You are right, this is a myth. The texture and color of the hair is determined under the skin, so it does not matter what you do above the skin, such as shaving. Mayo Clinic has a little blurb on this: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hair-removal/an00638.
Hope this helps. Enjoy your daughter's curls! Thank you for writing.
