Weave talk

Abela · 02-25-2003, 12:26 PM

In all honesty this ain't dissing just honest curiosity.

I understand attachments when u do braids but why do u do weaves? Is it 'cos
- ur hair can't grow long? Which I doubt 'cos I'm a guy and I have long hair
- it's the "in" thing to do?

Why don't you grow it out naturally, relax and comb/brush it.
I believe with time u'll have long natural flowing hair.

Abeg, educate a broda as dis has been bugging me for a while.
I keep thinking to maself: "why cut ur hair if u're only going to weave on it to make it long?"

I reiterate, THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A DISS.

Maybe if u educate us brodas, the yabbis will cease.

Well from what i know abt weave-ons, it just to make us look different, gurls don't just wear long ones, they also wear short ones too, i mean u can't braid all d time & neither can u carry ur hair all d time, so i think gurls do it in general just to look different

1. Fashionable
2. Cost effective
3. With weave you can just "get up and go"
without having to think of what to do with
your hair.

Right.

-Some people dont have time to take care of their hair effectively so they just go to the shop, stay there for a couple of hours, have some weave put on and out da door. Lasts a month or two. Instead of brushing, and perming and flattening and washing and curling and parting, its easier.

-You can get different looks. If you dont wanna color your real hair, you go out and buy a weave with da color you want. Then when you get tired of it, you take it off and use another color. Simple.

-Sometimes you want a short style, sometimes you want a long style, or you want feathered hair or curly or long and bone-strait. Its creativity that you cant really get with ya real hair without it falling out eventually.

-Takes a lot to take care of black hair. Too much stress. I cut that stress outta my life.

regardless of the latest fad or whatever most people say, your self esteem must be at an all time low for u to im-plait weave into your hair.think about it. are the botox and implants and weave permanent facials and artificial nails really necessary.if u are a girl who considers herself to be ugly then maybe so, if u like your girl to lok nice, maybe so and if you want to become white(i had to make reference to mike(

)then i think so

Thats not true. Women sometimes like change. The reason why a woman can have eclectic taste in clothes is the same reason why she can like to change her hair every month.

If I cut my hair military style in Janurary and in March I feel like having long hair, I better get that weave slapped on cos ko si fertilizer that will grow it over night.

We women have moods. Abi is it everyday you wear a leather skirt? Do you look like you wear the same outfit everyday (because all your clothes are the exact same one that you bought a zillion of)?

said it perfectly.........................

how she could equate self esteem with sporting a weave is incredible...................

Abela · 02-27-2003, 12:35 PM

Let's break it down.
OK, weaves are easy to manage, get up n' go……..etc

If we are to be honest, ppl put so much effort into their appearance 'cos they want to feel good about themselves, look good to e'body and ESPECIALLY to appeal to the opposite sex, nes pas?

PLs don't gimme dat bull 'bout doing it for urslef and nobody else.
Why buy designer jeans for £50 when u can get the exact same thing for £10?

That stated.
Why continue doing it if ur intended "audience" (MEN) say they don't care much for it.
I mean, if a number of girls start telling me that my corn-rows are tacky and they don't like it in a man and stuff, best believe I'm shaving it off.
Y'all like it tho

don't ya…..but I digress.
