You Bet Not Put That In The Trash! Stuff Black Folks Do Not Throw Away — Ever

Weave
If you can cut off the scraggly ends and make a bob out of it at some point, that 18-inch yaki ain’t going nowhere. I know a lot of weave is intended to be reused, but from the raggedy mess of faux hair I’ve seen collected in drawers and shoe boxes, no less, around the blackosphere, it’s clear you don’t ever let go of a good weave — even if it isn’t good no more. I’m not sure if the intention behind keeping the hair is like a time capsule so you can pull out that auburn wet and wavy one day like, “ooh girl remember when I wore this for New Year’s Eve back in 2008? I was killing it!” but some of ya’ll know that mess needs to be thrown out.
What other stuff do you notice black people refuse to throw away?
