A year ago I used to have long and straight hair down to the middle of my back. I used to get alot of attention from guys and they used to say stuff like "oh you have some good hair" and some of them would just look at my hair and would want to go out with me. Well, I cut my hair and I'm natural rigth now(which means I don't use a relaxer) and I don't recieve the same attention from men anymore, instead they say stuff like "you look ugly just like those Africans" or "You need a comb" I get harrassed everyday because of my hair and I'm ignoring now. I find it funny that they would think that I'm so sexy wiht my hair one day and then think i'm ugly. What do you think about this?

I swear I think I answered this from you already. But here goes:
Baby, natural hair is sign of strenth. It could be that the strength and confidence that you project is just too much for the boys.
"be-hold ..... a lady,
I see you standing on the wall.
Clap-clap you deserve it a-all"

Yes i'm not going to lie to you hair matters, it matters a great deal. But natural can look great if its taken care of.
Also i've noticed a really disturbing trend, when i leave my hair curly i get more attention from white guys and when i straighten it i get more attention from black guys. This is the honest truth by the way, and it just tells you how messed up mens minds are, so just ignore these assholes.

When I met my boyfriend (White) I had straight hair down my back. I would straighten it everyday. One day I didn't straighten it and my hair was full of spiral curls. I liked it and when my boyfriend saw me he said that the "Black" was coming out of me. He was just kidding. I don't see a difference from having straight hair or having curly hair. People that say that to you are childish and have nothing better to do. One time I did have a boyfriend (Black) that wanted me to keep my hair straight then one that wanted me to keep it curly. I guess it depends on what people like. But the only thing that should matter is if u like it.

ignore them, those men sound like jerks. You were lucky, i have relatively long hair and get no attention about that. :( But i sure a nice guy will appreciate it, any guy who says stuff like "you need a comb" dont deserve you!
wow sorry about some of the other answers being mean, dont listen to them.

I'm in the process of growing out my perm. I'm going to get it cut out next week. I think hair does matter to some people(usually the shallow ones) As long as you are comfortable with the way you look, that's all that matters, forget those clowns.

I think its pretty sad and pathetic. I too have a natural but I've never been harrassed for having one. Those people are ignorant.

I think u shouldnt give two s.hits about what they think. There are MANY men (not boys) who adore beautiful afro-centric natural women. You need to step it up when it comes to who you are trying to attract. If you want to mess around with naieve boys who only want you to look like there trophy video h oe, then do that. But when u get ready to be with a MAN who can appreciate you in all of your natural beauty...you'll find him.
