Black Men And Natural Hair

I got the inspiration for this blog post from YouTuber Sava Mounage.  He did a video about Black Men Hate Natural Hair (see the video below).  Now I will talk about my personal experience.  I started my personal natural hair journey in 2013 and initially it was going very well as there was still some relaxed hair with the new growth.

Eventually when I was almost fully natural I started to cut off the little bits of relaxed hair that was left.  Then my husband will tell me that he did not like my hair.  Basically every time he looked at my hair he would tell me this.  I too went through a bit of adjustment where I did not like my hair.  I even did a video about this. I think I just did not know how to style my hair also I know I had to go through a bit of mind adjustment.

I Am Not Enjoying My Natural Hair!

There were times where I would protective style my hair with bantu knots and my husband did not like that.  I felt a but guilty as I was not making myself look attractive when I went to bed.  Lets face it ladies, we still have to look attractive to our man when we go to bed!! Maybe my husband thought I would have go back to relaxing my hair as he did not like my natural hair but I had already made up my mind to continue on this journey.

Now these days he would pass his hand through my hair, I think he is getting accustomed to my natural hair now.  We (both men and women) were brained washed into thinking that our natural hair is not beautiful so it takes time for us to readjust and 'open' our eyes and see that our natural is beautiful!!!

Its refreshing to listen to the opinion, from a man - to be precise - an African man, about women growing their hair natural AND men as well.

 

This video is so funny I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did

Gabrielle Union Exposing Her Natural Hair On Being Mary Jane

I was watching Being Mary Jane, starring Gabrielle Union, on Friday March 20.  I stepped away  from the television for a bit and in quickly passing by the TV, I saw this image of Gabrielle Union with her hair natural. I quickly grabbed my cell phone and took this photo.  The images on the TV went by so quickly I was not able to get more than one photo.

I was totally surprised and excited at the same time to see her with her hair natural.  The role she was playing at the time was that she had removed her weave and was desperate to get her hair redone.

My question, she has a lovely set of hair, why does she have to install a weave? How did she feel exposing her natural hair to the public?  I think it was a brave move on her part to do this and I would like to see more female celebrities showing their natural hair with pride.

My Review Of Cantu Shea Butter For Natural Hair

I absolutely love this product.  Previously I would apply gel to my natural hair before going to work and we all know the characteristics of gel is the hair will be crispy and hard.  Since I found this product, I apply it to my hair instead of the gel and my hair is so soft PLUS I love the curls my hair creates when this cream is in my hair.  Great product!

My Girl Has Joined The Natural Hair Team

Found this video the other day and just had to share, it is so funny. But on a serious note, personally it took me a while for my mind to adjust to my natural hair and it was not only me, my husband did not like but I think now he has gotten accustomed.  He even puts his hands in my hair sometimes. 

Enjoy the video!!!
