Many women thrive on having a sense of independence and freedom of expression, that by no means excludes the freedom to express their sense of fashion and personal style. On the other hand, most REAL women will agree with me that having their spouse's approval (for lack of a better word) concerning their physical appearance is of somewhat importance. No woman wants to feel like her man is not too keen on how she looks or how she wears her hair. Many men will totally resent the idea of seeing their woman sporting their "natural roots" and this is sometimes attributed not so much because the man doesn't like the style but many times based on norms and stereotypes that they have been exposed to. For a very long the fashion industry has painted the picture that long, straight hair is the main indications of beauty. Thankfully this notion is becoming eroded more and more as people have started to embrace their sense of individualism and expressiveness by sporting their natural dos. I have been blessed to have a husband who is very liberated in his thinking and who always strives to be different from the crowd. From the very onset, when I shared the idea about going natural he was very supportive, excited even. His support made the transition that much easier and it was good to know that he would still find my new look attractive. Still loving and not regretting the conversion.
