00:00Have you noticed that your hair choices, whether it was long, short, curly, straight,
00:06may have affected your dating life?
00:08I think it doesn't affect it in a negative way.
00:11I feel like I just get a different...
00:13I get approached all the time, honey.
00:14Just to make it very clear.
00:14Let's just go ahead and put that out there.
00:16But I feel like I definitely get approached by a different type of man.
00:21True.
00:22Depending on what hairstyle I decide to wear.
00:24You know, when I take it down to the kneecaps, you know, I get the little young, you know...
00:28Little tenderone.
00:29Little tenderonies, you know.
00:30Damn.
00:31When I have it short and sassy, I may get approached by, you know, a working man, you know?
00:38You know, on Wall Street somewhere.
00:40Well, I've been married, like, almost 24 years, and my husband loves my curly hair.
00:47Occasionally, very rarely, like twice a year, I blow my hair out straight.
00:50Very different train ride and walking down the street.
00:54Oh, you look so nice today.
00:55Oh, good afternoon.
00:56And I'm like, I have on jeans and flip-flops, but my hair is straight.
01:01So there's a different response.
01:02Oh.
01:03You know?
01:03I've been with my husband for 10 years, and he loves my hair natural, but when we first
01:08started dating, I was relaxed.
01:10And when I went natural, he loved it.
01:12And all my girlfriends that are natural, they have no problem finding men and boyfriends
01:17that are dating, they're married, but just like you ladies said, it's a different type
01:21of guy that's approaching them.
01:23And the names, the language that they get, like, ooh, Nubian princess, my queen.
01:28I mean, like, they get those beautiful names instead of a short end.
01:31So you're like, okay.
01:33So you know, it makes you feel like you're earthy or something.
01:35I don't know.
01:36Well, you know, men are always trying to come up with techniques to get at it.
01:39Uh-huh.
01:39But I don't know.
01:40I don't, I've always wore my hair pretty much the same, so I see a difference in when I
01:45gain or lose weight, depending on what kind of...
01:47Something else.
01:48It depends on what's going on down in this area.
01:50It depends on what type of man approaches me.
01:53But I had my husband before he passed away, God rest his soul, he said I look cleaner with
01:58my hair straight.
01:58Cleaner.
01:59Cleaner.
01:59Okay.
02:00Because my hair, my natural curl is kind of frizzy curl, like wet look.
02:04And I don't know, I guess in his eyes I looked more like a, I don't know, dirty girl.
02:09Oh, okay.
02:10But he liked my hair straight, but I like my hair curly.
02:12I don't know what this is.
02:14This is somewhere in between, I guess.
02:16It's okay.
02:16And Gauthier, what are your thoughts?
02:18I guess it.
02:19It affects my current relationship, but you know, just in walking down the street, different
02:23hairstyles, length, color, it does, you know, change the type of people that, you know, do
02:29talk to me.
02:29And Gauthier, yes or no, would you change your hair for your dream job?
02:32Absolutely not.
02:33Ursula?
02:34Hmm.
02:35Dream job.
02:36Dream job.
02:37Would I change my hair for my dream job?
02:40Maybe.
02:41Maybe.
02:41Maybe.
02:42Janelle, I'll play the game.
02:43No.
02:43If I can't be me, it's not for me.
02:45I'm an actress, so that's an easy yes.
02:47Mm-hmm.
02:48And I change my hair all the time, so it's like, I could be, I could be who you want.
02:51What you mean?
02:51Gauthier, I see you thinking over there.
02:54No, because I like to, you know, I like who I am, and that's the thing that I like about
02:59being self-employed.
03:00I get to, you know, do what I want to do, and I don't have to go in some place because
03:04that's who you want me to be.
03:06You know, I enjoy being me and making my own decisions.
03:08I like to, you know, I like to, you know, I like to, you know, I like to, you know, I like
