We got it for you here. It is Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Thank you, nephew. Subject I think he perms his hair.
Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a forty nine year old divorced
woman and I was married to an older man that
went bald early, so I was the only female in
our household who had to worry about hair. I have
two sons that were blessed with a curly hair texture
so that they were not in the barbershop every week.
(00:50):
I've never had to deal with any man's hair issues,
and I'm almost ashamed to write to you guys this letter.
I'm dating a man that is fifty six years old
and he's from Detroit. Not to slam Detroit in any way,
but this brother's picture should be in the dictionary next
to the word soulful. That means we've been together for
(01:10):
a few months and we're at the spend the night
phase because it was pastime for us to start having sex.
The first time we had sex, he told me that
he had to go home immediately after we finished. He
said he didn't have any of his hair products with him,
so he had to go. I know just by looking
(01:30):
at him that his hair texture is not real and
he has some kind of product helping him to get
those curls. The roots don't match the ends, and it
looks like an afro with curly curls on the ends.
When he goes to the barbershop, he's there for long
periods of time. My first cousin just so happens to
go to the same barbershop, and he called me recently
(01:51):
cracking up. He said he's heard that my man is
still getting perms in twenty twenty three. I did not
want to believe it, but it makes sense. I sleep
in a bonnet and so does he. He won't shower
with me because he said I like it too hot
and the steam dries out his hair. Why is he
more concerned about his hair than I am about mine.
(02:12):
I know for a fact that he uses the hair
color that's just for men. But a perm, though, this
is the only thing that puts me on pause about him.
Should I ask if he has a perm? Who cares?
I mean, this is a whole strawberry letter about hair.
First your husband, who you said was older and went
bald early, then your two sons who you said were
(02:35):
blessed with curly hair, and now your man's hair, who
you suspect has a PERM and you're concerned about asking
if he has one. I'm not sure why you won't
just ask him, you know, I'm not sure about that,
or I'm not sure why his hair matters so much
in the first place. I mean, is his hair unattracted?
(02:56):
Is it greasy? Is it dirty? Does it stink? Does
it get on your pillowcases? Or is it simply because
he perms it and you're it's just not natural? Is
that it you'd like it to be natural? I'm not
real clear what your issue is. Because he wears a
bonnet that could be concerning. But how does he treat you?
(03:19):
Do you like him? And I would say the answer
to that one is yes, since you are sleeping with
him already. Hmm. So I just say, if you want
to know about his hair, just ask him. It's simple.
Just ask him about his hair. If he says, yes,
I purn my hair, then what then what are you
going to break up with him because you don't like perms?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I mean you know what, Steve.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
First of all, I knew this letter was going to
be problems because she started off talking about the do
was from Detroit and not to slam Detroit anyway, But
this brother picture should be in a dictionary next to
the word soulful. I mean, I'm saying to be going
and what's the problem. Yeah, you don't understand. I used
(04:09):
to go to Detroit to dress. I went to Detroit
with the full intention of shopping city slickers, broad Wade,
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (04:26):

to me. The automobiles, show girl, GM.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Girl. You wrote the wrong brother with this letter.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I'm so mad about the Detroit statement and the picture
in the digital next to him, next to soulful And
what is the damn problem?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
If your shoes don't match your hat, that's a problem.
Come right, yes, he say, it's a problem if your
parts ain't the same with at the knee and the
leg and the thigh.
Speaker 2 (05:44):

He's from Detroit.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Not to slam Detroit in any way, but the brother's
picture should be an addictionary next to the word soul.
I already have come to the conclusion that I not
only don't like this lady that wrote this letter, I'm
not going to say anything to help you either.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So what are you gonna do? That's how mad?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
