    Default Natural Hair

    Do you all still think it's sexy for a woman to dance with natural hair? I just cut my hair really short today and I love wearing it curly!! But I knw a lot of men think long hair is sexy. Do you all still think I'll do ok in an audition even tho my hair is short?

    Generally speaking... I normally do longer hair for auditions... then whatever I want for my hair once I actually work there.
    But there are plenty of places you can get hired with short hair.

    My hair is shoulder length and everyone here told me that with my body figure (I'm very curvy naturally) that I should curl my hair instead of straighten it. I started curling it and even though it was even shorter because of the curls, I noticed my income increased dramatically because of it.

    i don't dye mine anymore, i keep my natural color. i have enormous big curly 80's hair naturally but typically for work i straighten it. it's just easier cause i can brush it as needed when its straight. just do what feels sexy to you.

    I've wondered about this too. I have slightly longer than shoulder length, bone-straight hair. Like, I got it permed once as a kid and the curls fell out in less than an hour.

    Let us know how your audition goes!

    I make wayyyy more money when I wear my extensions. My natural hair is just a few inches short of my shoulders when straightened but I have to get it cut tomorrow. My extensions cover my boobs. I flick it around and guys tell me they love it all the time.

    I just took my mega long 24" extensions out and am going in today. Am curious to see how it affects my money... I was always an avid promoter of long hair for work , because the majority of guys really do prefer it, but we'll see. I think if you're a good sales person it really shouldn't matter that much. But again, it has to do with confidence, too.

    True! I love my hair short!!! But I think whenever I start working I might wear lace fronts.

    So I had a really bad night. But I don't think it was necessarily the hair. I'm still gonna wear clip-ins for tonight...

    Doesn't make a difference for me Long or short... I even did well with a GI jane cut! You just have to act confident, I think.

    I'm African American , and have natural 4a type hair,( anyone into hair types). I have only worn my hair straight once, and I didn't make that much money, all the black girls at my club either wear wigs, extensions or straight hair. I'm the only one with a curly fro and i have been doing great, but it may also contribute to me learning how to hustle as well. I get so many guys telling me that they looovee my hiar, and its so soft, and how they wish more of the black girls would wear there hair natural. I do wear perfect make up , and i think that helps my hair stand out!

    I remember whenever I was getting a trim I would let my boss know. And he always was adament on it, do NOT cut it short. I had the longest hair in the club and you can bet I made really good money from that too. Its a combination of things and not everyone looks great with short hair and not everyone looks great with long hair. Whatever honestly looks the absolute best on you is what you should always aim for.

    depends on your face and shape of the head. short hair can be sexy too if you style it nice and big - just dont be plain jane about it and have it short and just straight up n down and boring.

    ^I do this exactly. My real hair is a bit past my shoulders. But I ALWAYS wear extensions, they just cover the nipples so I hide my boobs and when I do show guys love the peek.

    When I first started working, I didnt do extensions or anything. Now I have around 18" extensions that matches me perfectly.. before I had 24" exteneions and that was too long for my frame.. so long hair isnt always good... my income did NOT change. I just feel I can hide more with extensions such as my boobs on stage, or my face, or just use my "hair" on the guy while in VIP.. such things.

    op- i've seen some black girls do great with natural, short hair. plenty of guys love that. however, not all management out there is cool with it, because there's a lot of dumbasses managing strip clubs.

    i've got crazy long hair, have often had the longest hair in a club, or at least the longest hair that isn't all ratty and gross. lol. got a lot of comments and probably helped me with stage tips, especially since i'm a lazy stage performer. hasn't ever helped me with dances. most of the bigger spenders i've gotten didn't see my hair down until we were in back. at my old club, i always did better working the floor with my hair up. that's how i wear it irl, though, so maybe i just seemed more comfortable or something. i dunno.

    point is, different guys like different things. and no matter how much many like to LOOK at long hair, it's what they spend money on that really counts. so if you've got short hair, try working with short hair before wasting time and money on wigs or extensions or whatever.
    -love everyone but keep them far from your soul-

    I think if you have the confidence to pull it off you'll be fine! When I first started dancing I had short locs and the guys were into it! I even cammed with my locs a few times and the guys loved it

    There was this black girl in my algebra class last semester who had the cutest thing going on. She dressed nicely and had a 3 or 4 inch natural hair thing gong on. She would always make funny remarks in class and stood out. One day she came in with a long weave in little braids down to her waist. She still looked nice but she looked generic compared to before. A week or two later she took them out and was back to natural. It just suited her so much better.

    Natural is sexy and it will help you stand out. I say go natural but keep your attire polished. Just be ready for the occasional white customer who wants to touch your hair.

    I have a co-worker that keeps her hair cut short and its very becoming on her. I only saw her with long hair once and it looked good. She doesn't have a problem getting hired with short hair. She has a pretty face. However, she does like to wear her's straight. Guys do like curly hair. I still say its all about your face, not your hair. If you're hot, you'll get hired. If your body matches your face, that increases the chances of getting hired. Go with the hair style that looks best on you. Once you're hired, do what you want with it.

    O wow thank you for telling me. I'm not dancing anymore (I found out it wasn't for me), but I still wear my hair in a curly fro. I have 3c hair and I recently dyed it a bronze color and love it and it's growing like crazy! You have given me confidence to keep wearing it instead of the lace wigs I usually wear. Thank you!!!! Also what products do you use to moisturize it? I currently use Kinky Curly to style it, and Miss Jessie's deep conditioner, but I don't like it. I'm thinking about just using Cholesterol and Aloe Vera Gel (I hear it works really well). Also I'm thinking about either wearing it in two strand twist or get some more senaglese twist.

    Well this isn't really the place for those questions. that would go to body buisiness, i think. but either way here are a few forums with TONS UPON TONS of info! I'm natural and shoulder length and although im not fond of leaving my precious hair out in the smoke and nastiness of the air we breathe in the club, when i left it out the first time i felt different but it DID NOT affect my money! I think one puertoriqueno made a nasty face at me and i had some feeling but i made money anyway and he didn't have the pleasure of my company....pps white guys black guys latino guys will all want to touch it. if it looks healthy. but thats for any type of hair.

    lhcf.com Lots of relaxed heads but lots of nattys too.
