Has anyone seen the movie "Good Hair" by Chris Rock. I'm wondering if it'll be released here in the UK?I was planning on getting a relaxer to straighten my hair at the end of the month. My boyfriend has made it very clear that he doesn't want me to use any chemicals in my hair. He wants me to sport an Afro. Now, I have much love for "sistas" who wear their Afro well. But it just isn't for me. It just wouldn't look right on me. Now, I need to convince my boyfriend of that.
Your thoughts?

I like the look of an afro on some women but I gather that the big fluffy ones are a PITA to keep looking good. My GF who has long blond straightened hair which i think looks great. Here skin has sort of a cinnamon hue to it. Her hair is not high maintenance. I think she would look great with an afro but it would not be worth the aggravation. It's your hair and if you wouldn't feel comfortable with an afro then you shouldn't do it. Dotec.
I'm so happy for you...that you have a boyfriend and you're in love, but I cringe everytime I hear any person defer to their partner using the phrase "he/she does not want me to do it". If YOU choose not straighten your hair because YOU are against chemicals (or whatever) then it's a good decision for you. However, if you choose to do or not do something soleley out of deference, but without conviction, you're in real danger of losing your SELF.
It is possible for two people in a loving relationship to have differing value systems, yet still be respectful of eachother's decisions. For instance, my husband still eats at KFC, whereas I have boycotted them for five years because I think they're ass-hats for continuing to use caged chickens that are so mistreated. I can be disappointed that my husband doesn't value the same things I do, but I still love him, and leave him to make his own choices.
Your man can be disappointed that you used a chemical straightener in your hair, but it doesn't have to stop you from making your own way, whether or not he agrees. Sometimes, ya just gotta agree ta disagree!
If a situation becomes a relationship breaker...then you have to take that into consideration and re-evaluate it for the sake of the continued relationship. However, if it is a relationship breaker ...should it be? I mean, does the 'situation' warrant the reaction?
Wishing you much love and continued happiness,

It's your hair, it's your body you know what's going to work for you or not. This " i love you natural " is good for a couple of years, but then, it just stops working for either you or your boyfriend.
I also get this regularly and i still do what is good for me and he loves it because it's who i am.
Stand up for yourself, you didn't start existing when he appeared.
