I don't get the double standard personally...

DJ Quik, Dru Down, Snoop, Andre 3000 have all pulled off the permed look quite well IMO.

It's all in your presence though and how you sport it.

 

[5thgearidah]

in short Women have different pressures for beauty and whats acceptable in society.

For the most part men w/ long hair is a no no in the business world

 

[wasps and asps]

back in the afro days mad people i know had perms. my boy Tru's perm lasted for a couple years

i use to want to do it back in the day cuz i was a big Bone Thugs fan.

hahaha no.

What is there to reply to?

conk =/= long hair?

I imagined that this post would've garnered a lot of response, but it looks like so far...too many kids on NT these days, people don't care, or peopledon't want to care.

I don't know what conk is but I had a long perm in high school tryna be an OG Crip

[put em up]

I really feel like the OP is trying to make hugh race debate thread, but nobody knows what he's talking about.


What the hell you mean, "why is it ok?"

It may look good on some and it may look like a box of socks on others.
