    Look at this sh_t right here. Teaching women to take care of ANOTHER woman’s hair. Here we go AGAIN! I just can’t w/ black women. I just can’t. I’m not. Better yet I won’t. Show these imposters how to take care of their OWN hair. Don’t give me that “versatility” sh_t. Well be versatile with your OWN hair. I would respect you more if you just be honest & say “I hate  my hair & I feel Indian hair is better”. JUST SAY IT!

      Not everybody who wears a weave hates their hair. I’m so sick of this ignorant crap.

      How a woman wears her hair is a form of self-expression, not a reflection of her self esteem. When I wear a weave, it’s not because I am ashamed of my natural hair, because I certainly am not. Weave allows women to have different styles that they might not be able create with their own hair and women have every right to change their hairstyle if the option is available to them. It has nothing to do with self esteem or “honesty”.
