Messy Hair “My sister was so annoyed. She kept saying that my hair is messy and dry, and it should put some cream,” my mom said. “Your hair does look messy. She cares you for saying that. She wants you to look clean,” I said. Mom kept silent, then she put some cream on her hair. Mom finally understood her sister’s words. Everyone embraces sweet words; however, sweet words are like colorful mushroom. They often have poison. Honest words are like knives. They cut your heart. You feel angry and said by honest words; however, they can make you change to a better person. Sweet or honest words? it is your choice.

Messy Hair

“My sister was so annoyed. She kept saying that my hair is messy and dry, and that I should put some cream on/in it,” my mom said.

“Your hair does look messy. She's only saying that/telling you that because she cares about you. She wants you to look clean,” I said.

“Your hair does look messy," I agreed. "But she's only saying that because she cares about you. She wants you to look clean."

Mom kept silent, then she put some cream on her hair. Mom finally understood her sister’s words.
Everyone embraces sweet words; however, sweet words are like a colorful mushroom. They often have poison as well. Honest words are like knives. They cut your heart. You feel angry and saddened by honest words; however, they can make you change to a better person.

Sweet or honest words? It is your choice.

 

I'm not 100% sure what hair cream is or what you're talking about so I'm not sure if you can only put hair cream "on" your hair or "in" it too.

I understand what you're trying to say by "She cares you for saying that." but it is not quite correct or natural. There are some different ways to express this meaning.

In gray, is a different way I might use quoting.

You need "a" before "colorful mushroom".

You might want to add "as well". Your sentence is okay but adding "as well" emphasizes seeming sweet but being poisonous. In the same way, the mushroom seems colorful and inviting but is also poisonous. It shows more contrast "It's sweet (so you expect it to be very nice) but ALSO it has poison (which is very different than you would have thought)." 

I think you meant "sad" instead of "said". Since you have "by" following "sad", it should be "saddened". "Angry" could remain angry or change to "angered", with a slight change in nuances. I would keep "angry". 

Capatilize the "i" in "It".
