He had me until he said that.
And why is he even here with this topic? His "art" was not needed. The debate should have been longer.

Why wouldn't they get Elgin Charles to come on the show...he knows a ton more about hair. I saw one of Derek's client live

The men probably changed more minds than anyone did. They basically encouraged women to go natural.

LMAO @ Dr Drew he looked soooo confused! Just like any non-black who even attempts to tackle this subject. This issue is so deeply cultural you truly gotta be in it to even open your mouth on the subject imo.
I actually think most of those men are referring to going weave-less as natural more than anything else but I still think most of their opinions can't be trusted compared to their actions.

You're right! I didn't hear them mention go relaxer-less, just weave-less.

I agree on all counts. Women get so much flack from men because they wear weaves, especially lace fronts. But the "good hair" belief is still very much ingrained. I think if they had to choose, most of them would choose relaxed hair over natural hair, UNLESS said natural hair like a silky, type 2-3 that flows down a woman's back.
erplexed If your hair is "nappy" or "coarse", a lot of them will encourage women to get a relaxer.

For most men natural just means no relaxer...it's really not that deep to them. Most are clueless about what it takes to maintain our hair natural or relaxed. Why some of us place so much value on their opinions i'll never know....
DH just said to me : "as long as it ain't falling out while you walking it's ALL good!"

Yep, I agree
But like one of the men said at the barber shop, if you like a particular woman then you begin to like whatever hair she rocks, and that's everyday life. So I do believe many men may have an ideal but aren't so hard set on it that they'll pass up a beautiful woman with a weave or short natural hair.
It was refreshing to see good looking, seemingly normal black men speaking honestly about hair. Usually when someone asks black men about hair preference on camera they get the extra PC guys who say what they think the interviewer wants to hear..
ETA: Men talk sooo bad about weaves but in everyday life I never see a nice weave working against a woman, ya know? I guess I don't get it..
