Would you press/flat iron for a man?

Keep em' guessing, that is sexy. The same ol' can get boring. You can straighten your hair without burning it. Deep con., Heat protectant, air drying, low heat, with a wrap = get your "swang" on! Show them how it's done...this is a reward for all of your hard work!

I gotta cosign the heck out of this one!! You will enjoy your man's reaction to a different look. I would do it every now and again because to me its like puttin on lingerie or changing up my perfume. But I also say this, make sure he does things for you as well, but thats another thread . You gotta keep it spicy in YOUR relationship because if one of yall don't then its just another plate of peas and rice, same old stuff different night. I know I don't want that!

Yes ma'am I sure would (as long as it's within reason and my hair's health doesn't suffer.) The future hubby loves my grass almost as much as I do, and he is THE butter on my breakfast toast. He bends over backwards to make me happy and if he wants to see the Afro Swag or Tempting Twists one day... and Silky Jenkins the next... shoooot.... Where's my protectant and flat iron at?

Everyone acts like using heat is evil. I just don't get it.

Heat IS the devil for some people's hair. Some heads can take it regularly, some not at all, and most of us are somewhere in between.

I don't think it's rocket science.

Girl I really am. What's that Teddy P song? It's so good lovin' somebody and that somebody loves you back...

I would have to pick out a nice, swangy wig (which I already have ). My hair is. . .um. . .just a tad heat resistant. So, trying to flat iron it would just lead to a bad impersonation of straight hair.

OR I could get those invisible braids for a couple of months. He'd have to pay for it though.

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but hypothetically speaking, what if once he saw your hair straight, he began to express a preference and request it all the time? That's what I'd be afraid of, personally.

I just pray he'd understand that even if I were to try to straighten my hair to please him it would revert before I left the shop and, after a few attempts, break off to the ears. (Ask me how I know... ) It's just never been worth the investment for me. for a husband who loves playing in my kinks and curls and appreciates creativity in the kitchen and the boudoir lol: for special occasions instead.

Should he happen to love straight hair on me (I don't know why such a man would choose someone who almost exclusively wears big natural styles, but *shrugs*), I love wigs, so I'm willing to compromise that way. I still wouldn't want to wear straight styles all the time--or even relatively often--though. Just seems like an (in)compatibility issue that should've been headed off at the pass to me.
