Yes, I'm going to take it here. Why is it that I see so many Afr. Am. men with their hair beautifully natural, with twists, locs, cornrows, afros, but Afr. Am. women with natural hair are few and far between? Why do I see and hear so many stories about Afr.Am. women who take so much crap from their men for going natural? Why is it that Afr. Am. women can so lovingly and tenderly grease her man's scalp and cornrow his beautiful kinks and coils, and then turn around and throw the creamy crack into her own hair, and sometimes even her young daughters hair as well? Why do I get weird and crosseyed looks and negative comments from Afr. Am. men, who themselves are sporting a sexy afro or dreads for not having my own hair "done"? Why did it take me 5 years of bickering and argueing with my husband, all the while lovingly maintaining his beautiful coily hair and scalp for him, to convince him that my hair is beautiful natural, and does not need to be straightened? WHY, WHY, WHY????
