How important is your hair to you?

Very!

When and why did you start locing?

1991 in Paris while touring.  I had a live performance on Paris TV, and thought this would be a great time to start. I’m from the North Bronx, and I discovered an African Hair Care Salon in Paris owned by a Brother from Mount Vernon.  Mount Vernon folks are neighbors to the North Bronx.  I called his shop and made an appointment to start locing.  Why- I was touring Internationally at that time in my life for months/years at a time.  Previous to locs I was wearing my hair in a uptown Fade.  I couldn’t keep the Fade in proper form while touring so often.  The only place I could arrange hair cuts were at Military Bases, via the African Americans on Base.  This was taking a toll on my time/interest in new Countries and Cities, so I decided to loc my hair.

Have you ever been stereotyped?

Off course !

How important is a woman’s hair to you?

Very!

Do you prefer relaxed, weave or natural hair?

Natural

Are you single/married/dating? If you’re dating or married is she natural?

Involved with a Natural Hair Woman.

What is more important in a woman: that her hair looks good, smells good or feels good?

All 3 are very important…however I will settle for clean.

Do you think you should see a woman’s real hair before marrying her?

No, assuming you love someone enough  for Marriage, hair shouldn’t matter. 

Now what is really the most important thing for you look for in a woman (besides beautiful hair of course)?

Intelligence….Academic/Mental stimulation is compulsory for interest.
