Need tips on preventing weave checks...

[lilsparkle825]

Just write it on the back of your name tag. On the front, write your name. On the back, so you can flash people who need the message, write Yes, it's mine.

I literally LOL'd at this!

On another point...what if you WERE wearing a weave? What if she weave checked you and a track slipped out. What then? Is that the purpose of a weave check? I don't understand. I'd just rather ask the person than to tug on someone's hair.

I think that IS the purpose. From what I gathered the few times I have been weave checked, they are looking for some wefts or loose threads, heck, maybe even a texture/color difference to signify that it ain't growin' out your scalp. If a track comes out, bonus points for embarrassing you and exposing your "secret".

Try wearing this shirt

THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY SUGGESTION!! Either that shirt or the one with homegirl kicking dude in the face....haha

I say - you should wear your hair in two lovely pigtails one day to church - if you are daring enough........ so she can see the part and errrrthang!

Your hair is really pretty. Even if it was a weave, who cares! It's still pretty!

When I had long hair, this woman from work came up behind me while I was sitting down and RAN HER FINGERS THRU MY HAIR! I turned around and said "unless we are in bed together don't put your hands in my head!"

I don't suggest you say that in church though.

First of all

Secondly, Start wearing those big church hats!!! It's hard to even get a hug in let alone a weave check with one of these!

Why don't you be indiscreet if you cannot be direct? Mention how you know someone who was weave checked and how offended the person was because of it and also you take that stand as well. Remind her of people manners or lack of it and then ask her doesn't she agree?

Hence you pretend you did not realize she gave you a weave check so she saves face and you do not hurt her feelings directly and your point is made across to her.

Tell her GOD don't like ugly.

Girl, you have arrived! I wish someone would try to weave check me! My hair is to dang short to even get looked at. I usually get the side eye for my frizzy twists.

Don't worry you will get there. Be careful what you wish for it may come back to bite you.

I'm sorry pastor's wife or not, If she was bold enough to weave check me on the sly. I would be bold enough to tell her not to do it again. I wouldn't say it super loud to embarass her, but she would def. get the point.

And I wouldn't care if she told people and it gave me a rep. That basically would solve my problem for any future feel ups. My motto is, all who don't know me. Will know me.

I'm sorry, but I just find it rude and tacky IMO.

as soon as someone embarrasses you by putting their hands in your hair and trying to check you for a weave, they lose the privilege of having you not embarrass them back. i say ask her why she did that and if she says "oh b/c your hair is so long I didn't think it was yours" tell her that she is being rude and why you feel that way. if folks don't learn that black folks can grow some hair, then these misconceptions will continue to persist.

I thought of that too. Very good! You had me beat on that one.

 

[motherpopcorn562]

lol a white lady at this church i visited did that to me also. I just laughed to stop myself from slapping her lololo

There is no way to prevent being weave checked....even people with locs get weaved checked,

then again some people with locs do have weave added

(this is my second thought on this matter after having recalled a personal incident)

i had my cousin weave check me at a family renuion. she ran her fingers all through my scalp like she was trying to give me a massage.

i popped her upside the head and told her she was rude. (in front of her mother and yes my cousin is grown and has three kids.)

(this was family though... not suggesting you pop the pastors wife)
