Of course it has to do with whatever you like. But do some do it thinking their hair is not beautiful enough? I absolutely love afro's! They are so beautiful and really bring out a person's eyes and compliment the face. I have seen many different ways to wear an afro some have different type curls and some highlighted, some are let to grow free and some are kept shapely. Some are kept short and others long.

Being diverse. Not all Black people have natural afros, but have natural kinky hair. We like to be diverse and stand out at times. We don't want the same hair style as everyone else. Some wear extentions or weaves and they look really nice, despite it not being their hair. Even braids or corn rolls, I've seen so many different styles with braiding hair, and they look good. Some like the natural kinky look, and many can pull it off. Or they might want it straight, especially girls or guys with long hair, they love to show that Black people have long hair too, and again, it looks nice.

I straighten my hair, I cut it, I do almost everything to it EXCEPT let the "naturalness" show. Not that there's anything wrong with having a fro, I mean there are some people who look really good with them, as well as dreads, but then again there are some people who look just as good when their hair is straight so I suppose it's just up to the individual. I personally don't like my hair to be unkempt because it makes me as a person just feel...bad for some reason. Like I'm not myself in a way. I've been getting my hair relaxed since I was like five so I guess I'm just accustomed to it now.

Well, I am black and I have my hair natural. I straighten it as a styling option usually in winter because it will stay longer. Some black women use relaxers, a chemical concoction, that to straighten their hair. When I really became comfortable with my hair (and I think myself) I began wearing my hair in natural styles. Unfortuantely some of us do it because of the stigma associated with having "nappy" hair. Also remember that some of us cant grow afros because we have straight hair. I am glad you are a fan of Fro's. Thanks
