I know my boyfriend is trying to be supportive of my decision to be natural. His way of supporting me is keeping his opinion about my hair to himself. (he prefers long, straight hair) He thinks I don’t notice that

I have been natural for most of my life except my mother did not know how to style my hair at its kinky stage but pressed it (or hot comb it) instead. Looking at my pics from when I was younger until now, I would say that my hair was really long and started breaking off and losing leghth around the time my mother started pressing my hair more often. When I met my husband ( who is hispanic… this gets important), I was still at my natural state but had individual braids in all the time. It was around the time I turned 18 I went over to a cousins house with my afro and my (now) in-laws saw it driving by and made fun of me for it. Thats when I decided to put in relaxers ( also I was under the impression that my hair would be easier to maintain). After realizing that I had to put in more work in my hair whiles it was relaxed, I thought long and hard about transitioning. But instead, five years later, I just did the Big Chop because at the end of the day, I liked my hair when it was natural before I was made fun of and now I really just do not care what others think about me or my hair. My husband loves my hair even more so than he did post BC and he his supporting me 100%. I did not chop off all my hair because I thought it was trendy, I relaxed it because of that. So if your man wants to leave you because of your hair, let him because if that the reason for leaving anyone then he was not meant for you.

When I first met my husband I had a fade. I had men asking me who I got my waves. My husband kept see pictures of me with long hair and ask if I would consider growing it out. I told him I would only if he paid for it to be done. He did. As time went on and my hair got longer my husband came to see I really did not like dealing with my hair. When I started going natural and he seen how much it makes my like easier and also seen the beauty in me as a natural women he never said another word about me getting a perm again. He loves my hair. He really love playing in my curls. So everyone is happy. Oh by the way when I first got my hair all cut off the men in the barber shop all most had heart attacks. Spewing the crap about a women’s hair is her crown and glory. I told the barber to sweep up my hair and put it in a bag so these fools could run there fingers through it. Men are a trip. LOL

That’s actually funny that you say that Jessi77, because my white (now, ex) boyfriend told me my hair was ugly. I’ve been natural for about 7 months now and at the very beginning, he loved it, mostly because I didn’t care if he played in it because it wasn’t going to mess it up . Well, a couple of weeks ago, he noticed that it got longer/bigger, and when I asked him if he liked it, he frowned his face up . So, yknow.

I think that if a guy doesn’t like a girl’s natural hair, he doesn’t truly like her for her, and when he’s rejecting her natural hair, he’s rejecting her too because natural hair is apart of us, just my opinion

This may be a little off topic, but almost every white guy I know would Looove to be with or is at least very attracted to black women. They don’t care much about the hair, and even say they love curls! I do get a tiny pang of jealousy, as a white woman(even though im married!) when I hear all my male freinds say how beautiful blck women are, and their eyes light up! Also, lots of white women I know (myself included)admire the beauty of black women. So if your boyfreind doesn’t like your natural hair, I’m sure I could set you up with plenty of guys who do!

My natural draws me a lot of attention most of it positive and from guys. Perhaps its because I’m young (only 19) and didn’t grow up with an extreme prejudice to natural hair. I love my hair and most guys that hit on me seem to find it sexy. But, I digress, that’s my personal experience on a college campus.

When I wear my hair natural less black guys look at me none have attempted to hit on me but once I flat iron get a guy saying Ayy Gurl…I think a guy should like natural beauty and accept it.

If her husband really loved/care for her he wouldn’t have given her an ultimatum. He need to be thankful that this didn’t blow up in his face. but if it was the other way around he wouldn’t have taken her ultimatum.
