Natural Hair...Elegant?

As my hair anniversary and birthday approach, I asked myself, "Can natural hair be grown and sexy?"  I mean it's big, it's ecclectic, and it's is definately fierce.  But is it sexy?  Is it exotic? does it lure or captivate your husband, fiance or boyfriend's eye?  I know your thinking, "it's how you carry yourself or your thinking it's the confidence that you exude through the individual."  But can we be real, for real, for real?  Is our hair sexy and if so which hair styles exemplify the look of sophistication, the look of a renasance classic.  Which look screams black tie event or all white party?

I may be coming off or seeming as if I don't believe that our gorgeous, coily, volumized locs can display itself as sophisticated, vibrant young and sexy but that couldn't be further from the truth.  From the tappered fade all the way to the pinned up loc I know that our hair has the amazing ability to lend itself to mandating attention by passer bys to admire every curl tossed all the way to bone straight silence. 

My question is "Are we displaying this side of our natural hair."  Have we been conditioned to think that because we are natural that we have to ALWAY'S display our hair in it's natural state.  I challenge US.  We have accepted our hair for the glory of how it grows, now let's have fun and shut the nay sayer's mouth's.  Let's show them natural IS sexy sophisticated and we wouldn't have any other way.  The next time that affair comes up flaunt your hair not, a wig, a weave or an extension but your hair in whatever form it decides to show it's "Diversity"
