Why do black women straighten their hair?

Not all do. It's a hair preference, just like me being bald. People ask me "Why are you bald at such a young age?" Because I like it that way. I like so spice up my hair. Perhaps when I'm 40 I'll let it grow.

I do agree with you, though. I like black girls with frizzy hair. It looks like a puscy.

because they want their hair looks like a real hair...... not armpit hairhippiesanta

Yes curly hair is not so attractive for a woman. I don't find most women with curly hair so attractive.

None of the women in the photos you posted, TC, are full (i.e. real Black people). They're all mixed-race, which is why their hair looks the way it does. Here's a tip for you: a real Black person looks African, just as a real White person looks European, or just as a real Oriental person looks Oriental. You get me? No one would call a person who's only part White or only part Asian, White or Asian, respectively. Likewise, no one should call a person who's only part Black, Black as if they're entirely Black. To do so would be foolish. If that's the kind of hair you like, then I don't think you'll like pure, unadulterated Black people's hair (i.e. the real stuff), which I have. It's coarse and very, very curly.

I prefer to think of him as continuing our long line of white presidents. It's equally valid. :P

People can call a rock a glass of water if they want, but that doesn't make it so.

It's easier to style and maintain.

Many black women believe that in order for then to be accepted/hired in the work place they have to have straight hair. I have heard young black women say that they wouldn't hire another woman with more natural hair cause its no professional. Likewise many black men feel pressured to completely shave their facial hair in order to get hired. Im am biracial and I can tell you from experience that I resist frequently close shaving because the coarseness of my hair leave me prone to razor bumps and ingrown hairs. So i generally just trim my facial hair weekly. And thankfully my profession has a pretty loose standards for grooming (software engineering).

But black women have a a lot pressure on them and their hair,much of that pressure comes from their own pairs. Just looks at gabby douglas. Black gymnast, in the olympics, while playing a sport, other black women were criticizing her hair on twitter/internet. If you ever want to understand more about this check out a movie called Good Hair by Chris Rock, its not a comedy but a documentary he did inspired by his daughters. It will open your mind to the depths of this issue.Diablo-B

completely agree, I have that movie, it is pretty funny.

they can do whatever they want. i do prefer natural hair on black women, done up yes, but natural. no pressure though.

Bollocks. How can Barack Obama be as Black as a fully Black person if he's literally only fifty percent Black? My reasoning is objective, so you can cut back on the social issues of the Black community; they don't change anything. The fact of the matter is that from a biological standpoint, a fully Black person and a partially Black person are different, just as a mut dog is different from a pure breed. Me and Barack Obama are not the same. Period.

[QUOTE="MetalDogGear"] You and Blu-ray's minds have been poisoned with the idea that somehow one shade of black is darker than the others (metaphorically speaking) This notion of authentic blackness is what creates such antipathy between Africans and African Americans today The black community is one of the most segregated and divided communities in the world. Barack obama is just as black as you And he is also just as white as any other white person He has two sides of the coin, both heritages. There's no such thing as authentic blackness, at least among people with enough african heritage. Stop this "Blacker than thou" complex crapFreddyJeffery

[QUOTE="FreddyJeffery"] Just because the mom is white and the dad is black does not objectively mean 50%, Obama could be 76% black for all you know. If he is 75%, and they can test these things btw, and it's true, it's over 50% making him practically black. He does not look 50% black to me in anyway.FreddyJeffery

yeah i thought it was east africa that the first modern humans (who were presumably dark skinned) came from?

Call me crazy, but I'm guessing it's because SOME black women like the way it looks (you know, like how SOME white women like to curl their hair) :P

Society makes it seem like straight hair is the norm so that's why they're willing to spend hundreds of dollars at the beauty salon for it.

that's a terrible attitude to have.

If the hair was unkempt that'd be one thing, but if it's clean and tidy I can't see any problem.

I like curly hair and fros. It can look amazing.

[QUOTE="FreddyJeffery"][QUOTE="soulless4now"]Not good enough for some women. I'm also talking about the cost of weaves which can cost a few hundreds of dollars depending on what kind of hair is being used. soulless4now

[QUOTE="FreddyJeffery"][QUOTE="soulless4now"]Fake hair added into real hair.Nengo_Flow

No actually it doesn't. My sister and a few of the female members of the family have naturally long hair that straightens well. They don't need weave. Also, if you take care of your hair, don't get it wet, and wrap it up at night, you're hair can stay straightened and nice for about 5-7 days.
