What kind of hair you prefer on a black girl?

[missmary]

I really want to know if there are men that find girls with an afro appealing. and what kind of hairstyle you like the most with the black girls. straight, cruls, afro...?

[Arwens-Fire]

Since I am an ebony princess,with a big afro...

I prefer my hair to not be burdened down with harsh chemicals like lye which is harmful to my body.

I prefer my hair to not be burdened with having to flat iron it into submission.

I prefer my hair to not be held down by all sorts of harsh styling products that stunts its growth.

I prefer my hair to not be burdened with having to "blow out" my many curls.

I prefer my hair to be happy,healthy and free...a reflection of ME.

Miss Mary,

An anonymous user here said it BEST.This site mainly has white users.This world in general,the media,most things celebrate light skin and straight hair.So,most of the answers you will receive here will be discouraging concerning wearing your own natural hair.Its the constant brainwashing people have received,and its sadly difficult for black women to accept what NATURALLY comes from their own scalps.How sad is that.So we resort to trying to figure out how to be "more" attractive supposedly to the opposite sex by conforming.

Self love is important for sure.But it took me basically having all of my hair fall out from chemical processing and other damaging hair traumas for me to ask myself,"What and who am I doing all of this for?" Do I want to be bald for life just because I think that straightening my hair is the "right" thing to do?Am I right in thinking my hair is...bad?NO.NO.NO.

Don't worry or focus on what you think guys will want...its what YOU want.And on a side note,I can't tell you how much praise is received when a black woman wears her hair in its natural state...you know why?Because our hair is so unique and beautiful.And you know what I hear ALL day? "Man,I wish I could get MY hair like that."And that statement is usually coming from those with...STRAIGHT HAIR.

Good luck girly.

[missmary]

God bless you

[Arwens-Fire]

Ditto to you,and thanks for BA.I really hope that you feel and gain confidence to be YOU.Its baffling how many people have negative things to say about the brown girls and yet,how many people are getting tans to have MORE color?Or like I said,people upset that they can't do anything with their straight hair?Yet,a negative light is always put on the brown girls.Hmph.I think a lot of people are just suconsciously...jealous.Jealous of our melanin,and jealous of hair that is unique in every way.

[TNA89]

What's an "ebony" "PRINCESS"? And... since the answerer left the site, should BA be given to a new answerer?

[Cuddle_Muffin]

i prefer the natural look. the big curly hair. the big funky fro. that stuff.

but, I also like sleek straight hair. so...it just depends on the black girls features.

since I'm technically black, I prefer sleek black straight hair on me, although I wear.clip ins and I'm natural.

[effffy]

I know some black girls from university and they let it natural... It's very prettyl! It's a shame I don't see a lot...
mine is naturally straight so when I see a girl with afro or amazing curls I love it, it's different and it's beautiful.

[ketfoen]

I like the curly look like this link and link .

When they also pull this hairstyle back, I think it also looks great.

I don't have a single curl on my head, so I can't have a lot of hairstyles like black people can. My hair just doesn't keep any style I give it, it sucks.

That's why I have always had it one style since I can remember short like this. link I don't look like this guy, just the hairstyle.

I don't like afro hair on any girl, even if she is black. I prefer long hair in any girl and it's really difficult to find a black girl with short hair. I like it very long and I like braided hair on black girls:

You should go natural. Do whatever YOU like. It shouldn't matter at all what other people think, it's your hair.

Ultimately, if the guy likes you anyway, he'll like whatever hairstyle you have. Just be yourself and you can't go wrong:)

[palek]

I like anything except an afro pretty much. Curly, straight, dreds, whatever. I'm happy just as long as it ain't nappy. (By the way, my wife is black)

[missmary]

alright and how does she wears her hair?

[palek]

She usually wears wigs, but sometimes weaves. She's from W. Africa and she can ROCK an African outfit - spotlight on the booty.

[Dreamgirl99]

That sounds really ignorant. You have a black wife but hate her natural hair texture.

[palek]

Thank you for acknowledging my ignorance. Fact is, I love the texture of her hair (as she is usually natural in bed, I just don't think its natural appearance is as attractive as the alternatives, and neither does she.

[palek]

Oh, and how many black women do you see wearing afros in the media - maybe 1%

[Cottoncandydreams]

you are disgusting palek hatin afros

lol

[palek]

Well, you're right about the disgustin part! But hatin afro's ain't the half of it!

[missmary]

I don't believe you. I even think you don't have a wife, let alone a black one. I think your trying to piss off people. and that is just sad. I hope that god will help you.

[palek]

I've just informed my wife that we aren't in fact married, because some woman on the internet doesn't believe we are! She at once packed all her wigs and moved back to Sierra Leone. Although she left there 26 years ago, she couldn't bear the thought of staying here without me AND having to wear her hair in an afro while doing so. I hope you're satisfied!

[theguyisback]

I don't find palek offensive lol.. He's just stating a preference.. You don't need to be black to have nappy hair, and he said
nappy, not natural texture lol..
I've known a couple white girls sporting affros, and I think affros don't really look the greatest on anyone. Especially women in general. No race specified.

[palek]

I once saw a black woman walking down the street with her hair in an afro and she wore a t-shirt that proudly announced "I'm Happy to be Nappy". I of course always remembered it.

[TNA89]

To be fair, Afros are a thing of the 70's. You just don't see them anymore. He's right

[palek]

Mostly weaves and wigs, and sometimes, though rarely, braided. And to change things up she'll sometimes wear it cut very short and dyed blonde.

[peace-love-couture]

Straightened looks best

Most guys prefer straight hair and dislike curly hair, let alone liking kinky/nappy black hair

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend likes natural hair, but Its my hair so I'll wear it how I want

[RaeBae]

I'm a ponytail/bonbon kinda girl. I hate weave and I've never had an Afro except for like when I blow dry my hair after a wash lol

[knotme]

I have dreadlocks down my back and that's how I will wear it until I decide to commit to something else

[damondino]

Afro, dreads, straight... not really into weaves etc. Prefer natural

[stillagoodgirl]

Dont change for a man trust me, in the end its not worth the struggle

[theguyisback]

if he loves you and is a real man, he would never want you to change.. or ever ask you to for that matter.

[Anonymous]

Doesn't matter much to me. I like a fairly wide variety. I just don't like the short hairstyles. Too many women have a Halle Berry style. It's terrible.

[Kiran04]

No, I don't like afros. I like hair styles that make it easy to pull.

[bluepassion]

Straight, long, or with curls yes, but an Afro no!

[Anonymous]

I prefer a long straight hair on her.

[Anonymous]

Straight is always sexy. But afros can be cute.

[smallpeanuts91]

natural... either way I know she'll look beautiful

[brooklynboy]

preferably natural

[amyrose304]

straight
