Why does it seem that women without weave are less ratchet?

Slightly unrelated, but I got this black hair-hatted hooligan........and last night, she came out the bathroom with STRAWS in her hair. I said straws! I was like "joooe, what is that?!" She told me it's "to keep the curls curly. You got anymore smart ass questions?" :huhldup:

More and more, I'm realizing I know nothing about black chicks and they weird shyt they do with their hats. And I can never learn, cuz they get super defensive when you ask questions.

Weaves, Wigs & Lacefronts… Some of You Don’t Know What They Hell You’re Doing
I used to love a good weave and a decent lacefront, believe me when I tell you. I would go out of my way and shop online all day for the perfect hairpiece to free me from having to play in my natural hair every single day. I admit I was being lazy and I wasn’t completely committed to the idea of wearing my natural hair, so far be it from me to judge anyone else. However, there is an epidemic of ratchetness among us, no one is addressing. Women and young girls everywhere choosing to put cheap plastic strands in their hair, wearing ill-fitted wigs and lacefronts in the summer time, and not properly having them applied, it’s all so obvious. Hair professionals everywhere should be pulling these potential clients to the side and recommending some appropriate alternatives to help a sister look good.

I advocate for natural hair now, choosing to wear my TWA (teeny weenie afro) versus subjecting myself to another wig or lacefront, but that’s just me. When I see young girls wearing them, and wearing them wrong, I feel obligated to let them know how dumb they look. You cannot pull it into a ponytail without it being secure on the edges. If it’s nappy on the ends, people do notice. Why anyone would sell you a wig or lacefront is beyond me, but that’s a customer service issue. I just ask that we set a good example for each other. When you have a friend wearing her hairpiece in a way that doesn’t compliment her, why not inform and educate her? Why let the chick walk around looking crazy? If a man notices that your hair game is off, do you really believe that your friends didn’t think so as well? It’s just a matter of wearing what compliments you and not what you think is trendy or hot right now. Believe me lacefronts are no longer trendy. Death to lacefronts!

Sounds like a straw set, which can be done on any type of hair...but you said she had on a hair hat (I love that term to describe a weave LOL)...I didn't know women used straws to maintain the curly weave...learn something new daily.

You should probably start a Coli thread and address your black hair questions there. Coli ladies are pretty open and honest

This is true. I'm not ratchet. I'm actually interested in things other than clothes. I have no kids. I have no drama.......and I have NEVER had a weave or wig before :mj:

:ohhh: and that all has to do with the fact that your hair is natural or is somehow connected to it

Most weave wearers end up divorced or single after the man see's their bald head. This is especially true for black women since most are bald by 40.

The funny thing about that is I didn't get introduced to weave until I attended my top 20 university where most of the black population were Jack and Jillers.
