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

im just havin fun outchea ma

Oh I know. How are you from the DMV acting like this? There are so many natural black women in this area.

but the thing is that u havent really refuted anything. Here is the gist of the issues that BM have with the issue of weave:

1) We believe that Black women look better wearing their natural hair
2) when BW wear weave they are wearing the texture and sometimes color of (asians, whites and indians) that is a fact that cant be refuted
3) Other races dont go out and buy hair that looks like "black hair" and put it on their heads
4) There is some degree of self hate and shame in many (not all) BW who wear weave. They believe that they look ugly and or unnatractive without weave
5) Many chicks claim that weaves "protect your hair" well why not go out and get wigs or weave that look like "black hair" to protect your hair?

Im not bashing BW, Im not name callin or being disrespectful. im clearly stating facts

A few issues

1) What exactly do you mean by natural hair?There's a ton of things a girl could do to her hair outside a weave and it becomes messy when you start trying to draw lines between what's natural and what isn't.

2) Think practically. Black people are the only people on the planet with hair this kinky. There's nowhere to go from here but straighter.

3) I'm pretty sure if white people started walking around wearing afro wigs you'd consider it racist but by that same dint we don't hesitate to laugh when white people attempt to sport cornrows or dreads.

4) Is there a degree of self hatred and shame in the historical conception of black peoples self image? yes but when you reduce everything to this and fail to take into account other powerful social drivers you end up with threads like this.

5) The premise of this thread was faulty to begin with. This is aesthetics and beauty; subject to whim, taste, preference, precedent, convenience etc.. A woman does not need a good reason to wear a weave any more than a man needs a good reason to spend hours brushing his hair to get waves.

all of the above are weaves, yall simply wouldn't know. Google image kinky curly weave. Women wear them all the time.

i'd know this was a weave and most of the women i see with them skunk hats don't wear afro textured extensions. you know damn well the majority of these women want that Brazilian/Malaysian wave

That's why it kills me when yall say they are trying to look white. If anything, they want to look Brazilian or Malaysian.

Didn't read this thread but all the nikkas in here discussing or having conversations about weaves are fakkits

 

[Jone2three45]

I'm all for the natural hair route if that means that our future black daughters will not grow to look like this,

look, we can play dumb ass games but it isn't brazilians or malaysians being plastered up as the beauty standard that has black girls/women so fukking nutty. if it were cacs selling their hair instead of y'all basically taking advantage of religious beliefs and poverty in other countries, y'all would be buying hair from white women directly.

then again, i agree white hair isn't ideal. majority of black women would prefer to have indian, brazilian, malaysian textured hair over cacs,

@SouthernBelle I thought you weren't going to "waste your time" arguing with the men on this board anymore. And here you are embroiled in a battle royale about weave.

I'm sorry but black women find brazilians and ethnic women just as attractive as black men find them. While the world's standard of beauty is a blonde haired, blue eye'd white woman, I think black people (including black women) look more toward the exotic/other as the standard of beauty (so if anything they are chasing the exotic/other look not trying to look like your typical white woman). I'm almost certain that they sell russian hair and no one really wants that shyt so I'm happy we can agree on the last point.

like i said, if them brazilians weren't selling their hair and the only alternative was white womens hair -- Y'ALL WOULD STILL PURCHASE IT.
