Mom records and takes pictures of me to embarass and humiliate me

[Rant/Vent, Advice OK]

It really bothers me and annoys me. She takes videos and pictures of my hair because she thinks it looks 'awful'. I have textured 4C hair and obviously I can't control that cuz I was born with it, it's just who I am. She constantly says 'it looks horrible' and that 'I look like a mental patient' and that nobody would hire me with hair looking like that.

She compares my hair with my siblings who have 'good hair' according to her and calls my hair nappy and gross. It has always made me insecure about my hair.

Now, even when we're in public, she will pull out her phone and get in my face, recording me and taking pictures of my hair even when I tell her to stop, she doesn't. It makes me so humiliated and makes me want to cry. She is my biggest bully and always has been.
