In fact, Tea Cake says, “It’s mine too. Ah ain’t been sleepin’ so good for more’n uh week cause Ah been wishin’ so bad tuh git mah hands in yo’ hair. It’s so pretty,” (Hurston 103). Although Janie did not really enjoy Tea Cake wanting to comb her hair, that gesture made her feel like she was free. She no longer was going to have to put her hair back to hide it from anybody, because Tea Cake loved it so much that he wanted to see it all the time. I feel like Tea Cake gets jealous when he overhears Janie’s talk with Mrs. Turner, however unlike Joe, he does not make her hide her beauty by making her put her hair back. Although he does abuse her, I think he trusts that Janie would not leave
