I know many people don't think they're offending others, but this website reaches around the world. So someone is bound to eventually be offended. When I read someone say that most of the time when they see QWs they see different colors, it really is offensive. A lot of women wear them, but you may not be able to tell because of the versatality of the style. If someone started a thread that says sew-ins (b/c they're fake) are so ghetto. We would have a riot in here.

I am in total agreement! Peppers I was just in your fotki the other day looking at your QW's and they look amazing. I've seen some threads around here that were about to cross the line on wearing "fake" hair. I love me some fake hair until I can grow me some real hair! LOL.

Hey, I could care less what they do to their heads but I know what looks good on me! Hell, I just wore a QW like last week and I loved it.:yep:

Disclaimer---My QW didn't look like the youtube video that was posted. :rolleyes:

I dunno... I'll rock a quick weave in a second! I have plenty of hair and I want plenty more so I'm all over wearing protective styles that involve wigs, sew ins, quick weaves and more. But a poorly done weave is a poorly done weave. I certainly don't mean to offend but we would not say that damaged hair was healthy, either. So we have to be truthful about things, even if they aren't particularly flattering. Not saying we should be vicious, either.

ETA... I am not speaking of anyone in this board. I am referring to the cheaters video that was posted.
 
Sorry, I'ma have to agree. I moved here two years ago from LA, and I've noticed that -more often than not- Dallas women have got some super fabulous tracks just sittin out there for all to see.

Dont even get me started on some of the colors I've seen rollin in a crown vic down the 30. LIME GREEN?? with the track showing too? :nono:
 
Peppers, I think the OP is talking about bad looking Quick Weaves, not just QWs in general.

Although, I've never seen what she is referring to, the idea of tracks showing galore (be it quick weave, full sew-in, ill-placed lace fronts) is not a good look overall, regardless of where you are from. I think people definitely have the right to comment on what they see, and if in a particular city, there is a plethora of a specific hairstyle that repeatedly seems out of the norm - well...nothing wrong with talking about it.
 
^^^ thank you. I am not talking about all QW just the one I posted. If yours don't look like that then I am not talking about you. If you look at the you tube I posted I think you'd understand. Not only the one I posted but I've seen it not braided and just worn straight. I have no problems with weaves please believe that. I can't wait to get my hair braided this transtion is a MUTHA but I am just saying a bad weave is a bad weave. I just thought it was something we could discuss lightly. Since I've only seen weaves like this in TX that is what I was talking about TX. I honestly didn't understand and still kinda don't what the fascination with the style is. I don't see what would make someone slap tracks on their forehead and walk out the house like it's cute. JMO. Once again I am not trying to offend. I love Texas. Texas boys are the ISH so far. Like I said my dad was born and raised here which is how we all ended up back here. I just came to visit from time to time when I was younger so I'm not familiar with the culture thus is the reason I asked.

I like other things about TX the super chocloate boys with their country accents. The big ol skool cars with the huge rims. The southern feel and how everyone speaks. People don't tend to speak in MD but on the east coast that's just how it is IMO. The list could go on. I love TX I'm just saying them weaves(the ones i described NOT ALL WEAVES)..OH NO!

Smarty Pants- I saw that video but it didn't do justice to what I was talking about. The video I posted is what I am talking about. The weave glued to the forehead. Just how do cornrows sprout from your forehead?

What scares me is all the comments about how great that mess looks and the suggestions that they are going to make an appointment or asking for instructions on how to duplicate....

ah yes...That is a quick weave gone wrong. I live in DFW and see it all the time. I've rocked a quick weave more than once but they didn't look like that.

I saw a girl with a pink plastic looking one on Maury (yes I do watch occassionally), looking for her baby daddy. It was horrible, that is not a cute or flattering style. :nono: Some of these people look like circus clowns!

Some of those women would look a lot better with healthy ear or neck length hair than they do walking around looking like they escaped from the carnival sideshow! It's not the sew-ins that are a problem. It's the multiple colors (including platinum blonde on dark skinned women), glued-on hair, and freak show styles that are the problem. Do you think any of those women would ever be hired to work in anything other than low-end retail or low-end service occupations looking a hot ghetto mess?

Yeah I realized exactly what she meant, that's why I quoted in my post who I was talking to. I see what look to be atrocious hair online and in person. But I guess I can't expect people to have the same motto as me: If you don't have nothing nice to say, then don't say nothing at all. I don't know but maybe a couple of other poeple on here that actually do QWs. But I haven't seen any other threads where someone actually showed their work. So when I read someone say "There's someone on here that do them and they're not cute". Yes, it is a bit offensive. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but hey I'm entitled to rebuttle also.

Hmmm...so what did the SL comment have to do with this? I'll say this and be done with the matter. Let people do them and you do you. If that's what they want, if they want to work in low-end retail, and if they want to look a hot ghetto mess, that's them.
 
The only problem I have with quick weave in general is that fact that some of the tracks are visible along the hair line and the name...Quick weave......Nothing should be quick about a weave...........

I'm from Dallas....born and raised.
With that said, I've seen some that were actually cute(saw it yesterday). I've seen some terrible sew-in jobs, I've seen terrible braids, terrible wigs, terrible hair in general, etc...
Not all were located in one single spot of the United States.

I've seen a lot of bad weaves in Houston too, but I've also seen a lot of nice, undetectable weaves too. I think some look awful because a lot of ladies do them at home with inexpensive hair or keep them for "longer than recommended" periods of time. I wore different sew-ins for about six months in 2007, and they always looked nice because I didn't buy the cheapest hair or leave them in for longer than 8 weeks.

I think you described it the best way: "a quick weave gone wrong" because not all quick weaves look bad. I still think a lot of it has to do with the hair quality, the total length of time that you wear it and who does it for you. I'm originally from Dallas, currently in Houston and I've lived all over and I've seen good and bad weaves everwhere. I guess its personal preference.

The same could be said about your shoulder length comment.

That and the "that looks so real" comments. lol I always have to look back to make sure I'm not crazy. I'm terrible at spotting weaves but some of these are REACHING too far. :lol:
 
This is a hairboard so please let's talk about hair and not our OWN people. Just as we may be observing a certain type of hairstyle that SUPPOSEDLY exists in only one state out of the entire U.S. let's be cognizant of the fact that making generalizations about people is what will forever keep us behind as a people. Watch what we are doing to ourselves...

You know what, you're absolutely right. And I apologize to that member for that comment. Honestly, when I logged on last night I had just left happy hour and was drunk off of saki and sushi. That comment really did offend me, and that was my natural reaction. What I should've said was: I do QWs and have posted a couple to the site. And although you're entitled to your opinion, I have to respectfully disagree.
 
In closing....LOL

For those that do not understand why people do the things that they do to their hair....hey, it's not for you to understand all the time. What looks great to you, looks terrible to others.

I'm reminded of a thread where everyone asked, why grow long hair and wear PS (protective styles) all the time.

One member simply stated, "It ain't for you to understand..." (paraphrasing...I think it was Kinkakes (sp) I could be wrong)

WHen I read that comment I was like, "You know what? You're RIGHT!" LOL!!! WE can sit here and have threads for days on why people do the things they do in general. I don't think we'd ever get anywhere. The human mind...so complex. Good night...
 
Ok..I live in Dallas, and am born and raised in Texas! I have for so long wondered about this style. It really wouldn't be so bad, if they wore a headband or scarf to cover the track...but it is actually a track that is turned backwards, so that it falls away from the face instead of in the face. They are incredibly shiny, and usually worn in a ponytail or half up half down. It is not something that I personally would wear, but again to each his/her own. I will say I haven't seen the style anywhere else in Texas...it may be some Dallas flavor!

I totally understand where you're coming from. And that is very big of you to apologize. Much love! :yep:
