exotic. IMO when your light skin with long hair it's the norm.
It's like it's no surprise. Your suppose to be the black women with the long hair. When your a dark skin women with long hair Exotic.
Dark skin women are suppose to have the short hair.
I think in a way that's a good thing because as a dark skin woman it make you stand out more when you have long hair.
The question is what do you'll think, do you think I'm wrong or right.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting Plove's post...
This is what I thought she was trying to say...
"Most folks assume that light skinned chicks can grow long hair with no problem. However, they also assume dark skinned chicks can't. Therefore-when a dark skinned chick does have long hair---she stands out."
I step will step out on a line and agree with this statement. Because I think anybody with long hair looks "exotic". Long hair is on anybody is beautiful to me. So if you're foolish enough to believe I'm "extra special" 'cause my hair is longer than you would expect for black woman that's your burden to bare.
My mother is "darker" than me but always had bra strap or longer thick hair until she cut it. However--I still get excited when I see "darker" skinned woman with long lush hair. Why? Because they are constantly proving my beliefs to be true. We can all grow hair if we learn how to take care of it it has nothing to with your "background".
