Black men how do we convince black women to love their natural hair?

[Arishok]

But to not troll @KOOL-AID I'll say this


I had a relaxer up until my sophomore year of college. I wasn't really aware of the whole natural vs. Relaxed thing and never looked at an afro with disgust. For me the afro was outdated, something people did in the 70s. Plus my main concern has always been (and always will be) long hair. I just love long, thick, voluptuous hair

When I finally decided to go natural, it was simply because I wanted to see my natural hair texture and what it looked like. It wasn't some "journey" or a means to attract any type of men or even for pro blackness. It was simply curiosity. When I did the big chop it was weird because like I said before I love long hair so I did wear wigs for a while. Then I dyed my TWA and it looked so I kept cutting it short. Now I'm growing it out trying to reduce my shrinkage and in the mean time wearing natural hair extensions. I love my hair texture, the versatility, everything but then length for now.

All I'm saying is, black women will go natural when they feel comfortable, nothing anyone does will steer them toward it

I wish they could see how much hair comes out when I have to wash and detangle

Thats why I wash it and put in french braids and save the twist/braid outs for special occasions.

Yes, most never deal with more than an inch of natural hair, so they have no idea of the maintenance. And if you are lazy and/or untalented in the hair department your hair WILL look tragic.

i did put the blame on white supremacy, the question is when will BW? let y'all tell it, white men love natural hair and black men are the reason why so many of yall hate natural hair.

Didn't you just say that a lot of black men don't like natural hair? So which is it? Do you or don't you?

 

[KOOL-AID]

some of yall females must be trollin foh with that "they only care about mix breed hair....3a/3c.....rah rah rah" bullshyt. I have yet to see one of yall actually say that this is indeed an issue and dat is sad.

Studies show we have the most self confidence & in the end that's more important than how we wear our hair.

its false bravado, likened to black males hyper-masculinity. take off their hair hats, nails, makeup, clothes, and you're left with an insecure woman.

Could you post examples of this type?

Just look in the post your ideal wife thread

u must be trollin or blind, i see plenty nikkas with thick ass hair (more than an inch), and who are u to say that they dnt do any maintenance on it?
edit- are u tlkn bout men or women?

I always try to talk to natural women about thier hair and tell them it looks nice, that's so damn sexy to me when they wear it like that and it's a BIG and natural style.

They tell me that usually only white men tell them it's nice.

I love sisters with natural hair though.

But, didn't you just say in the other thread.....maybe I'm not understanding u?

When I was younger my hair was long

How is it unrealistic to refrain from a behavior that isnt beneficial to black women in the long run?

We need some discipline among our people especially when it leads to advancement of our race.

Weave does exactly what you want black women to do. Besides low manipulation only leads to more length in hair. How does that advance our people? Can they not be just as advanced with short natural hair?

The black woman's self esteem is in tact

There are many examples that show otherwise but OK

Worried about fukking weave and we can't even get our shyt together as a collective. This is why white supremacy is kicking our asses. SMH.

why do yall still try to peddle a lie in 2015? we can all see all the manipulation yall are doing to your hair doesnt benefit BW. this is why black males that wanna grow our hair can actually do it.
