Do you remember the beautiful Black girls, who graced the cover of kiddie relaxer boxes back in the day? If you do not remember a quick stroll through the perm aisle at your local beauty supply store should jog your memory.
Twitter user @AshTheDonLeon was curious about their whereabouts and tweeted “Where are these girls today? Show yourselves” along with a collage of different perm boxes.

This tweet sent Black Twitter into a frenzy. We quickly learned that the children on the perm boxes are now adults and natural.
