I’ve gotten so many compliments from brothers about my natural hair, but they won’t talk to me. The women on their arms have long lace fronts

[@kewan2045]

As a man considering settling down natural is what I’m looking for specifically. Crazy nails also a disqualifier

[@GabrielaMeredith]

Yeah but are they marrying these women? Men will walk around with an overly done up women for 10 years and then marry a natural woman in 6 months.

[@rdkirk3834]

Look for wedding rings.

[@hannahdargan6079]

I agree they do like to have the lace front women on their arm. But. The women on their arm may be there only temporarily. Apparently men like to smash the lace fronts knowing they are the easier ones because they are insecure.

[@Hardawayfits]

So true. That's why I go where the love is at😊

[@Mebby06]

I am darker skinned black women with 4a/4b hair, my hair is long but when I wear it natural black men don’t pay me no mind, it’s white and Hispanic men that gravitate towards men. When I wear a weave black men notice me.

[@rhondadenis3469]

That’s the sad truth. But keep rocking the natural because the natural is truly yours and it’s beautiful.

In America, yes, in my Caribbean country, men love it

[@Mebby06]

@@CaribbeanGlow I did wear my natural how out in Lagos and the black men there still approached me.

[@CaribbeanGlow]

@@Mebby06 i lived in the Caribbean all my life and men always approached me with my natural hair, i never relaxed my hair, never wore a straight wig, no Caribbean man had a issue with my hair. In America, I'm invisible or black men give me double takes and seem to be unsure how to approach me. It is what it is. I don't wear my hair for men, but it does help deflect men with undesirable character traits.

[@Spiritualchar1111]

I stopped wearing weaves and straightening my hair 11 years ago when my daughter was 3 and said “Mommy why do you wear other people hair? She then said I like your hair better. Well I was completely convicted and I have been natural since. I reflected on the fact that as her mom I am her role model and if I don’t show her that I Love my natural self how will she learn to embrace and love her natural self. My husband absolutely adores my natural hair. Great content fellas 😊

😂😂😂 I was dating someone and he wanted me to straighten my hair. That was the end of what could have been a relationship. As transition into being an elder, not only is my hair “natural” I also stopped dying my natural hair.

[@esmooth919]

​@@illrizzocgg1009yes we do

[@TheMsOShow]

It wasn’t until I started wearing my natural hair did my confidence, self love, self esteem and power truly come out! It’s nothing more vulnerable yet powerful than when you shed that of which you’ve been taught to believe is your beauty and you find and embrace what is! I’ve been natural for 3 years and fully wearing it out with no extensions, wigs or weaves for one year and I absolutely LOVE my hair!!! It’s wild, it’s fiery, it’s different, it’s resilient, it’s most importantly MINE!!!!! Great video guys!

[@eyeamcinema]

Powerful! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Hardawayfits]

My ex is mexican. He love my curly fro ponytail. When I straightened he liked it but he always wanted me to do a big afro😊

[@xXJade_AssassinXx]

Same! My dude is latino and loves my big natural hair 😂❤

[@learningearning8385]

Blk men usually mean “real hair” as cancer causing “relaxed hair” or Spanish wavy. Anything but kinky hair. I appreciate these two for loving blk hair of all types and addressing the gaslighting.

US BLACK MEN LOVE BLACK WOMEN WITH 4C NATURAL HAIR. EVEN IN THE 70,S WHEN BLACK WOMEN WAS ROCKING AFROS THEY HAD NO PROBLEM WITH GETTING A BLACK MAN.

[@Vedanta1999]

This isn’t true sis. There are definitely some c**ns with toxic views but the majority like type 4 hair on women they find attractive. Men as a whole, if they find your face pretty and find you attractive, they like whatever grows out of your head trust me

[@CA-zf5kk]

This is the most beautiful language I’ve heard used by black men to describe our hair and beauty ❤ thank you! I also wanted to add that natural hair doesn’t automatically mean that she doesn’t want that $2,000 purse lol

[@DebbieSmith-pd9fz]

You mean 🐑 wool brillo pad afro head 😂

[@elofton777]

Let's be honest, not all. Some will look the other way no matter how modest we look. CHOICE

[@elofton777]

It's about confidence. Men know women do not always look beautiful in their natural hair. Enhance, men are visual.

[@Softman264]

These two guys have spoken so intelligently..... I appreciate you brothers.

[@eyeamcinema]

We appreciate you connecting with the show 🌹

[@tamikabutler3829]

I believe men just prefer a confident woman regardless if she displaying her natural hair or relaxed or weave I have been given more compliments since I’ve been Loc’d I believe it’s cause I became more confident rocking them

[@eyeamcinema]

Thank you for that insight!

[@marcasino3117]

How you get that from this discussion? Men of their caliber prefer women with natural hair. Lesser men may have lower standards.

[@Faith_mmack]

I don't think it's bad to wear a wig or box braids as a protective hairstyle because sometimes we need to give our hair a break. However, natural hair is beautiful. Find a routine that works for you and rock it with confidence.

[@DebbieSmith-pd9fz]

This protective style bs crap, protecting what ffs🙄 is an excuse for hiding the afro not showing it because of shame and let's be honest it is ugly like 🐑 wool or a brillo pad so please stop with the denial and self hate ffs 🙄

[@esmooth919]

When i was younger and more ignorant, I used to make fun of women who wore wigs as being "fake". Then i started growing my hair as a teenager. Had a few bad hair days. Needless to say, i stopped making fun of wigs after that.

[@feliciapena9952]

When I wear my big Afro. The YTP can’t stop 👀.

[@VirgosGroove3]

YTP?

[@Mariamk1995]

I love this video so much. Thank you for uplifting Black women. So many men do the opposite. Thank you both.

Please stay blessed

[@AbianahAlmeida]

I don’t care if men hated what grew out of my head I’m still gonna rock it regardless. I don’t wear any weave.

[@Fitman2024Wash]

Are you married

[@ertfgghhhh]

The jheri curl was a step back. The jheri curl was trying to have the mixed/looser hair look

[@esmooth919]

I'm glad my mother never let me wear that! 🤣🤣🤣

[@P03ticJustice]

They aint taking natural women on nice dates or paying bills. This lip service

[@esmooth919]

My girlfriend wears her hair natural, no perms, usually dyed green or purple; but she does get extensions when she gets her hair braided. That said, whenever her hair is out, I love her afro.

[@sciocezze68]

I agree 💯 dark skin light skin no matter, they are all beautiful and should embrace their beauty

[@sharry1445]

They like afto hair to fewl black but they will gravitate to softer straighter hair. I tried it once in a club guys were on me with the straight weave and the next week i had short hair i felt ignored because they moved to my friend who have long hair naturally but was relaxed. I wear my hair for versatility. But to this day its the same. Men say they love natural hair but it brings confidence which runs them away. Unless they already wwirh their women, vut veing single and natural is crazy in the vlack community.

Some women wear weave for protective styles. That’s the only reason I wear braids. My hair grows long and healthy, but it does need a break from time to time. My husband loves my natural hair, so do I.

[@space3555]

Braids are not the same as lace fronts

[@Spiritualchar1111]

I still consider braids as natural

[@African.Diaspora.InLondonUK]

❤❤ In the 80s i was referred to as a " coolie". In 2024, i am still being told " u not fully black ". Our people have problems & issues. Texturism is rampant..its why the black women r in the wigs

[@sandersshameka31]

Straight wisdom and facts.

[@nomessnostress]

Oooo these men ❤ and how they even had the examples and facts to back it up! Esp the man who wife has the buzz cut.... he is educated

[@alphapeters3474]

Big man as a black man it's not what you represent, it's what's you believe in as a tradition please, thanks to you brothers for the good work you guys are doing. We black men always believe in natural hair, finally black women need to understand that we know how God created them for us, so their is no way they can fake us with all these artificial fake stuff, no we ain't having please to all our beautiful black queen

[@yoanneM]

Yes we do!

[@emptynester547]

My natural hair is a nonnegotiable in this American society

[@tshepomotshepana7635]

Black man must foster and give the environment for black women to have the freedom to wear their crown also black man must also wear their hair like a crown.

[@leoskiss3390]

I think it depends on where you are located…..I live in Vegas and black men do not understand my curly hair look, I get compliments from white and non black men only. All the black men date “baddies” with lace front wigs

[@KB_theauthentic]

Too much fun

[@KnijMagz]

Nice video for sure!

[@jenn6638]

Full circle! Natural, change for the man, then man say they liked the natural you better in the first place. They've messed us up! 😢 STAND!

Volume is low 🙁 I turned my volume all the way up.

You mean that you men think if a woman has natural hair is cheap and you don't have to spend no money .Itproves the y only like it for financial reasons not because it's her real hair.

[@sandraharris1490]

Thats not true out here they run to straight hair they don't even look at us with our natural hair but me I wear my natural hair all the time and where a wig sometimes men's probably don't want to buy that hair I wear my regular hair 90% of the time

[@DeeDaKaang1]

​🤷🏾‍♂️ Ummmmmm.....If you're a straight woman that is looking to attract straight men, wouldn't your #1 goal be to make yourself attractive to the male gaze....If you didn't know real men of substance dislike: 1.) 🕷 Turantula sized eyelashes 2.) 9 inch finger 💅 nails 3.) And crazy multi-colored wigs 👩🏿‍🦰👱🏿‍♀️👩🏿‍🦳 4.) Short natural hair 👨🏽‍🦲 5.) Bonnets, leggings, and slippers outside of the house/ gym

[@sherwood9917]

The problem here is that you do not speak on behalf of all "men of substance"; you are speaking about YOUR personal preferences. If all "men of substance" dislike short, natural hair, despite knowing that hair length is primarily dictated by genetics, those men are not "men of substance."

[@jeannelletillery9270]

@@jeannelletillery9270 It's not for everybody, most men like women to look like women
