On another note when did black women wearing weaves that are not their texture symbolizes self hate. I would think the point of wearing weaves is to rock hairstyles that could cause damage to your own hair. A black women constantly straightening hair to for example get the Farrah fawcett flips would cause heat damage. I would say some bw use weaves as a crutch because they find their own hair undesirable or hard to manage.
You are wasting your breath; no one will believe you (although I feel you). I wore my straight half wig this summer for a bday weekend in Miami. I didn't want to deal with my hair everyday and I refused to flatiron for one event/weekend.
Many men also ASSume that black women only wear straight weaves, but many of them just can't tell when a black woman is wearing a kinky weave. Another instance of me wearing a weave/wig was in August when I went to New York for a 4-day conference. I wore my kinky/curly half-wig because I wanted to look nice without having to do my hair everyday/travel with a bunch of tools and products.
To the last bolded part, I agree.
