Do This If You Want More Black Women to Wear their Real Hair

[LA Fisher]

every women should have options but when its a cultural thing that is passed down from mother to daughter and thats all the lil girls ever knew, its a problem

But why is it a problem? Does it really hurt anyone?

 

[Ohene]

nah.

they'll never stop wearing weave the problem is bigger than you think.

Weave is basically a woman's confidence and damn near a sign of faux-wealth/status. Take away weave and all these hoes are on the same level.
I know ya'll nikkas have seen the difference weave makes. A girl can go from being humble...timid even to thinking her shyt don't stink. I see through it all.

Glad my wife don't wear a weave. She wears it curly and she got a lot of hair. I don't realize how long it is until she straightens it

Oh, and she Black too

Weaves are

Maybe that's cause her hair is curly.

You want me to read a book about hair?

 

[HoloGraphic]

My larger point is that we (black people) must be encouraging and compassionate toward one another--not fault-finding and critical. I know how difficult that can be at first, but it's ultimately the best way to build up our communities.

Agreed. I don't see what the big deal is in the first place. If your gunna complain about a woman's hair, you best be putting in the work to fix it too.

If you go on the LongHairCareForum, there are plenty of beautiful sisters with long natural, relaxed, texlaxed hair.
My sister has an account there. Btw, my sister thinks that The Science of Black Hair is an excellent book.

Another problem is that many black women don't know how to care for their natural hair. In many respects, our hair is different (in a good way) from that of other races.

Yet, there's so little reliable information about our hair. The Science of Black Hair is loaded with information, and the author has nice hair herself. She used to have long relaxed hair, but she now wears it natural.

Anyways, I realize that there are YouTube tutorials and forums about black hair, but it definitely helps to have most of the information in one place. I believe that's what the book does.

Some black women just want a different type of look. There are other types of women who wear hair extensions too. At the end of the day I don't see why it matters. People aren't going out wearing full wigs. You guys will nitpick at anything.

Be ashamed of being a black woman and try to look white through the weave medium brehs :mjkkk:

It matters because there are plenty who want to wear their real hair--but don't how to care for it.

Caring for hair is a lot more complicated than you think. I know this from talking to/watching my sister.

I feel op but i think it's too late. Once there is no incentive to doing something, a person or a group will not waiver off the current course. Just like how you see more white women working out. Black women CAN be out of shape and wear silly weaves and still get mostly what they want from us. I think it speaks volumes about the level of respect collectively that they have for black men. Imo, white women take care of their bodies bc they want to be desireable and live a healthy lifestyle. Black women want to have this as well but at the end of the day are like "whats the use"..

If dudes want weave to be gone there actually gonna have to do something offline.
Refuse to date or fukk weave wearers, tell them to their face how much it looks stupid, etc.
if their getting 0 play and see natural chicks get all the male attention then they're most likely gonna stop.
But of course these guys just wanna make youtube videos and comments complaining about it.
And stay quiet as fukk in the outside world. Which shows me they don't really care. they just want to bytch.

If any of you are interested, here is a link to the book. You can preview it on Google Books:

And, here's the author:

She's black, but she's wearing an Indian dress in the photo above.

That's one thing I respect about the white race. White men are like " you want me to make a certain amount a year to be with you, you gotta be in shape and look good" and white women, for the most part, comply. Same way the women go "you want me to stay in shape and look good, you gotta make a certain amount a year to be with me" and white men, for the most part, comply.

But when you get to the black race it's totally different. Black women act like successful black men shouldn't have standards on how he wants his woman to look and get offended. Black men act like beautiful, in shape black women also can't have demands of wanting a man who makes a certain amount. It's like the black race is against a certain "give and take" rule.
