How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

I would ask for honesty here, but I know I won't get it. All I can say is that if nappy hair was so beautiful, we wouldn't see 80% of black women relaxing or wearing extentions in their hair.

We would also see models and other sexy symbols with afro's on the television and in the movies. Apparently the majority of people do not find nappy afro's beautiful.

Sometimes our natural state isn't exactly the most attractive.

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

who decides what is attractive?? I love curly, nappy hair. My hair is curly and has never see a 'straight' day in a long while. I can tell you there is nothing more repulsive than when my hair is straight. I don't even feel like myself. And the white men, as well as the black love it as is. You are a victim of the white aesthetic - just like all the black women you mention. It's OK to be like that, but please don't make complete generalizations!

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

I think that it is more about prefence. I mean for me, my fro would look horrible on me and I could not maintain it much. People who wear extension,like me,because it is easier to deal with. People of any color wear their hair in all styles, its about preference

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

I disagree....although my hair is "wavy" I choose to relax it for easier care....without a relaxer on a rainy day or humid day it would revert back to a wavy afro.....which is a great look, but I prefer a more relaxed look.....my hair is perfect for a male....(my son enjoys the genes) but for me it limits my hairstyles......

I have seen my hair texture purchased and worn on heads.......................(all day)

I strongly disagree with the "unattractive" statement.....when I wear my hair natural, I actually find that many are "shocked" to see that its NOT offensive....

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

I actually think it's kind of cute. Maybe that's just me and the fact that my hair responds horribly to chemicals plus I'm lazy as all get out so I'm usually unwilling to do anything but make sure it's still on my head and in some state resembling healthy. But yeah, with the right style I think natural black hair is really rather pretty.

At this stage in my life, I'd like more hair, kinky or not.

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

As you can see by the answers, nappy hair isn't seen as beautiful. Know why? Because of the media's obvious standard of white beauty. Once we can get Jessica Alba to wear an afro, that's when nappy hair will be seen as more widely appealing. Lol.

Brittney's already got girls wanting to shave their heads bald!

It's amazing how the media influences otherwise rational people.

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

My hair is "nappy" and I get compliments all the time. If the hair is well groomed and styled then it's not nappy, Black people have tightly curled hair. The majority of people in this country have straight hair, they look down on the people that don't and convince them that their hair, features etc.. are ugly. I find myself the most attractive when my hair is in it's natural state (I sometimes press it) because it's the hair that I was born with. No one should be told that the features that God gave them should be manipulated and deemed as unattractive.

You're kidding yourself, are you implying that Mother Nature messed up with nappy hair? I find it very attractive

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

I usually find beauty in nappy hair. If you want to tame it, jericurl works great. I went one time with curl. that an a mixture of corn rows is a pretty site. I find white women especially like it. Right now I got a fro though.

I think nappy hair is nice, I would love to have it, but I dont believe in altering your natural hair, but afros are beautiful!

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

Natural hair is Beautiful, but at the same time most black women dont have the time or dont know how to take care of their hair. I have natural kinky hair, but I hair weaves, not because I dont like my hair, but because I'm a person who likes to switch up my styles and hair a new look all the time, It has nothing to do with not finding it attractive. Its time consuming to maintain our hair, so we prefer to relax our hair or get hair weaves to make it more convienient for us AND to have a new look.

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

I've decided to define what's beautiful not TV and movies.

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

Yes, I find natural nappy hair to be absolutely beautiful. Natural black hair is the best textured hair in the world and the most exoctic because only black people have it where as most other races hair straight or curly hair. I have a few reasons why white people's hair is not all its cracked up to be:

1. The texture of black hair when its well moistured and taken care of feels like cotton when its wet and soil when its dry and thats a good thing.

2. Can be styled in nicer styles and more can be done with it then a white woman's hair that doesn't hold styles well at all and gets frizzy with split ends easily.

3. Because white people secrete oil out of their scalps and coats every hair and is why they are born with straight hair in the first place, makes their hair very oily and smelly. This is why white women must wash their hair 2-4 times a week or else their hair will really stink and be dirty.This is why white people don't have as much dandiff or dry scalp as black people because of this oil secretion

4. Because their hair gets so oily and smelly quicker, they are more likely to have a bad hair dair because they didn't get a chance to wash their hair.

5. They are 90 times more likely to get lice or other parasites in their hair while blacks hair stay free of it even when in close contact. This is because the oilyness in white people's hair attracts these types of bugs more easily.

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

I usually wear rows. But sometimes I just got a fro. But I dont like no woman's to have nappy hair. I like white woman's hair the goodest. They are prettier.

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

There are many people who find natural hair attractive. Of course, it's not mainstream, just like it's not mainstream to consider someone who is not a size 4 to be the symbol of beauty and the list goes on and on.

I personally don't like my hair when it's nappy because my hair shrivels up like a sponge and I just like my hair long and pressed. Doesn't mean i'm trying to be white. It's just what looks better on me.

Most people are unaware of the fact that prior to 400 A.D., Africans had straight hair and white europeans had curly, woolen hair. But when Shabaaz Zulu sailed from Africa and discovered Europe, the white europeans were jealous of his crew's beautiful hair and stole it. Literally. They forced Zulu's men to mate with the European women, and the european men forced themselves upon the African women. The resulting offspring had the "straight" gene, and interbreeding with the europeans ensured that within a few hundred years the europeans all had straight hair. Zulu and his crew were released and sent back to Africa, but, unfortunately, they had been infected with a horrible venereal disease (to which the europeans were resistant) that altered their DNA. It quickly spread across the continent--ironically, a direct result of this infection was to induce a tendency toward woolen hair in Africans. So if any white person says anything about your "nappy" hair, throw it right back in their face--if straight hair is so great, why did you have to steal it from us?

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

If God gave it to us, then it's good enough. It's not that nappy hair is not attractive. We've been ingrained to think that our hair should flow and be straight like those of European decent. I find it very attractive because it's real, it's me. Nappy hair can grown long, it's strong hair for a strong people.

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

I'm Asian so I have straight hair but I personally love girls with afros who leave their hair natural. I just think it looks dead sexy.

Yaya from Top Model is a perfect example.

How many people actually find nappy hair attractive?

when my hair is in good condition, its beautiful. however when its full of split ends i hate it.

personally i dont relax my hair, and i only wore extensions while i was trying to nutrure my hair (it became very week after poor management and pregnancy). And I wouldnt be caught dead in a weave unless it was maybe an afro weave!! Moreover my husband loves my nappy state and detests straightened hair and weaves.

and i am not mixed or anything. My hair in its good state is soft and manageable. I love afro hair. There are some beautiful styles that can be done with it. I especially like it when the front is cornrowed and the back is left to fro out, that style is awesome and sensual.

Its sad that some black women dont see their hair in the same way.

Oshishana, if you are even partially black i gotta add that it is very regrettable that you think that anyone who says they like afro hair must be being dishonest. Just because you have completely bought into the european standard of beauty doesnt mean we all have. Please believe that, if nothing else. Peace sis.

It's about as sexy as a Brillo pad.

The reason is b/c most black women dont want to or dont know how to take care of their natural hair....

The reason for that is b/c in order to wear your hair natural you really have to experiment A LOT...not many salons and products are made for our hair....THIS IS WHY BLACK WOMEN RELAX THIER HAIR.

In the end, many ppl go around thinking there is somethng wrong with our natural hair, only b/c black women themsleves dont know what to do with their natural hair..BTW a black women who wears their natural hair and knows how to take care of it would telling you that it's much less hassle than having a relaxer..and I'm one of them...

Most black women who say they relax their hair b/c it's easier to deal with, really just dont know what the heck to do with their natural hair...I was like this too back in HS..until I wised up and stopped being lazy and found out what works for my natural hair...it took about three yrs of trial and error (I could have easily gave up and went to a salon to put a relaxer in, like most women) but I now know what works for my hair and I would NEVER relax again,..I love my easy to take care of, beautiful, nappy hair...

For those of you who are ready to see ur real selves, and tired of making white/asian men rich when u use their relaxers, then check out this website:

Please dont say Nappy. Say "Kinky, Thick, Wavy". Nappy is what the slave masters and before then used to call blacks hair "Those Nappy Headed Blacks". Anyway my hair is permed and i dont appreciate getting bashed about it just because im black. My hair was thick and beautiful before I got a perm and is still beautiful now. Thick just straighter. So please dont try to insult me because you cant stand black women who dont have "Nappy hair".
