This show was and still is watched by millions. I'm glad we've progressed a little bit.

"During her interview with "ET," Mowry reflected on the ways that Hollywood has evolved in its treatment of Black women and revealed that she always felt like she didn't have many Black role models to look up to in her industry.

“I would feel insecure about my hair because being young and being in this business, I never saw girls like me. I never saw girls that, you know, were embracing their curls or I never saw curly hair being portrayed as beautiful,” she said."

LOL the 90s were ROUGH on curly hair. It was that sleek straight hair or gtfo!!

Nice to curls get their day in the sun now compared to before but there is still more to be done.

i loved them on sister, sister in part because of their beautiful natural curls so rewatching it now makes me kind of sad that at some point during the series they transition into always having sleek straight hair

I relate to them cause I had curly too and it took years to embrace it.

I remember being sad when they started having straight hair on the show. I loved their natural hair

For some reason, I don't think it's Seventeen. I could be wrong.

Yeah, I don't think it's Seventeen. I remember them having Tyra Banks covers.
