Is a black woman's natural hair attractive?

Question

Anyways, my mom says that guys don't like curly hair or coily hair like a black woman's. Both my parents say this is ugly, or bad hair. It's what's everyone would consider ugly. Including me and my sisters hair. Because without a weave, this is how my actual hair looks. They always pressure me to straighten my hair or wear a wig all the time and it makes me so angry, because I feel like I can't even wear my hair around them without them having to insult it. Even my older sister says that guys don't like hair like this and I was seeing if it was true. Can I still get a boyfriend even if my hair is curly or coily or is this ugly?

Ugh I've been in your shoes I don't know how many times with some of my family members about my hair smh, but I learned to ignore it because I'm not going out the way to please them for what they prefer. It's my hair and I was gonna do it and wear it my way whether they criticized it or not. Regardless of what they say, natural hair is beautiful in every way. And honey your hair is NOT ugly! It's gorgeous boo. If anything take pride in yours coils and curls and flaunt it the fuck off with confidence! Dont let anyone, not even your family, talk you down about your hair and please don't try to bend over backwards to please them. If you're not happy with the weaves or none of that, don't do it boo

Absolutely not. Despite my hair being straightened in my profile pic, I always wear it curly. It took me a while to embrace my hair, but I honestly love it and it's because of the natural hair movement partially.

Now I will say that my hair is more curly, so I don't face that same ignorant view towards my hair, but I've seen it and it's disgusting. And if a guy can't accept you for everything are then he doesn't deserve to be in your life because someone worth while will appreciate it. I've never had a guy have an issue with my hair and if he did, we wouldn't be in one another's lives. I hope you can get to a place where you embrace your hair and be confident with it 😊

Yea it's pretty, it's also all very different :) some tight curls, looser, jet black, brown, reddish, it's all different.

I love it! I think it's gorgeous. That's sad your family is not teaching you to embrace your natural beauty and heritage acting like there is something wrong with it:( I admire black women who have their hair like this. I think the wigs and straightening is a shame really. I think it's wrong not to be proud of who you are.

Of course it's attractive.. But people are so used to seeing straight hair, and it is seen as one of the requirements of the European standards of beauty.. It is not what society considers feminine.. And because of many "Black" people gettin affected by the Euro standards of beauty, they also associate anythiny that loosens coily hair to be "good" hair. Even though in terms of hair texture, there is no such thing.. All hair types can have good and bad hair.. But, a "Black" women's natural hair is beautiful. Lol..

I'm a black dude that absolutely loves the natural hair movement that many black women are having around the world.

Natural black hair is very unique in texture, so I understand how some men may not be into it and prefer straight hair. Very much a niche type of trait natural black hair is.

My goodness. Yes. . . a "Black" woman with an afro is my weakness. But I could never find one that would give me a bit of attention.

I think it can be beautiful if you rock it and feel beautiful in it. Lupita is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, and she always works with her natural hair.

I think you should have your hair however you like it. Natural is beautiful. I like all kinds of braids and colors and styles. I like women who look in the mirror and love who they see. That's the most attractive thing ever.

Not a fan of the poofy look but it's honestly better than wigs and weave. I've only met two black women who don't have short hair and don't wear weave or wigs

enlightenmexo · Answer

Very attractive. I always tell my black friends to stop with the weave bullshit.

I have heard most black men say like natural hair on a black woman. Most do not like weaves and wigs.

Guys like soft run your finger through type of hair... black hair isn't that though... unfortunately

JoyGirl · Answer

I don't care what they think. There are always going to be people who criticize an afro chick.

I personally think your hair looks better than those nasty looking wigs most black wear. No offence!

Maria321 · Answer

I honestly do not care as long as I find her attractive

Pomegranate139 · Answer

It's difficult to manage and not the norm, so most would consider it ugly.

AleDeEurope · Answer

Not in my opinion, I'm not a fan of curly hair, not just on Black women, but anyone.
