So a man cant be aware enough to know WHY women wear weaves? He has to be a woman to determine that? Come on

^^Plenty of dudes look at a chicks wig.
Look how dudes cant stop talkin bout
ambers bald %#!. I kno I wouldnt talk to
a chick if her hair wasnt lookin at least
decent. I feel the same for my damn self.
you talkin about a chick with NO hair, which is
you walk up to a chick, she looks like esther baxter's twin sister, you're really staring at her hair and eyebrows like "eh....she is lookingHIT"
really?
forreally?
at the end of the day, though, mytmouse, it's HIS opinion...why RenaRene so mad?
i wouldnt say it's specifically to look white, but it damn sure isn't to look like yourself....can we agree on that?

Explain to me why I can't be serious about it? I am dead serious.
Black women straighten their hair to emulate white women. While it might be more involuntary/subconscious NOW than it was when they FIRST started doing it,they still do it to be like white woman.
I don't understand why some of you are so astonished by this statement

White people tan because pale skin is undesirable.

well, women perm their hair cause brillow pad wigs are undesirable.
i actually happen to think white people tan subconsciously to look less white...
them white chicks stay on a tanning bed to look more ethnic and less white....
you see any neo-nazi white girls tanning? no.

I appreciate hair that looks good on women. Whether it is fake or not. As long as it looks good.
This discussion is so shallow and I mean shallow as in yall not even scratching the surface. I can bring up a lot of things that black ppl both male and femaledo that one could consider "wanting to be white" thing is it's counter productive.
Some of yall talking about being conditioned are more conditioned than a !*$#%+@#$$%%

No, I'm not. Aren't perms, relaxers or whatever they're called, meant to help their hair to be more manageable?
I just don't know what bothers people about black women doing this. Is it just the "black women going for the Euro look" notion that botherspeople?
Or maybe I'm missing something about the aftereffects of what this actually does to their hair.
Other than what the aftereffects may be, I just don't see what's wrong with them getting extensions or perms. And it's not like it can't helptheir appeal.

So can one also say that black girls straighten their hair because their curly hair is undesirable?
If you cant agree with that then clearly you are one of those that give white people a pass for everything.

Either way you look at that first comment it can be attributed to wanting to look white
Black women's hair wasn't undesirable until they saw that there was another OPTION (straight hair)
Before encountering whites, I am pretty sure African women didn't have the same issues with their hair

We probably haven't seen any appreciation threads for them because they aren't nearly as attractive as Lauren London or Beyonce.
Amber Rose doesn't have her hair like Beyonce or Lauren London and she gets plenty of attention on here.

You must be joking.
I use weave to add volume to my hair, that means I'm trying to be white?

we can def. agree on that...so what if i have natural hair and i just straighten it with a flat iron? is that a problem too? (i'm just asking don'twant that to come off confrontaional or angry)
and what about white women that perm their hair to make it curly?
like i said...she's probably upset cuz she feels he's assuming something about her that may not be true

I have curly hair and sometimes I flat iron it to switch it up
It does not mean I'm trying to be like white women
I just wanna do something different

you're about to lock this thread with your ignorance. There are African American women born everyday with natural straight hair. So you are sayingthey're not really black? There are white women with curly or short hair. Are they not white?
Are black women who "go natural" trying to become African citizens? Your argument expired after about 1975. What you SHOULD say is they do it tomimic that they see in Hollywood, and mainstream media. Not just black or white, but a general standard of beauty to have luscious locks. In any form. This iswhy "natural" women like to wear curly styles instead of just shaving if off. Unless the women you deal with have balded heads, they are guilty ofthe same thing.
im outy. peace.

So you mad because theyre exploring different options.
Centuries Africans knew nothing about what an education was, so now that all of us minorities are trying to be educated we are trying to emulate the"Euro" lifestyle?
Can you see how ridiculous that sounds?
