Black Men and Our Natural Hair Identity

Brothers, it don't matter how "kinky" your hair may be or how many times it may have been called "nappy", your hair can be easily used to define yourself as a black male!

When I started growing my kinks, I was able to see a see of myself I hadn't seen before, never in my life have I had my hair expressing itself like this and I can tell you from brother to brother that you gotta lay off the clipper and grow those kinks at least once in your lifetime!

So much worth it :-)

Peace

Natural Black Hair and the African Diaspora

My brothers and sisters of our African diaspora, our naturally curly kinky hair is one asset of ours we must cherish. Black men seem to have this notion that destroying their natural hair with frequent buzzes helps to portray a more male image, but I disagree. I think we black men and our black sisters have been led to hate our hair in today's society as it represents the very African spirit that stems from our dark skin. My belief is that by cutting our hair without considering other hairstyle options equally, we are submitting ourselves to self hatred without allowing ourselves to even consider priding ourselves in our African hair.

A black man can style his hair however he may want but he should never stop considering a natural way of styling his hair! I used to think my kinky hair deserved as much buzzing as I could afford to subject it but it has been with my natural hair realization that I now not only take pride in my hair but in myself as another brother of our diaspora.

Peace my family :-)

Natural Hair Men: Back to To Our African Roots

Natural black hair is the hair of our ancestors in our African motherland, it's our hair that identifies us and that liberates us as black men and women from all corners of our diaspora.

Naturally kinky hair that is properly looked after will look great, whether that be in black woman or black men. I urge all black brothers to try at least once to grow their kinks a couple of inches and see how their own image improves and they are cpable to dig deeper into who they really are. I am myself on my journey to growing my kinky hair and the experience is so much worth it :)

Cool Men's Afro Hairstyle for Natural hair

Love this picture of a cool long afro hairstyle. Natural hair should be just that, an expression of freedom and of self embracing yourself and who you are, that's why I personally decided to grow my 'fro a year ago and be myself and be happy as a black man who is pressured by society to keep my curls buzzed :)

Natural Afro Haircut Looking Good!

A natural Afro hairstyle, that's what i'm talking about! The right haircut for a natural afro is just as important as its hair care. In the picture below, the hair length is left at the top and then tapered in length towards the nape. Gives a great shape don't you think??

Lenny Kravitz Natural Hair Inspiration for Black Men

Lenny Kravitz is such an inspiration for me and my natural hair. As black men, I fully believe that embracing our natural curly hair is important so as to fully maximize ourselves as men.

Our sisters for so long have had to adapt the straight hair western standard whereas our brothers have had to keep their hair buzzed and inexpressive. Sisters, brothers...wake up! Embrace your black natural hair like Lenny Kravitz no matter your gender and be proud of what makes you as a human being!

Black Natural Hair Rocks!

I love black natural hair and I encourage other black fellow men to grow their coils and kinks in their free form, because our kinky hair is beautiful and strong!
