I'm definitely not trying to knock black women but outside of the hair boards I rarely meet bw who care about actual hair care. They're usually more concerned with how their hair looks.
I had a weave installed in my head in 08 and it was so tight I cried all night and took it out that morning. $200 down the drain and my head was still sore for a week. When I told my weavalicious friend what happened she looked at me like I was crazy. She was like beauty is pain
.
When people ask me how I get my hair so soft and healthy and I tell them about my products and techniques they tell me I'm doing too much. And if I mention the hair boards they tell me I'm obsessed.
Then with the myths and notions out there that weaves and braids actually grow your hair its damn near impossible to convince a bw that they are actually damaging their hair. Only on the hair boards do I even see women who wash and condition their hair while in weaves and braids.
I think its a shame when a woman doesn't feel like she's beautiful without her weave or extensions. Sadly I'm starting to see more little girls (as young as 2) getting extensions
. I guess the cycle continues.
