Very thankful that my mother had the foresight to not perm my hair. She's dealing with fibroids now.

What do black men have to do with perms?
Black women style themselves based on trends and other women, not men’s opinion. Black men have been saying we don’t like the excessive make up, long eyelashes, and weave, yet that’s how the majority of young black women style themselves.

So women are wearing excessive tranny like make up and colored wigs because that’s what black men prefer?

She claimed women were getting perms because that’s what black men preferred. I’m saying they got perms because they liked them and wanted them. It has nothing to do with black men like or dislike.
OP, wait 10 years and see what all these BBL's gonna do to health. 
They're gonna blame black men for that too. They're just victims of trying to live up to European standards of beauty or some other dumb shytOP, wait 10 years and see what all these BBL's gonna do to health.
If America could blame anything else on black men, we'd have to pay reparations to ourselves...wait, that's been proposed....
Just hold your own nuts, and flex nuts when you can.
Other that, fukk with natural women. They're underserved...

Most of y’all aren’t walking around with locs, cornrows, fros, etc. Most of you don’t grow your hair out. The standard style for y’all is pretty conformist.Black men are black and also have black hair coming out their head
If more of you wore your hair like Frederick Douglass you might get the weird looks, the requests to “touch your hair”, etc.
Brothas who have locs will tell you the BS they dealt with and assumptions white folks (teachers, admin, employers, etc) made about them even like 20 years ago.
Hell, you have HS boys being forced to cut their hair before engaging in wrestling matches NOW.
Most dudes aren’t wearing these styles so they don’t understand.

The women who still get relaxers after 10 years of a robust natural hair movement aren't likely to change. That said, training up the children to love and take pride in their hair from a young age will(and has) helped. Also getting legislation in every state to prevent hair discrimination in schools and in the workplace is key.
10+ years ago I was the first woman in my family and friend group to go natural and they roasted my ass every chance they got. Today every single one of them is natural, whether they locced up or wear wigs they ain't using the creamy crack.

every time i see this type of study come out, this song plays in my head
millions of black people have died over hundreds of years over shyt that we think will ensure our survival. when it reality, we are so, so much better off without those things up to and including the song itself, ironically.

Somehow this is black mens fault, anything to escape self responsibility. Simply don't use the hair products and go natural then, no one is forcing you to use it.
