Has anyone notice the increase in Black men growing they hair out? Update: Drake joins the wave!

[breakfuss]

Yup.

Been several years. The only reason Black men had low cuts is cause they were more acceptable to get jobs and shyt.

Now that America is trying to be less racist and people pointing out micro aggressions and shyt like that you can have any hair you want.

I feel like there were a number of high profile stories about women getting in trouble for wearing their natural hair at work.

I believe this is largely it. Of course the pandemic accelerated things but what you've said about shifting attitudes is at the heart of it. And it wasn't even just white people propagating those oppressive ideas about hair. I think it was Hampton that even banned locs and braids at one point.

I personally think its apart of the feminizing of black men.

Longer hair has always really been a woman thing.
It's take time to care for it and get it done and looking nice.
It's a constant thing.
Men normally aren't with all that maintenance with their hair.

A hair cut every couple weeks, and they was good.

Men grow their hair out and are into clothes and shoes alot more

Tf breh. WTF are you saying.

During COVID lockdown, my Afro grew so much, I could tie it and it was shoulder length. I definitely had a lot of inches hanging out.

I eventually cut it off back in June/July because even through my hair was healthy, I still had little bits of it clogging up the shower and my girl wasn’t having it.

Where do you think top athletes and entertainers get their style from?

The cities i mentioned were places where most people did had them before Chicago. These cities actually moved on to less people having them now since the curly/nappy Afro look is becoming popular.

Well those cities didn't have the influence Chicago did at that moment.

What I'm saying is very clear

Yea I know what you literally said but it's crazy talk . If anything maintaining a low cut/ceasar can be just as time consuming and costly. When I had locs the maintenance was minimal and I only needed a retwist and tape every few weeks. People have the misconception black hair is a "hassle" . Meanwhile white dudes been walking around with all types of styles since forever. Then you saying it's feminine and shyt to grow your hair. Nonsense.

You said getting a hair cut takes more maintenance

Then "white people been doing it"



It's all good bro... I ain't calling nikkaz gay cause they rockin longer hair.

I'm just saying that it's going along with everything else in society. How dudes talk, their mannerisms. Their mentality....
