A Man's Perspective: Women's Natural Hair

Hey everyone, Natural Bombshell here with another interview. This time we get into the focus of What Men Think. Honestly ladies we can talk about ourselves all day long but a percentage of what we do to ourselves has a little to do with them. It’s healthy to have some insight on the ones who love looking at us because you know we love to keep them looking *wink*.

I take you into the beautiful mind of Michael Jean, he is an educated college grad and entrepreneur from Boston, Massachusetts. Even though I’m used to Cole being hilarious and lighthearted, he kicked it with me on a serious real talk tip about this subject, giving us his honest perspective on what Men are thinking and feeling about our cosmetic choices.

1.) How do you feel about women who rock weaves, wigs, or extensions?

I can go on for hours on that question but I’m going to K.I.S.S. as possible. I feel that women who wear weaves, wigs. etc. are self conscience about how they look and are desperately trying to be accepted by society. In other words, I don't see how a person can "keep it real" with others when they are being fake with themselves. False advertisement. I'm going to stop there.

2.) As long as your lady looks good does it matter?

It does matter. I think she would look better without it. 

3.) Does the infamous head scarf bother you when your girl wears it to bed? 

The scarf does not bother me. I understand the purpose of it. No issues there.

4.) Natural Hair (coily, curly, kinky) vs. Straightened hair. What’s you’re preference?

I prefer natural 

5.) Would you support your significant others choice to go Natural?

Yes, I would support her if she decided to go natural.


6.) You chose dreads as a hair choice, was that for style or culture?

It was for style. I am not attached to it.

7.) Real talk, what do you and your boys say about chicks that choose not to chemically straighten their hair? 

We appreciate women who do not chemically straighten their hair. So if anything, we usually compliment them.

8.) Long hair ugly girl or Short hair pretty girl? 

Short hair pretty girl.


9.) What are you working on these days? 

  I am working on a few projects. I am a photographer with Beyond Lenz Images. (1 of 3 COFOUNDERS) I am also a videographer with 86925 Productions and Superior Pictures (CEO).
I'm Planning on shooting my first short film called LIE BE TOLD in the Spring with hopes that it will bring in potential investors to fund my feature project called NORTHERN HOSTILITY.

10.) Where can we find out more about this?

The websites are in the works but you can contact me/us through Beyondlenzphotography@gmail.com / 86925productions@gmail.com or SuperiorPix@gmail.com. This is a link to some of my photography work

One more question - Ok, we can understand weaves/wigs being false advertisement but what about every now and then or just because?

Why wear a weave or a wig?

Why wear different shoes? To switch it up of course.

In this day and age shoes/sneakers are a necessity. Weaves/wigs are not.

Lol, being tough on the wigs. 

Lol. a little. Again I'm speaking for tha mass. It varies per individual. 


Thanks Cole for the input,you might have pissed a few ladies off but that aint nothing new for men.
If you're in the Boston area make sure you check out Cole and his partners at Beyond lenz photography. I've seen some of their work and it's really excellent. Make him take a picture of you in a very big wig. Lol

Blessings, Natural Bombshell

Inside Out Beauty

Don't consider this cheating. When I said I would feature fellow naturals I meet out  in public, I didn't mean I would be lazy enough to scan Whole Foods. Besides I think people who care about what goes inside should have just as much attention as those who do on the outside. 

Meet..... I forgot to ask for her name. Sorry, I just got wrapped up into your hair. Forgive me.. If your reading go ahead and leave your name in a comment or you can continue to be our Anonymous Bombshell.

Me: What's a tip you would like to share with other naturals about our hair care?

AB:  (laughs) Ugh I hate to sound redundant but... Moisturize. it is so important.

Me: What do you use for your dreads?

AB: I use a lot of oils like Jojoba, Olive oil, things like that.


Anonymous Bombshell and I then swapped dry hair stories.Dry hair and skin problems since moving to Hotlanta, Georgia. I whipped off my beanie, with a flower on it, to show her just what I was talking about Lol!

We chopped it up on the subject of how the good things we put inside our bodies will definitely echo on the outside. So I made a pledge to drink more water for experimental purposes. It couldn't hurt right? Ill keep you guys posted. In the mean time I'll moisturize and keep a spray bottle of water mixed with Olive Oil and  Aloe Vera juice handy so my hair doesn't emulate a tumble weed.

I will like to thank Anonymous Bombshell for her time and redundant but extremely important tip. We can't stress the vitality of moisturizing our tresses enough. It prevents breakage and aids in retention which promotes growth. And who doesn't want that? Until next time.
