not really, if you straighten your hair, why would you get natural extensions? we don't apply the self-hate label to non-black people with curly hair who straighten it, why must black women e limited to what's considered acceptable? if you have curly/kinky/nappy etc. hair it's versatile, you're free to wear it in multiple states. most women i know who rock weave or extensions, including me when i wear them, it's simply to add length/volume, not to hide or cover up anything about my heritage. (i mainly rock my hair natural, yet appreciate it in every state)
