I've had several men tell me that they preferred natural hair, and that they loved my twa.
I was at a party and my hair was straightened and starting to get frizzy (my cousin said it wasn't but I'm more critical of my hair). This guy came up to my table and was talking then said he was happy to see a woman wearing their natural hair and not all the weaves and fake hair. I didn't know what to say so I just said "thank you" and smiled. I know alot of black men prefer long hair and don't like fake hair but how often do strangers tell you they like that you don't wear a weave?
My BF does not like weaves at all, nor does my brother. But they wouldn't care if I was natural or relaxed as long as its mine
But...my BF is attracted (but not limited) to certain *Video Girl* types and I'm like "Babe, they all wear weaves/lace fronts, you know that right???!!!".
I've been getting it as I venture out more with the fro. With some men it's a more thoughtful response, like maybe they never really considered what it would look like in real life. With others it's more of an animalistic sticky-fingered child thing where they appear next to me suddenly with restless fingers and wide eyes.
I think men like the look of A LOT of hair, and they like knowing that it's real. It's some kind of genetic pheromone thing, I think.
My DH prefers my natural hair only because my hair is longer now than it was when I first met him. He can see the difference between my flat, lifeless SL relaxed hair (no offense to the relaxed heads, this is how my hair was) and the MBL thicker hair I have now. I do admit he gives me more attention when its straight, but whatever I gotta pick my battles. I prefer my hair curly over straight, but I change it around to keep him interested.
One time I decided to wear my fro out fully shrunken and unmanipuated I looked like this I was walking down the street in brooklyn in my old neighborhood.
