Despite stereotypical and erroneous information, there are a lot of strong, intellectually astute, spiritually sound, progressive and handsome Black men who are still embarking on their search for their beautiful queen to spend the rest of the abundant lives with. In addition to looking for the internal beauty, these kings quite naturally look at the external aesthetics of prospective queens. And, believe or not, hair is one of the components of external aesthetics that these men pay attention to. Based on personal discussions with solid, single Black men in my everyday microcosm and from across the country, here are some realities associated with women’s hair and some myths that need to be debunked: Black men are only concerned with one thing and it’s not hair.
Reality: According to stereotypical information, single Black men are only concerned with “junk in the trunk,” even if a woman does not have the most aesthetically-pleasing face. In some cases, this may be true. But, one cannot generalize all single Black men in this category. To be sure, a nice “apple bottom,” a pretty face, pedicured feet and firm and plump cleavage do top most Black men’s lists, but many single Black men do pay attention to hair. And, many single Black men can attest to bypassing a single Black women that could be a prospective partner, because their hair is “jacked up” and disorderly.http://madamenoire.com/category/living/
