[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

Idk if this true alot got dreads in cali

Typically older cats keep short hair

 

[Eclipser]

Because once you get to 30 stops it growing nikka

Speak for yourself

A lot of our parents from the Caribbean are low-key white washed c00ns and made us cut our hair if it grew out longer than an inch.

What island are you from?

Most Caribbean kids had plaits and braids when they were kids

 

[SpacelySprockets]

ive had braids for half of my life and that shyt is a chore between being tender headed and having rough texture, id rather keep it short

You're being an idiot again, Carlton.

Our ancestors wore their hair in all kinds of styles include very short and bald.

I keep my hair short because it's low maintenance and I like the way it looks on me. I had long hair for a long time and I just enjoy how much easier it is to take care of shorter hair. I have a really sharp widow's peak that goes into my forehead a bit, so I don't get lineups. My haircuts be quick as hell.

I love having easy access to my scalp and not dropping hair in the bathtub all the time

I don't cut my hair for anyone else but myself.

If I didn't have these huge scars on my scalp I'd rock a baldy

There is some truth to this. A lot of carribeans will say that long hair on men is feminine. Even heard one say that we shouldn't grow afros because of police prejudice



And if some of y'all weren't aware, they are trying to ban locs in Jamaica.

 

[Swirv]

Personal preference. I love the cool sensation after a fresh baldie

 

[Genos]

I've been growing my hair for 5 years

 

[CrimsonTider]

A lot of my bytches like my hair short I grew my hair out last summer had a blow up didn't like the greasy ness and sweat so I went back to a Caesar this year I wear a lot of fitted so I jus like it better to

Actually the opposite

unless you got waves most black guys are rocking some form of a sponge fro or dreads

 

[Marci-Senpai]

I work for government...can’t grow it out

 

[Mr Bubbles]

This is what I suspected. Is everyone just happy to let society (aka cacs) tell them how they should groom themselves?




Is this not a form of self hatred or at the very least shows a lack of pride and shame of their natural hair?

It's about being presentable in their eyes. My grandparents and mother had/have no lack of black pride but considering where I grew up, you have to do everything you can to not draw attention to yourself.

I used to have a big ass afro and cornrows back in the day. was alot of work.

hygiene & management!

Plus its about adapting to one's environment..professionalism in the west is about appearance.

 

[Panther]

It's just easier to manage
