If her afro is larger in different segments and its looks unclean, then I don't view it as favorablyDaniel Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057501217295052010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1289789945266773793.post-61093625912984969312010-11-05T14:43:36.388-05:002010-11-05T14:43:36.388-05:00LOL.

I think we've, in a way, been conditioned to think of "professional hair" in a certain way: it has to be "neat," "manageable," "well groomed," etc.<br /><br />My only thing is that the conceptions of those terms typically don't make room for the natural texture of someone's nappy hair. When people say the hair has to be "neat," they're usually saying that it has to "lay down" or "lay back." Well, nappy hair can be made to do that. I just wonder if that should be the case. <br /><br />I would argue that those terms are relative, but I know that would open up a can of worms on hair color and mohawks. I suppose a line has to be drawn somewhere, but it would be great if that line didn't invalidate nappy hair, which it often does. That is all. :-)Moka B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13963236881983803700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1289789945266773793.post-57147829103413021722010-11-04T22:06:06.640-05:002010-11-04T22:06:06.640-05:00If we're just hanging around the house, I don&...If we're just hanging around the house, I don't really care how she wears her hair. However, in a professional setting, I need it to look manageable, by which I mean if she could just throw a scrunchy on and tie her hair back, it would look fine.<br /><br />I don't like the direction this is going and I have the feeling you're somewhat annoyed with me. So, I'm just going to bow out of this.Daniel Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057501217295052010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1289789945266773793.post-48626529667298114302010-11-02T10:49:04.075-05:002010-11-02T10:49:04.075-05:00Actually, Daniel, I haven't seen Sesame Street...Actually, Daniel, I haven't seen Sesame Street in years, but I saw the video like the rest of the world. Lol. I have a question though: if a woman's nappy hair grows in every direction, why can't she wear it that way? How do you define "manageable"? OK, that's two questions...Moka B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13963236881983803700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1289789945266773793.post-70656986734537516662010-11-01T19:30:02.491-05:002010-11-01T19:30:02.491-05:00Times have definitely changed.

That's not a diss or anything, just one of the first observations I received when I read this. Nappy hair can be good/attractive as long as it's manageable. I don't need a woman looking like Macy Gray with hair just flowing everywhere in every directionDaniel Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057501217295052010noreply@blogger.com
