>>12388911Long hair is popular with more than just whites, just that certain racial groups don't support it well. You ever see an African woman with long hair? Long hair that WASN'T a weave, or whatever? There's a reason for that.
Wet, sweaty hair is unpleasant to the touch, and doesn't look good. The negative tactile and ocular response overrides whatever positive smell there might be. For support, see the McGruk effect: senses get overridden by sight all the time, to the point that what you hear can change depending on what you see.
