Loading ...Weave or No Weave
Hello fashion 411 here
I hope everyone enjoyed their summer...well I know I did. Anyways, I was doing my daily blog browsing as I always do; stalking celebrities and looking at their clothes, hair and makeup….who they are kissing and what not. Then I read about a National Real Hair Day and immediately became in awe about such holiday dedicated to real hair. Especially in these tough times with the ongoing health crisis, wars, and starvation…National real hair just sounded plain ridiculous.
So I begun to ponder about this and I thought to myself I wonder how many women even men sef (see Bret Michael), are willing to give up their weaves, wigs or braids? Because I sure know I am not brave enough to do it. While watching the Tyra Banks show this season, I was shocked to see her rocking her real hair which looked way better than the road kill she wore seasons before. Then I saw solange (aka beyonce’s handbag) rocking her bald head. More celebs like, Gabby Union, Ashanti, Mary J Blige, and Oprah, rocking their real hair too. While others like me spend so much money on all kinds of weaves, yaki, silky yaki, remi, outre, Indian Brazilian even African sef in this recession.... I see celebs like beyonce spending 60 thousand dollars on weaves. Lil Kim, Trina, Ciara, Keri Hilson and her 27 pieces…. even oyimbo babes like the Kardashians and Brittany Spears spend thousands on weaves.

Then I remembered India Arie’s old hit “I am not my hair”. The case is not so for us “weavaholics”. I realized that from January, till date I’ve rocked my real hair for less than 2 weeks and I hated it and felt like I was empty, while with my 2 pack of 16 inch indian hair I felt sexier and ready. I literally became Sasha fierce, sexy and all. I also went through my facebook friend list and noticed that about 98 % of my female friends had weaves or wigs or braids on their profile picture. I still haven't seen some of my aunties' real hair because all they put on are wigs or weaves. With that being said, I came to the following conclusion...weaves are addictive and they have become my addiction or should I say “our addiction”.
Before & After
To make matters worse there is always some new weave or technique that comes out everyday. It went from cap wigs, sew-in to, glue/bonding, infusion, to lace wigs to seamless lace wigs. As a self professed weavaholic, it's extremely hard for me to give it up… so it begs the question, how many women can really do without their weaves? As for the fellas do you guys really care or prefer if a woman wears her real hair even at 2 inches or some weave piece on? And for my real hair sisters, what pointers can you give a weavaholic like me ? HELP!!!!!

"As for the fellas do you guys really care or prefer if a woman wears her real hair even at 2 inches or some weave piece on?"
I think it's gross, wearing someone's hair from India. Blech. You know hair is just dead cells that your body pushes out, right? You've got someone's dead cells adorning your head. If I was with a girl and found out she was wearing a weave, I'd definitely be turned off. Just be natural and be proud of who you are. Men don't (usually) do anything weird to change their appearance; why should women?
hey um honestly I don't believe that you have to have long hair to wear your real hair, as long as it looks nice than you shoul be okay...however if you want to grow your hair out then I'm going to tell you what I do, to grow and keep your hair long. K...before you start washing your hair comb out your hair first just to get out all tangles, then use hot water to keep your hair lubricated when you wash it {if you use cold water your hair is more prone to breakage} wash your hair with selsun blue {if u get dandruff} olive oil shampoo, garnier fructis, OR optimum {any of those will work fine, but what I do is use two of them at a time for example i might use olive oil and then optimum you get the picture} repeat...after you're done washing your hair, you condition, leave the conditioner in for 10 minuets, rinse then dry your hair comb through it with a WIDE TOOTHED COMB...apply some pomade then comb through your hair agian to make sure it is evenly distributed...***if you want really soft hair take a hot damp towel and wrap it over your hair and let it sit for about 10-15 minuets*** now you can blow dry your hair or roll it or whatever you like...also remember to not use alot of heat on your hair ther you go hope Ive helped =}
Y'all need to watch " Good Hair" by Chris Rock. It details how they get the sacrifice hair from india, how hair is worse than crack and how some women will rather do their hair than pay their rent. It's a scary business. The sociey has really shaped our view. I dunno mehn... i think i need to invest in this 9 billion dollar hair industry.

I wish I didn't have to wear weave. I have very thin hair and now do to some bad weaves and to tight braids, I have a bald spot on the top of my head. The hair won't grow back. I can't go into a salon and do a weave is what I have to do. Wish there was another way to go.
That was the same thing that happened to me after many years of wearing weaves. It is possible for ur hair to grow back. You might have to go to a dermatologist and treat it. If you keep getting tight weaves around that area it will get worse...
Thanks very much, we think alike. I did make an appoinment to see a doctor in a few weeks.
Thanks again!!
