The fact remains, women have no good reason to wear weaves.

Black men want to attack black women for weaves how about creating black spaces where black beauty is celebrated ? Ya'll rather bytch than build or what?

How can we celebrate "black beauty" when yall hide it under Indian weave?
And we are trying to build on the fact that we want black women to appreciate black beauty like we do, but yall keep promoting weaves which create an unrealistic ideal for our young black girls and perpetuates the negative stereotypes of black hair.

There is nothing wrong with saying you'd like seeing black women with their natural hair. The problem with this thread is it is being stated as a fact, that if a woman is wearing a weave its because of some type of self hate. Do you really believe that to be true?

Yes, after reading this thread it isn't even conscious. It is sub conscious, yall don't even realise wearing hair that doesn't look like your own on top of your own hair isn't a style. Do we have to take it back to slavery so you'll understand?



It's staring you right in the face. This isn't a "black women ain't shyt" rant that alot of you women like to do to us. There's thread celebrating natural hair, this thread happens not to be one of them.

Who is "promoting" weave like it is some beacon of hope? Read through this thread again tell me ya'll are trying to build.

That's what i'm saying. These men in here are tripping. Glad i don't have any post in here besides this one

That is true.

I will never accept the argument that majority of black women are wearing weaves for reasons other than self hate.
The ones that have hair/health issues are in a minority.

one observation I have also made..........................The darker the skin tone, the longer her hair-hat.

Um fukk the both of you. My post was not directed at either one of you. One of you is **** and the other is some ole fake ass IT certs having sambo.

I'm not about to read through 500+ posts, but tell me...Why do you, personally, wear weave? What do you get out of it? Dont try to say "protective styles" or "cuz i like it" cuz thats bs. Deep down inside, what makes you want to cover your own hair with someone elses?

A few pages back, I highlighted the reasons that I wore weave twice this year (a three day period and a four day period both while traveling):

I've been natural for going on 8 years. I have very long hair when it's straight and a huge afro when it's not. So for someone like you or the other guys to tell me that I hate myself because I put on my kinky OR straight half-wig (when it's extra cold and dry outside or when I want to wear a particular style for one or two days with manipulating my hair that much) is stupid. You expect someone to give you a hug when they are blatantly calling you a liar (someone who has no reason to lie because they wear their natural hair 95% of the year).

For instance, I wore a straight half wig in July for a trip to Miami to celebrate someone's bday because wearing straight natural hair in Miami would have been a disaster with humidity and I also didn't feel like manipulating my hair everyday.

In August, I had to travel to NY for a conference for four days. I had put my hair in two strand twist and I didn't think they looked professional (Right before the conference, I did a hard protein treatment and didn't realize it would make my twists look horrible) so I put on my kinky hair wig (that looks exactly like my hair) and wore that the entire time.

Are you seriously going to tell me that wearing a half wig (one that looked exactly like my real hair) for 7 out of 365 days means that deep down I hate my hair? Do you see how stupid that logic is? So I wore my real hair all those other days, but those 7 days while traveling dictate how I really feel about my hair. Or two weeks last year when it was snowy and dry outside and I didn't want to wear my hair out means that I'm lying to you and myself about why I do it?

How are you going to tell me I don't wear a weave as a protective style? Seriously. That is not BS. How do you think I made my way to mid black length natural hair...by wearing protective styles that included BUNS, TWISTS, BRAID, and HALF WIGS. So are those other protectives styles bullshyt or just the weave ones? I'm just really curious.

for the record. NOT ALL BW WHO WEAR WEAVE HAVE SELF HATE ISSUES. But some do. I know and have seen BW that always wear weave and they will never be seen without a weave. do u not see that as an issue or problem? i have actually told BW to their faces that they would look better without weave and i kid u not, they have met me with anger, confusion and almost rage that i would even suggest that they NOT wear weave.

Question: if u walked outside now and you saw hundreds upon thousands of black men that looked like this

wouldnt u be like

Who are you trying to fool with the hairhat?

Why are you in this thread? You can offer nothing worth reading so go back to your smoking PAWG thread.

Yeah, bruh...in the western world we have a European standard of beauty that has been force fed into our collective consciousness for centuries, not an african standard. You aint really sayin sht. If nikkas really wanted to take a stand, we would stop dating women with weaves, idealizing and celebrating natural hair and an african inspired aesthetic. If we do that, our women would definitely follow suit.

Btw, you talkin all this white women dont try to look black sht.....mind explaining tanning salons and the butt injections wave?

To be fair, tanning has always been popular among all races.

Big booty hasn't been popular until the Kardashians did it.

Big lips weren't popular until Angelina Jolie and ScarJo came on the scene.

Twerking didn't become popular/acceptable until Miley did it.

Everything except for the last is sad and insulting but it is the unfortunate truth of Amerikkka.

I'm still dying that y'all are acting like this is purely a Black female caused and perpetuated hangup. Like literally cracking up.
