegant updo underneath a white veil.
Of course, her famous politician parents were present at the nuptials.
During her aforementioned Elle interview, the mom even pondered about whether her kids would inherit her looks.
She joked, “I should apologize to her now.”
She had grown into her celebrity, with flowing, straight hair and a permanent strawberry glow.
Chelsea told Elle magazine … her curls just naturally subsided, an affront to frizzy-haired women everywhere.
I also happen to know her New York hairdresser and a keratin job when I saw it."
Here’s an easy one: I’ve never gotten hair keratin treatment."
“All I can say is that I’m very well-sourced.
I checked all of my facts,” Chozick said to Rolling Stone.
