isPermaLink="false">http://www.singleblackmale.org/?p=2454#comment-158667</guid> <description>I just got the repost via Twitter about this... I had a long love affair with hair.  My grandmother was a beautician and she did my hair for as long as I can remember and she would never let me rock the Sol Glo!! I wanted it so bad I wanted curly hair she was not having it.
So I got the creamy crack and cried every time they put it in.  She would have a fit if I cut my hair she and my father were hung up on hair.... One year in the 90s I met this guy who could cut hair.  For a fashion show I whacked all of my hair off and I loved it! People would stop me on the street and ask about my cut... then I grew tired of it and I lost my hair cutter.  So I started growing it out .... I tried going natural when I was living in Miami...no bueno went back to the creamy crack.
So since then I have been rocking it long and relaxed love putting it in a bun or ponytail and keep it moving! Creamy Crack was my jawn! But I could never wear it curly without putting in super small rollers or rocking out hundreds of straws.... But as I got older I really wanted to go natural rock me some afro puffs like Lady of Rage....but alas my hair doesn&#039;t do that *shrugs* so after two failed attempts in the early 90s to go au naturel.  I gave up but in 2008, I stopped relaxing my hair. My hair is super thick and does what it pleases and often I couldn&#039;t get it bone straight at the root anyway.
So today I am completely au naturel no creamy crack and people love it when I wear it curly they say they like it better guys react when I wear it that way too...which is weird.  I wear it curly and straight. It doesn&#039;t matter if I sweat or humidity, my hair gets big!
I can feel hatin&#039; bitches looking at me trying to figure out if it is a weave&#8230; bitches used to pull my hair growing up I still hate those bitches! O___O
It is more work to wear it curly because my hair has different kinds of textures and different kinds of curly but somehow I make it work.  When I wear it straight people swear that I went back to creamy crack...but no it is amazing what a good roller set and flat iron can do, touch up the roots with a blow dryer we good money!
I love natural hair.  I love dreads (when done right). I hate when people try to wear their hair beyond what it was meant to be or do. Some folk wear the wrong weave/wig or rock lace fronts knowing full well they are not an actor in an off Broadway play or theater production of &quot;The Heights&quot;.  Or when they wear hair that doesn&#039;t match their head, face or complexion...that shit urks the hell outta me! Grrrrr....and them be the ones that end up on Twitter with a caption that reads &quot;you are fooling no one&quot;.
I love those clip ins and I wonder why women don&#039;t wear those. They don&#039;t damage your hair, there is no glue or sewing, you just clip in and voila you have hair.  When you are done just un-clip and you good money!
So for right now I am loving my natural state I switch according to mood and weather and also I have never cared about sweating out my hair that is not going to stop me from &lt;del&gt;having sex&lt;/del&gt;   working out!
Let &#8216;s have a moratorium on weaves, lace fronts and wigs&#8230;ladies let your real hair out to breathe! </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just got the repost via Twitter about this&#8230; I had a long love affair with hair.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.singleblackmale.org/?p=2454#comment-157522</guid> <description>lol. Funny that I should hit this post today - I have hair on the brain. Let me start off by saying that this &quot;going natural&quot; thing was not intentional. I was wearing a short wig at the time that received a lot of positive feedback, but I hated the fact that I could feel my braids underneath. When it was weave, I had to deal with the same braids/tracks &lt;strike&gt;that Streetz&#039; hatin&#039; ass keeps bringing up&lt;/strike&gt;. I kinda sorta just asked my mom to hack off my hair to get rid of the relaxed part, so that I could start over. Mind you, it takes decades for my hair to grow. It took a couple of days to get used to, but it&#039;s been a year now.
The interesting thing I&#039;ve noted is that, for the most part, I&#039;ve received nothing but props from the male species. I&#039;ve had several women, on the other hand, asking me when I&#039;m going to do something with my hair. Today, an &quot;aunt&quot; at church said it would be nice to see me with something different. Apparently, I need to switch it up so that I can &quot;bring that guy in&quot;. Mind you, the last guy I was involved with wasn&#039;t a fan of wigs and weaves and was happy when I showed up au naturel. Random guys stop to give me compliments. At least one guy has told me that he doesn&#039;t generally find short hair attractive, but that he likes the way it looks on me. It really makes me wonder about women and the things they/we do, thinking that it&#039;s what men want.
In any case, I&#039;ve decided to protect my hair for the Winter and get some weave action in. I&#039;m going to miss being able to run my hands through my hair. Like, really, really going to miss it. Did I ever mention that I&#039;m kinda &lt;strike&gt;obsessed with&lt;/strike&gt; healthily fascinated by hair? </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>lol.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.singleblackmale.org/?p=2454#comment-44665</guid> <description>I agree with your comment regarding the relationship held between confidence, care and hair.  I think there are natural stereotypes in society that relate a woman&#8217;s appearance to the type of person she probably is.  If she has her hair piled on top of her head, it is automatically assumed that she is a sloppy individual and people often times won&#8217;t take her life style into account (she may have a busy schedule people).  On the other hand, women that have their hair perfectly straightened or curled seem to attract people more easily as most are propelled towards beauty &#8211; and by most, I mean men.  It&#8217;s not too common that you see a man go out of his way to get to know a woman that isn&#8217;t looking up to standards one day.  Our society has become very superficial.
Personally I feel as though my style fluctuates on a daily basis.  I am a young woman, so I do care about my appearance and will attempt to make my hair look nice as much as possible.  However, given that I am also a university student, my schedule often times does not provide me with the time to do so.  My saving grace has been the braid.  I find you can throw one of those in your hair creatively and you automatically get a modern-looking hair style. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I agree with your comment regarding the relationship held between confidence, care and hair.
