When I met my DH he was in braids so I didn't know what was underneath...
One day he came over my house and his hair was out. I was mortified to say the least, but by then we were getting serious LOL Lucky for him! Otherwise.. LOL I asked him why he'd do such a thing (he's soo not a pretty boy) and he was confused, didn't know what a relaxer was. The dummy didn't know that the slore (don't like her) doing his hair was putting a relaxer in to make it easier on her to braid his hair. Anyway he was not allowed to let it flow freely around me. I told him it was GHEY.
Two years after we got married he got his hair cut bald. He then let his hair grow long again, but he is NOT allowed to put a relaxer on his hair. I told him that if he puts a relaxer in his hair again he's not allowed to touch me LOL

I find it difficult to take a man with long hair seriously unless it is well manicured dreds; and one that has a relaxer, texturizer, blow-dry, press-n-curl, corn rows, extensions, etc. typically makes me cringe. Still, to each one’s own…just don’t be surprised if I ask you to arch my eyebrows.

grown men can do whatever they want...but my man (when i get one 
)wont be partaking in that foolishness.
its almost 2011 and no grown man should have long hair unless its locked...your loose hair shouldnt be longer than mine, and i cant take you seriously if you're a male over the age of 5 and you with hair in a ponytail or even worse, braids.

I remember a lot of boys in high school getting S-Curl kits in their hair. I never liked it... never seemed manly to me. Bone-laxed hair on a man is even worse.

i'm not a fan of men with relaxers, however, Real from 'Real Chance of Love' on VH-1 was my boo (on the right). I would play in his hair all day!
the both look extra zesty. *3 snaps in a z-formation*

I don't like to see men with relaxed hair, but if it is relaxed...does it really have to be put in spirals too?
erplexed They both get the *side-eye* from me. The jury is still out on both of them.

I'm responding to this thread without reading all of the responses, but I MUST say, I grew up in a household that if a man did more than shampoo and brushed his hair, it wasn't masculine at all. I remember seeing Al Sharpton during the presidential debates several years ago with his relaxed hair and thought "does this dude really think people are going to elect a president with that hair--representing our country?" Hope I don't offend anyone.erplexed

How do you feel about men that have chemically altered their hair? Would you "allow"/encourage it?
I just found out my cousin texturizes his hair and I feel some sorta way.
Nope. I perceive them as country/ghetto and automatically think about the scene in Malcolm X after he got his first perm and said, "oooh weee! Looks white don't it?"

Whew, thanks for confirming. I can't look at them without going, "who are they kidding?"

Does the long hair thing only apply to Black men? There's plenty of non black or other black cultured males that have long hair for self expression, for traditional reasons or just because they like that.
Halle has a short *** cut and Amber has a buzzed bald head and they wear trousers a lot. I spose they are lesbians and should get a weave pronto and buy some flowery dresses while they are at it

for me i dont like long hair on any grown man of any race...you might get a pass from me if you cant cut it because of religious or cultural/traditional reasons.
&amber rose really was a lesbian b4 yeezy taught her.
not that that has anything to do with her hair (plus, it used to be long) but, i'm just sayin.

I like a man with long hair/braids (eta: and I'm quite partial to locs, just not too long like MBL locs). I just don't like it straightened/conked out unless that his natural texture. Just as long as it looks nice and is clean.

I think men of other cultures are pretty much the same...or perhaps they have it a little harder. It's not like it's okay for them to "hide" behind braids.

Even though I only like long hair if it's in locs, for me the issue is a BM putting a PCJ on his head. I've seen BM with one big afro puff and I think even that is better than an S-Curl kiddie kit or Mizani on a grown man's head.

I've always thought men should look masculine/rugged...so that as a woman, my femininity is seen as a nice contrast. So when a guys hair is chemically altered and eyebrows perfectly done, I'd honestly feel a little bit insecure!!
So my answer is no. Natural hair is the most flattering for men, imo.

This makes me think of the Malcolm X scene when Spike Lee's character finishes doing Denzel/Malcolm's perm only to find that there's no water in the house! Him washing his perm out in the toilet has always stayed with me

Back on topic, men with chemically altered hair is a no go for me.

NO no no no no no, I would not encourage it at all. To me, men with relaxers are an automatic turn off and from what I've seen it's never well kept anyway to even allow some leniency. It's a little sexist, yes, but there are things that men find that women shouldn't do because it equates to masculinity. Well this is something I think men should completely avoid due to its relation to femininity.
