What's the deal with black women who wear straight hair or go bald?

Straight hair is much easier to manage than kinky or curly hair. (Ask any woman with a tight curl hair texture.)

And short-cropped or close-shaven hair is easier to maintain than a voluminous, fluffy, curly mane (a la Chaka Khan).

(Wash, towel dry, brush and go hair it is not.)

I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

People with naturally straight hair will never be able to appreciate how much work is required to keep kinky-curly Sub-Saharan African-type hair soft, neat and detangled in an unplaited or unstraightened state.
