Has anyone had this experience?

I have a DATE tomorrow! With a nice, intelligent guy!

OMG he is soooooooo sexxxxy! 6ft, nice tight butt, nice pecs, muscular thighs and arms and get this... thick, black, bra strap length hair.

Ok sorry bout that.


Anyways this is our first date and I'm getting my stuff together to look all sexy

and I almost pulled out the flat iron to make my hair straight just for the date.

Why is it that I automatically think straight=pretty sometimes?

My hair is beautiful hair, not to sound like I'm full of myself or anything, but my own hair is pretty! Why would I think that straight hair will make me look prettier??

P.S. I'll be washing and conditioning my hair tomorrow morning and will look gorgeous with a bunch o' curls.

Wait does your date have long hair too?

The fact that you are questioning this says that your mindset is changing...Enjoy you date and your curly unstraightened beautiful hair girl

Straight hair doesn't automatically make someone pretty and neither does blond hair. When I was younger I was always trying to lighten my hair because I noticed that the guys always went for the girls with orange/blondish hair. I thought bleaching my hair would make me more desireable. I'm glad that I quickly changed my mind about that.

He obviously liked you as you were with curly hair to get as far as asking you out on a date. Why change?

(If you find out any of his hair care tips/secrets please remember to share.

It is just that "Eye of American society" conscience that tells us what is pretty or what defines beauty. It has been planted in our heads and our slave ancestors that straight hair is beautiful, (something that most AA ppl don't have.) Don't feel bad. The western culture is very imposing and effective. There are probably over-sized Asian women starving themselves at this moment to get into a size 4.

Yeah he does

It's pretty hair too. It's like he visits here or something.

If you can't tell I'm a little excited.

Thanks for replying guys. The media can really screw people up. So many people are brainwashed, and I'm realizing that I am brainwashed a little too.

I'm the complete opposite. When I want to impress a guy, I immediately think curly and updo. I hate the way straight hair looks on me....it's so blah!

Yum. he sounds cute. Good luck with the date. As for straight hair. I used to have that idea also. And I hated it. Hated having to keep it straight in order for me to see myself as beautiful. But that changed when i realized that my curly hair is 1)beautiful, 2)natural, 3)smells really really good after I get out the shower, and 4)requires so much less time to style. Just remember what makes you feel sexy.

I am getting 110% more comments about my naturally curly hair from guys that I ever did about my hair period! And the fact that its short is even more suprising

Seeing that most guuys love long hair. I can only imagine what they're going to say once I get some more length to these strands! I cant wait!

Have fun on your date.

I experience the same thing, wanting to have straight hair when I'm on a date. I'm breaking myself out of that. Your date met you with curly hair and asked you out so he must like it. But most importantly, you like it. In the end, that's all that really matters. Go be beautiful and curly.
