People with naturally straight hair will never be able to appreciate how much work is required to keep kinky-curly Sub-Saharan African-type hair soft, neat and detangled in an unplaited or unstraightened state.
And short-cropped or close-shaven hair is easier to maintain than a voluminous, fluffy, curly mane (a la Chaka Khan).
(Wash, towel dry, brush and go hair it is not.)
Straight hair is much easier to manage than kinky or curly hair. (Ask any woman with a tight curl hair texture.)
