Hello,
So my boyfriend is a big fan of really long hair. He met me when I wore wigs/ braids and didn’t show my natural hair much so I think he expected it would be like that all the time.
When I first showed him my natural hair, I didn’t think it would be a problem but he said he liked the braids/twists better so instead of leaving my natural hair out, I put it back into twists
About 1 1/2 months ago I took my hair down again and he finally told me he wasn’t really into short hair and it lowered his attraction in me substantially. He really likes my braids so I decided I’d do braids for him instead of leaving my natural hair out.
The issue is, I need to leave my hair out for a bit between these styles because it gives my hair a needed break (like 2 weeks) before I put it back into another style.
I told him I’d be taking the braids out and he was saying: “Noo I really like your long hair” “Please leave it in for me” “Leave it in more”
So of course I want to please him but I also feel like I know my hair needs a break from the style. It also kind of makes me feel ashamed of my short natural hair because he would prefer he never see it and for my hair to always be in a style.
I don’t know what to do without sacrificing his attraction for me but i feel like it’s also creating a feeling of shame about my naturally short hair.
What do I do?
TL;DR My boyfriend doesn’t like my short natural hair and likes it in longer styles but I feel like I have to sacrifice the health of my hair or his attraction to me.
EDIT: I am a black woman to clarify
