I just have my hair cut close because I don't feel like spending all day in the barber shop. Also, its easy to maintain. You don't have to do anything with it. I've never cared about my hair enough to style it any other way.

That's me. Always rocking a caesar, easy to wash and brush. I don't care how generic I look.

Wear your hair according to the standards of your job.

If you have a shytty job or you're too stupid to get an executive position, grow orange dreads to your knees. It's not like you're gonna be discussing investment portfolios with wealthy crackers any time soon.

You'll probably end up dying in a night club parking lot or some shyt, so who gives a rat's ass what your hair looks like? That's for nikkas with a future to think about.

Nobody cares about Afros, but I see a lot of brehs walking around looking like the weeknd and that doesn't look neat.

Except white people always compliment me on my freeform hair. More than black people actually alot of em low-key love our hair and the way it defies gravity.

My freeform looks beautiful.

Trends and shyt. I do notice its more so the older generation like my mom wants me to cut my dreads but yet all the people around my age love em and also have long hair. Atleast in my experience.

Their is and has been an active assault on black beauty. Both Male and female, this is why all these non black women treads are dangerous. No just for black women but for black men too.

Racist whites hate our natural hair.

And who taught black people to hate their hair??? they don't like your like you think they do. They still think their hair is better than yours. Its like a big girl in a unflattering dress getting compliments. Don't be so naïve.
