Conversely, some
women will tell you that they have become slaves to wearing make-up and other
things to accentuate or ‘enhance’ their natural features that they can’t even
imagine leaving the home without any of these ‘enhancements’. They wouldn’t be
caught dead without it! These words actually came out of the mouth of women known
personally and in passing. Some of them said that when they look in the mirror,
all of what they concentrate on are their flaws (blemishes, pimples, moles, skin discoloration,
etc.).
And you're right! There are also men who claim they prefer natural beauty but drool over celebrity women with their beautiful weaves, false nails, heavy makeup and false eyelashes.
Interestingly, there are
men of the opposite race/culture who appreciate another race/culture’s natural
beauty in regards to African American/Black women’s natural texture compared to
men of that same race/culture. Wonder why?
Is it true that white men appreciate natural hair more than Black
men do?
The author Dr. Corey Guyton, of the article, "WHITE
MEN APPRECIATE NATURAL HAIR MORE Than BLACK MEN: A BROTHA'S RESPONSE"
is honest about his insecurities that cause him to not appreciate his wife's decision to wear her hair natural. He discusses the socialization of black men and how they have trouble embracing natural black hair styles and textures. The author also shares his childhood and adolescent years of being around black women within the church, school and home, who put relaxers in their hair so he didn't exactly grow up with the women who embraced their African-heritage or kinky-coily-curly texture. This proves the point made in a previous post here about the brain-washing, self-hatred, conditioning and ignorance that still exist in many communities and within family concerning this issue.
