A call to all African-American women….YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
Welcome back people…..Hope everything has been well. A lot of women have recently made the decision to go natural, and Raven Symone has been the latest. This latest trend is one that I hope sticks around from now until the end of the time.
From my middle school days up until now, I have seen all kinds of hairstyles. I laugh now and think back to my days as a kid when I would love to see a girl with long braids down her back, or a head full of straight hair that came down to her back. Man was that sexy to me….lol
But now that I’m a grown man, I think nothing is more attractive than a woman with natural hair. Though natural hair is technically hair that hasn’t been permed, I like to think of natural hair that is YOUR hair. Nowadays, so many girls doctor themselves up with an abundance of weave on their head that it takes away from their natural beauty.
My girlfriend and future to be wife (love u ~Sarah~) has a head full of beautiful black hair. She has never had a perm, and never fails to make that point when talking about her hair. So from being with her, I realize how much time and care goes into straightening, caring for and styling hair that has never had chemicals on it (and man do I pay for this when it’s time to go somewhere…lol).
But seeing a woma in their natural state (no makeup, no extravagant hair) should be the eighth wonder of the world. Ladies let me tell you…a man wants a woman who’s as comfortable with herself as he is with her. We’ve all heard the cliche “beauty is skin deep,” and this saying could not be anymore true. So ladies, peep game…
If you have to go the extra mile on a daily basis to feel secure with yourself, or to feel that you’re beautiful, I am here to tell you…that is not the way to go. A real man loves his woman the way she is when she steps out of bed. No hair pieces, weaves, wigs, ponytails, globs of makeup etc.
Now please don’t get me wrong and think that I have anything against these things. They are creations that serves to be very helpful and beneficial, while also adding a sense of style. But too many (way too many) women are making these the norm, rather than the occasional.
Long hair; Short hair; Don’t care…. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL. However you are, just be happy being you. That’s when the real sexyness shows.
Signing out to my kings and queens….until next time

How sweet it is to be natural and how sweet it is to be with a man that appreciates it!
I love my future husband, just the way you are baby <3
Yes people, natural is the best choice when it comes to hair, and to me, that means no perm. He's right, I've never permed my hair. Growing up, I used to see the little girls who could just jump in the swimming pool with/without a swimming cap with no worries, or who could run through the sprinklers that lined the neighborhood blocks with no worries, and who just had straight hair all the time. I used to want a perm because it seemed the easier route- easier than the long nights of pressing out freshly washed & nappy hair, easier than going to school on picture day with puffy eyes from crying all the night it took to fully press out the hair- easier than being enemies with the pressing comb all together (thank God for the flat iron, haha). Though, I never regretted it. My mama chose not to perm my hair and I didn't question it. Today, I can say I appreciate it and it is one thing I will always carry on with me. I will never perm my hair nor my future kids' hair (Cordell already knows the deal lol).
So, I say no to weaves and perms, and YES TO NATURAL…because in the end, it proves itself to have many more benefits and attributes to your self. Natural hair is indeed beautiful hair and is the best experience your hair can ever have 
Nor am I with the big, long dramatic weaves being sported by sooo many these days- it's just too much. Also, everybody is starting to look the same. Therefore, I'm cool on the big weaves, etc. I'm perfectly fine with ME!
