I’ve had billions of conversations with my girls about hair and dating – should I tell him it’s a weave? what happens if he tries to run his fingers through my hair? How do you “do the do” and keep your hair/scarf in tact? He likes long hair, but I want my hair short… I’ve heard em all.
Which leads to the question.. is our hair to please him? We work out, wear his favorite color, get mani-pedis, wear his favorite perfume, etc.. easy right. Those are easy because they are all interchangeable. Your hair is permanent and when he’s not around, you have to look at yourself and that hair in the mirror.
I have had a wide variety of mates from Mr. I love your hair any way you style it, the I want your hair short guy, the we shouldn’t both be going to the barber shop so let it grow out guy, and the guy who requested cornrows (the jury is still out on him)! And to be honest, I’ve taken all of the feedback into consideration. I’ve never done a drastic change like a chop or bra strap extensions, but I do always keep in mind the things that I can control. When I met my boyfriend, my hair was SUPER short and I’m going through my stage of letting it grow and I even still ask myself should I keep it short.. I mean that IS how he met me right?
I read an interesting post of a girl going natural and she contemplated wearing her hair curly or if she should straighten it, because she didn’t know how her hair would be received.
So, I pose the question to you, is our hair to please him? How far would you go with your hairstyles to please your mate?
