Black male with straight hair what do you think?

I want to start by saying that I think guys with long hair can look really cool and strong. I've recently straightened my hair and have faced quite a bit of debate about being a Black male with straight hair, mostly from within the Black community. However, my friends from other ethnic backgrounds seem to appreciate it. I'm happy with my hair; I think it gives me a more powerful look, especially when I headbang.

I have two questions: Why is it considered negative for a Black male to have straight hair? And how does my hair look to you? Here's a link to a photo of my hair: http://s71.photobucket.com/albums/i139/mutanic_for…

It seems that nowadays whenever you make a decision about your appearance, there’s always this odd little group who automatically assumes that you’re not happy about your original appearance in a biased way. (Such as when an overweight person states that they should lose weight, and other people bother them about “not appreciating themselves” and all those “inner beauty” things, or when a person gets colored contacts, or when a blonde dies their hair, or when a person wishes their skin was a shade lighter so they would have an easier time picking colors in clothing, and so on…) Obviously, people assume that all black males (and until recently, all black females as well) always have super-curly hair in stereotypical styles. When they encounter a black male with straight hair, they’re quite shocked, then just decide that you have low self esteem as a race “minority.”

Oh, and it might also be the fact that you’re a male at all, let alone black. Out in most of the world, the majority of men don’t really straighten their hair and are uncomfortable to even think about announcing such an “unmanly” idea to the world. Stereotypes do still exist, after all.

And I think your hair looks awesome 🙂

I can’t even…I had straight hair, I had to cut it… I was into the emo styles. I was bulled harassed. someone even cut my hair in class. I would get horrible comments regarding people like “Katt williams …Pootytang, ect.” they hated it. Insult after insult. I loved it. But then i had to let it go. It was time to cut it off. Boy oh Boy i never hit a sadder day. Cutting it off because pressure and I couldn’t take it. And I was looking for work. My mom said i’d have a better chance for a job if i cut it. A kid actually at my school that was black (A few actually) Complemented me saying thas raw, “I want that hair.” But were afraid, except one. He did it and i feel bad because he has been messed with for it even posted on instagram. Boy Oh Boy…This is me >

Having straight hair looks more Caucasian, and black people mostly have naturally curly hair. So some may think you’re ditching your true background, and making yourself something you’re not. You may not think this at all, but that’s just what automatically pops up when you see this.

If you want a boyfriend so bad, then I highly recommend following this https://bitly.im/aOnku Since you’ve never dated or been kissed before, it’s going to be hard to get a boyfriend if you don’t know what to do but once you know what to do, you’ll be able to get a boyfriend pretty easily and can share your dating stories with your friends and experience those feelings yourself. You’ll even be able to attract guys you might feel is out of your league. I suggest going on a bunch of dates before choosing one guy to be your boyfriend. Have fun.

Actually, I think it looks pretty good on you.

But I guess people just think that your trying to be somebody else with straight hair, that its not you. Don’t worry, they’ll get used to it.

To be honest, I don’ t like straight hair on ANYONE,it’s just so boring(which is why i have a huge curl fro/wave fro in my display lol). My boyfriend is bajan-mixed and he’s dark skinned, and he actually has naturally straight hair and it looks great on him, but I still hate straight hair! I think you would look cute with your natural hair because in this picture, I mean no harm, but you can tell that you have a relaxer and it has dried your hair out badly :(.

It depends in the girl’s point of view. In order to be honest, I like longer hair on guys, they certainly know exactly how to express their own style and it makes me happy
