Does The Kind Of Hairstyle You Keep Define Who You Are? by Diffdeef(m): 8:09pm On Nov 08, 2014
Let me cut this thread in 2,the first one should be what my subject is which is "does the kind of hairstyle you keep define who you are? Then the second should be the best hairstyle a guy should stick to? They're quite related so the first one first...Let's begin*

I'm a guy,so I'm focused more on men's hairstyle,people can really put a niggur in a state of confusion,they think the kind of hairstyle an individual rocks defines who he is,attitude/behavior/upbringing/ etc...like most people in our society think a guy that goes on lowcut automatically becomes gentle and things of sort?? Emm and a niggur that goes on punk,afro-punk,mohawk..eem..dada etc is some kind of indecent lousy tout,Lol or some kind of bad niggur who spends most of his time on trivial things?? U know what I mean...earthly things? One of my pal that rocks this grown axx punk hair told me how people ask him if he's a musician or something related? lemme not type much...I just don't fink the kinda hair u rock got anything to do wif u,I know some guys on rugged-type hair buh are cool af...gentle and well behaved,you can only know someone better by being close to the person at least for quite a while not by mere sighting of someone's hair,smh ppl dumb. Emm no 2.

The best hairstyle a guy should stick to?? To you reading this,what's yo best? Mehnn for years I don't know the kinda hair I should stick to,most peeps say lowcut is the best,in a way they think it's more mature than others,buh lowcut no fit me that much!! Keeping my hair grown does,like a mini afro buh yet lots of peeps,my fam too bash me ehh...jumping down my throat...like niggur go get your hair cut!! Altho they know they can't make me,but why do they make it seem like a terrible thing? No be wetin fit me?? That's all...now yall comment...I even heard some gurls say they like guys on lowcut and some also said they like guys wif grown hair and other stylish hairstyle. Confused af smh.

Honestly, I am big victim of what you just wrote.
I've been growing my hair for a year and half now

Everybody is just complaining, from my parents to most people in school. I'm even asked to leave leshures sometimes, some even term me a cultist undecided

I don't know why people think that the kinda hair one keeps defines him, it's so wrong undecided


That I decide to go low on cutz changes noffin in me, same as growing it . People needs to start changing that silly ideology undecided

Your hair definitely does not define who you are as a man. Its all about your personal preference.

Most African parents will always desist full hair.

The other day I told my cousin that he should try keeping his hair. He told me that people will see him as an irresponsible person, that he can not do such.

I believe that if you want to keep a small afro,,maintenance is the key. If full hair is untidy and rough, it could definitely send out the wrong message to people.

There are a lot of responsible men,,who keep their hair very full and vice versa. So don't allow this minor issue to weigh you down

Thanks marieolae...

@Op...I would say you are not the only person experiencing this.

I like keeping my hair full and this started when I left secondary school because we were not allowed to grow our hair to any length. So I decided to keep it full and I like it.

Although most people say I look finer on low-cut but I tell them it's not because of being fine,,i'm just so attached to my hair. tongue

This could affect your studies or career in a way though. In my department,,i was fined for my full hair and I was told to reduce it,,although I didn't.

Apart from school,,my siblings and parents are cool with it.

Your hairstyle does not define your character,,but it can prevent you from many things. You can't carry dreadlocks to go for a job interview.

So you grow your hair according to the situation you find yourself in life tongue

Hmm.am also going through the same thing. I have been know to be a gentle guy of good conduct. but ever since I braided my hair I have turned into a bad guy over night.. The young ones and the ladies love it. I even receive compliments from random people.. But the parents and the holy holy people .. Hmmm.. I remember going to the market and one of my mum customers saw me. She asked if am an artiste and I said no. Then she came closer and told me as a child of God the bible says that boys should barb low cut.. I was like After 5 days I took the braids off cos of the pressure.. But I though of it.. Am not suppose to give a 4k. Afterall you are not feeding me.. If u can accept me for who I am then that ur biz.. The african crowd mentality is bad

bro! if the hair brings out the best in you keep it.another thing is the kind of person you are.i'm a free thinker/non-conformist so people can't actually tell me what to do with my brain and even my hair.people call you a fool when you grow long beards.if the lenght of a man's beard should be used as a tool to measure his foolishness then wole soyinka deserves an award in foolery abi na moronism.

IMO,i don't think the hairstyle you sport defines you...instead it kind of gives an insight into the kind of person you could be.

As in my case, I really do like keeping afros though. It's just something I adore. It makes me look outstanding amongst all my peers way back when in secondary school. All the girls in my class and the next, and the next, they all love my looks. Because of my looks, I find it easy to get a word in edgeways with almost any girl. Cute right? It's just like a booster of courage and high self-esteem to me. It's just so sad I now go with the ”punk-style” hair-do. Anyways, I for one still looks cute in it. Oh! How I miss my afro haircut.

That aside sha, I still don't think that one's hair-do determines his character or attitude. It's in the heart. Who wan bad go bad. Sha me got into a great méss back while I was in secondary school sha. Our Vice Chancellor gave me one heck of a time. She said I most cut my hair oh. For where! I nor cut am kakaka! Then she went forth labelling me a stigma in my class. Come see, class go dey go on, that old lady go find me and a few come class with scissors. See where men dey locate the nearest window. cheesy Till I finish school she nor gree me rest. Anyways sha, she was the worst ordeal I ever came up with while in school then. Thank God nobody go fit come question me as per the kind of hair I carry now.

Old pinshure of my ”curly, non-greasy and oily extra sheen hair,” just had to borrow cupidhero's lines in that. cheesy

If u go for low cut,they term u as a good guy,if u go for afro, some see u as a good guy and some as a bad guy but if u go for punk +parting+a little afro with coils, majority term u very bad but if u go to the extent of plaiting ur hair,almost everyone thinks u are a cultist. BUT IT shouldn't be this way,People shouldn't be assessed by their hairstyles. But I partially agree that excessive and provocative haircut(styles) do mean u really are a bad guy.
