LOL...it IS easier being single and being able to do all those hair routines but I could leave that any day if I met the man of my dreams...

However, I think there are SO many cute ways to wear your hair naturally without using heat. Some suggestions are braidouts, buns with cute chopsticks, hair ornaments to dress up ponytails. Heck, just a long smooth ponytail is gorgeous to me! I think you may have gotten yourself into a rut with a pressing and you just need that one time where you don't do it...then I think things will change and you'll be ok with however you want to wear your hair. And I would tend to guess that as the relationship grows, you'll feel more comfy about sharing your little hair rituals!

(sorry if some of this was repeated but I didn't read everyone else's post first!)

I think your side ponytail with the hat cocked to the side style is banging and would work forgoing out. Why not wear that one next time you go out?

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah that particular hat came with an outfit and its pink...but your right, i think it would be a good idea to go find a few more of them in other colors to have more options.... just have to figure out where to find em

[/ QUOTE ]

Even if you don't find that exact hat, I've found that Kangol style hats work really well with the side ponytail look. Though I'm relaxed, I sometimes wear that look on the second or third day of a braidout (when it's not fresh enough to wear down anymore), so it's a similar "natural-ish" effect. I always get compliments when I wear it like that.

I too recently started dating a new guy, who met me when my hair was out...I usually wear a head wrap to protect my hair because it isn't long enough for protective styles yet, and because it's quick and easy. So I made a point to introduce him to my wrapped up head...in addition to my do-rag. He said it was cool...he thinks I'm cute regardless

!

So don't worry about your ponytails and stop neglecting your regimen...any guy worth the effort to press your hair for will understand that we have to take certain measures to have beautiful, healthy hair...and I'm sure he'd rather you keep the hair you have

, then risk losing it to damage just to be cute for a couple of dates. I'm sure your even irresistible in a ponytail

Your hair is slammin'!!!! Girl, it is gorgeous both ways! But I love the braid out/natural look better. MAybe u should experiment with some clips and a good hair gel to stop the poof effect. Pantene has a good gel without the alcohol. But girl, u don't need tips from me, please tell us how u grew your hair????

Also, I understand how u feel about the swangin' hair. I love that look too and went back to the iron a month ago, but I stopped after 1 month. Even though I wasn't using it often, it was often enough that it was starting to fry off my ends. My husband wants to throw it away. He loves my hair au natural and chances are this guy will too. I know how easy it is to feel confident with sleek hair, but u also have all that length and u can do a whole lotta styling with that!!

Irresistable, your hair is beautiful. I doubt he'd say anything about your hair being natural.

Do you wear your hair out loose and curly?

[/ QUOTE ]

i don't know if this was directed to me or home girl who started the thread, but as for me, yes, i wear my hair out and curly, frizzy, nappy; in all it's splendor. the first time we met up, i was sportin' a curly 'fro with a headband to hold it back with lots of olive oil in it for moisture. he claimed my hair smelled like pizza and that it made him hungry.

LMAO
