Lame excuse, tattoos were too, this isn't 1999 anymore, that excuse flies right out of the window. 2018 corporate world looks like this.
Bleaching is c00ning, double eye lid is c00ning, how come bone straight weaves aren't?

OP,
if this is a legit thread, I'd like to know whether you mom worked outside the home and how did she wear her hair to work?

African, yes, natural. Afro. Braids. Right now she has long curly.

I don’t argue with niqqas on the Internet anymore
My mom never had a weave but I think the chemicals fukked her shyt up so she had it cut twice.. still never wore a weave. She’s almost 50 and loves her hair. Hasn’t straightened it in maybe 20 years
Sister never wore a weave either. And me and my bro are dreadheaded boys
So I’m not marrying a weave chick

if it's so difficult to manage, how come black men don't seem to have a problem?

Black men do not receive the same shame or societal and family pressures on their hair. When I grew my hair out my mom didn't really care. But when my sister did it was a whole issue for the family. I remember Gabby Douglas at the Olympics, people on black twitter were coming for her edges because they weren't "laid right" or whatever. Men get bad treatment in corporate America but for women it permeates all levels of life.
I try to get and encourage women to go natural but I understand there's a lot of pressure to confirm to European beauty standards.
Tattoos had the same problem, but apparently it stopped no one. I am very sure many christian mothers went crazy when they started seeing the youth tatting, eventually, the noise just stopped. As for Gabby, she got shyt for the sloppiness of her eurocentric hair, I highly doubt if she wore her hair like this black women would be talking, probably asking what oils she uses like
tired of the "I hate black women" support group coming up in here everyday making the most inane threads pretending they're trying to have a legitimate conversation when what they really want to get together with their internet buddies and bytch about women
if you aint trying to discuss and learn, keep this retarded shyt in your diary

Never chemical, never weave, never hot comb, never wig, never relaxed or jheri curl?
I ask because the thread might be valid on face value, but when you start dismissing the corporate culture and its effect, I have a hard time believing you.
Are you old enough to have watched the Living Single tv show?
since you said thst you remember mom rocking an afro...i'd guess that you are old enough.
they had Kyle working as a bigwig in financial services industry in NEW YORK, with twists.
hope things have changed but that was completely unrealistic.....and that was for men

Tattoos are shamed in a different way. The affects of what you were born with being considered less than and inferior are not easy things. Especially when they come from both black people and white people.
As far as Gabby, she was shamed for the exact opposite reason, because her roots were nappy. They weren't "laid" right or whatever. She's an Olympic gymnast wearing her hair in a easy protective style but people decided to clown her hair. Women have a lot of pressure to not be "nappy headed" and whatnot. Internalized racism is a thing I don't fault them for it. So I spread my hair care routine hoping to inspire a big chop and self love.

As a black man who has had long natural hair past shoulder length before I can tell you that this is a lie.
You think that stuff is cheap here or something?
Not to say some don't, they do, but many of them are kids following trends. Older crowd, not so much.Here's a picture of rwandan women.
Basically, you see more natural than bone straight, its something like 80% natural, but in America, I noticed it's 90% eurocentric, the complete opposite from Africa (not sure about Nigeria)
I never said corp didn't have an effect, I said present day, it shouldn't and gave tattoos as an example. You can also put that corp on the summer jam screen on social media, which many people are. Social norms of today are much different than they were yesterday. Present day we known to put the foot down and yell "this is how it comes out of my scalp, making me burn it or wear a hair hat should be illegal" and threaten legal action. Hell, I say do it intentionally and HOPE someone says something so you can collect a fat check. It's america, you people sue for everything, get in on it.

The Gabby Douglas dragging was unfair & it came from out of shape & pre diabetic women who haven't exercised since gym class in school.
How would they relate to the effects of physical activity on hair? F*ck them.

People need to understand that natural hair demands alot of maintenance and can wear you down with all the products you have to use to keep it looking decent. Plus you have your daily life you to focus on as well in between.So I don't fault bw that much when they don't choose not to rock it that often.
Precisely, I know some women just don't know how to do their hair, their mothers failed them because in the past they had to conform, but in todays age when you can youtube a tutorial, there's no more excuses. The trend needs to start, NOW.
Beauty standards impact women more than men this has always been a thing. Not saying black men do not receive pressure with hair (because I have some family members who tell me to cut mine, my mom also used to suggest texturizers) but the pressures women receive are magnified.
