It gives me the heeeeeeeeebeeeeeees, its just tooooo big and unkempt looking (if thats how you spell it?)

Its sheer hugeness stops it being cool when a wee trim would have done wonders for it I think!

How does he wash that mop?

Yuk pretty much sums his hair up for me.

so...AIBU?

I think his hair is vile.... I long to get the clippers out whenever I see him.

Nits? He could probably have a family of gerbils and a fieldmouse in there.

Shame, becuase he's basically a good-looking bloke.

isnt htis a teensy little but.. er racist?
its his natural hair?

AitchTwoToTangOh · 10/10/2009 14:18

er, no. it's a haircut.

NyeEve · 10/10/2009 14:19

but he is mixed race non?

AitchTwoToTangOh · 10/10/2009 14:30

he's just a guy whose 'fro is a bit too long, as i see it.

AitchTwoToTangOh · 10/10/2009 14:32

yum jamie should cut his, it looks like a bad party wig at that length.

JackBauWooohooohoowaaer · 10/10/2009 14:41

DD2 has hair like that. Every time DH and I watch X Factor we wince at the thought that she will end up looking like that unless we tame it now!

(Not a good look for a red headed child methinks...)

CybilLiberty · 10/10/2009 14:58

This is why I didn't start this thread in case someone accused us of racism. Are we only allowed to dislike white peoples natural hair?

CybilLiberty · 10/10/2009 14:59

That made me sound crosser than I am

AitchTwoToTangOh · 10/10/2009 15:04

lol, you maniac.

JackBauWooohooohoowaaer · 10/10/2009 15:16

DD2 is white, you can hate her hair

chegirl · 10/10/2009 16:54

Dont like it. I love a good afro but they take a hell of a lot of looking after. My boys have all had them at some point but all that combing and teasing to get them even and nice! Now they have dreads because they take less maintaining.

He has made the mistake of thinking an afro is just about growing your hair. No no no. Get yourself a decent comb and some moisturising treatment and maybe a bit of texturizing cream.

GoppingOtter · 10/10/2009 21:36

i find this thread a bit repulsive tbh

its just natural hair?? whats the problem?

PoppyIsApain · 10/10/2009 21:41

I like it from a distance, if i went out with him it would make me cringe lol

No, you hadn't mentioned it

TheHeadlessWombat · 10/10/2009 22:03

The problem is that it looks dirty and unkempt. I love a nice afro but his is anything but nice.

AitchTwoToTangOh · 10/10/2009 22:03

oh really, how exciting hooch. i didn't know.

it's natural hair grown TOO LONG and it looks SHIT. this is some perverse reverse racism going on i think. my hair is brown and goes straggly if it gets too long... if i was on the telly i'd expect people to comment on it. i wouldn't assume that they were anti-white people. or in my case pale blue, being a jock.

chegirlknowswhereyoulive · 10/10/2009 22:04

Whats that you say Hoooochie?
Did I hear right?
Is it true that your amazingly talented DH has written and coproduced a track on the new Alexandra Burke Album???!!

GoppingOtter · 10/10/2009 22:04

i love it
i love all long hair
not seen it in rl but looks clean on pic
nothing repulsive about it

ilovemydogandmrobama · 10/10/2009 22:05

you're athletic?

AitchTwoToTangOh · 10/10/2009 22:09

AitchTwoToTangOh · 10/10/2009 22:10
