One of my favorite men in the world is sharing thoughts with us about his view on natural hair. I am excited to share this with you all, I hope you enjoy!
How important is a woman’s hair to you? Especially if you are dating her, does she have to wear her hair a certain way to keep grab your interest? (i.e. which styles down vs. ponytail vs. bun, hair length?)
A woman’s hair is not really that important to me. I think men are taught to equate a certain length or style of hair with beauty but I don’t share that view. A woman would have to do more than just wear her hair a certain way to grab my interest.
Do you think that there is a ‘Natural Hair Movement’ or trend going on these days? Why do you think so many women are choosing to go natural now, do you think it’s a fad?
I don’t think there’s a “Natural Hair Movement” or trend or fad per se going on now. When you look at history, there have always been those women who wore weaves and permed their hair to look more appealing or in line with the White American standard of beauty but since the Civil Rights and Black Power Movement in the 60’s, there has also been more women who have taken to embracing their hair in its natural state and truly believe that they are beautiful without need for alteration.
I think so many women are choosing to go natural now because it has become popular again. Today’s culture is attracted to anything that seems different and for most, loving yourself is an entirely different concept but one that I absolutely love and embrace.
Would you support your partner or family members (i.e. mother, sister, daughter) if she decided to become natural?
I would definitely support my partner or family member if they decided to become natural.
How important is hair texture to you? If your significant other were to go natural, would the texture of her hair affect your opinions on whether she should remain natural or not?
