My hair has allowed me to understand myself a little better. I once was told hurry and get your retouch and was often told that I had bad hair and was told this many times and I know growing up it wasn't said to hurt me but it was something that was taught early on. I have embrace the nappies and the kinkness of my lovey hair. I've change my thought process without processing my hair.

It's nice to have a man in your life who supports your decision to wear your hair natural. I recently had a negative experience with a man that I was interested in. He had not seen me for a while and since the last time I saw him I now have short (3 to 4 inch) sisterlocks. He's actually told me twice that he liked my hair better when it was straight. This second time he even said that I would have to straighten my hair to be with him. Needless to say....Next!!!! I'm not going back to setting my scalp on fire with the creamy crack to please a man. If he can't accept my natural hair then he must go. I understand that he his brainwashed by the concept of European beauty so it's okay. I'll just pray that God sends me a man that will love everything about me, even the nappy hair that God gave me. I am encouraged by your post. It reassures me that there are Black men out there who can still appreciate our natural hair. Because it's funny, I've received several compliments from white men and usually if the compliment comes from a black man he's usually much older...maybe it's a generation thing. I was beginning to think that I might have to seriously look outside of the black male population for love. Which wouldn't be a bad thing but I would like to try to make it work with a brother first. Have a great week.
