Here are some reasons people I interviewed as to why they don't have dreads, locks, nappy hair or natural hair styles.
1. My hair is a mess naturally, I just don't like it.
2. You need to perm your nappy head!
3. I can't stand nappy hair.
4. Your perm is so beautiful.
5. Dreadlocks are nasty looking.
6. You have good hair.
7. I'm having a bad hair day, my hair is too nappy, I can't wait to go to the beauty shop and get my hair styled and permed again.
8. I'm 57 years old and have been going to the hair dresser every two weeks all my life to get my perm touched up and styled.
9. It's just not me, to have natural hair, I wasn't raised like that.
10. I like a clean hair cut, the afro is ugly.
11. The fade is in.
12. Every since I was 5 years old my mom has pressed my hair with grease to keep me pretty.
13. You're crazy to walk around with nappy hair, I wouldn't be caught dead looking like that.
14. Dreads are not for me or my children.
15. My grandmom say, "It's disgusting to walk around with nappy hair. She said it's not right.
