Long Hair = Beauty

Our society has this preconceived notion that long hair equals beauty, especially in the black hair community. My roommate and I were talking about this very thing and I started thinking: "Why do people think that long hair equals beauty?" Maybe its because women with long hair are always talked about? Maybe its because its repeated in songs that men only want women with long hair? Or maybe its because our parents tell us that long hair equals beauty as well. My roommate was telling me that she knew a girl whose father told her that long hair means your beautiful, so she never cut it. So does that mean women with short hair aren't beautiful? Is Amber Rose not beautiful?

I think that our society is just ridiculous when it comes to the standard of beauty. Skinny=beauty, little feet=beauty, long hair = beauty? So are you then saying that those women that have the exact opposite for what ever reason are ugly? Halle Berry is often thought of one of the most beautiful black women but she had short hair at one time. She made short pixie hair cute, but was it not cute before?

I jut want people to think about this when they say they want long hair. What are your reasons for wanting long hair? Why do you think long hair is associated with beauty? So many of us say "I don't want long hair, i just want healthy hair." But then we join forums and websites and buy ridiculous products that promises impeccable growth.

When people say, by people I mean the ones we look up to, the rappers, singers, actors, actresses, moms, dads, grandmas, when they tell us that long hair means that your pretty then that makes that girl with short hair insecure. Then you wonder why so many people have insecurities, because you put that in us. In a very popular song pretty bog swag by soulja boy he says "I'm lookin for a yellow bone, LONG HAIRED star." So is short dark skin not beautiful?

I really want people to think about what they say, and how they say it. What older people say and do now will reflect how our generations will view beauty for years to come. I could go on about this but I'm going to stop here.

Beauty comes in all different shapes, sizes, and lengths and if people can't realize that NOW in 2010 then we have a long way to come.

Until next time.
