Hair Do’s and Don’ts According to the Fellas

April 13th, 2012 - By Mel T.

Black women spend countless hours at the hairdressers while spending millions of dollars on hair products—and hair. The theory is that we do it for ourselves; we boost our self esteem when we  feel and look good. However, when we’re honest, we acknowledge that we consider how the guys will react to us after we are fried, dyed and laid (or twisted) to the side. So, I asked a few fellas from Facebook to share with us what they really liked—and loathed—about our hair. Click through the gallery to find out!

    I’m 2 months late in reading and posting. I am of mixed race caribbean descent and have italian euro curly hair which I prefer to straighten or wear in very loose big waves. I definitely see a difference of attention when I wear the latter as compared to my tighter curls.

    In NY NJ area, white men and professional men aren’t into curly hair, black and latinos are vs. ALL types ofmen are into me with straight or wavy hair. I like wearing clip in extensions for additional length, do not wear weaves or other contraptions. I can’t justify paying $500+ a month for hair, when I already have! I spend $135 every 6 months on extensions.

    Black women need to prioritize and also quit trying to keep a man from straying by focusing solely on their hair. If anything, they need an attitude makeover and to tone the aggression down. Keep in mind a lot of men cheat on the most beautiful smartest talented women simply because they crave variety.

    I love my natural hair and I wouldn’t touch another relaxer kit again. 

    However, different men have different tastes in hairstyles. I know some men who love women with natural hair, while other men don’t care for it.

    DO wear your hair however you damn well please.

    DON’T date a guy who is more concerned with your hair than you are.

    When I have my hair natural white men stare at me constantly but for black men I become invisible. My boyfriend however does not seem to care how i do my hair. He told me that he fell for me because of my personality not what was on my head or on my body since these things can be changed easily but a great personality  is hard to find.

      Same here! White men never discriminate against me for my hair. Black men do it all the time. And my hair is pretty long for natural hair – I’ll probably loc it up. So let’s not pretend that length is the issue here.

    Yay, Another magazine telling me what I should and should not do to get a keep a “man”.

    r u serious, you have all these comments on how women (mostly black) should wear their hair and they you end it with the white woman that looks like a man with breasts telling black woman forget your hair if your body is baggin, with this altered fake having jack horse face clown….r u serious…so racist and stereotypical..ridiculous

      Amber is half black/(Afican roots at least). I don’t know why people still assume she’s just white.

      • stevievi

        i’m tired of mentioning this. People who look white, will get all the privileges of being white. Amber might be from some obscure cape verdes island where there are some black people, but if you don’t look black and get the “black” treatment in this country. YOU ARE NOT BLACK.=side eye

    Correction: black women spend billions, approximately $9 billion annually.

    When I rock my natural kinky curls, some (but not all) men like it a lot. When I flat iron my hair straight, even more men find me attractive. It may be because a lot of men like long, straight hair or it could be the way long hair looks on me. But I’ve definitely noticed that I get more compliments or attention when my hair is straight. And that’s sad because I like both looks!

  • Mrs J

    I love my hair long but my hair was swexy short as well. I can rock it either way.

    I think being a confident women is all you need to wear any style of hair, I myself will rock natural, weaves, and wigs of all various lengths and my husband loves them on me. Bottom line be yourself and be confident.
