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.
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.
