...so I was reading what went on with one of our LHCF ladies and how the information she offered on this board was misused on another. Bummer situation, because we're all here for support and friendship - it's disheartening to think that what we see as positive on this board can be taken to another place and be used against someone or in a manner that may be hurtful.
That aside, I was wondering - what's with this thing about black hair and weaves?! Or is it even a black hair thing - is there a reason why we're so secretive when it comes to our hair secrets?! In some ways, are we playing into the stigma that black hair doesn't grow - that it can't be long, etc?
A poster mentioned that if Beyonce was on camera, and someone asked about her hair, would she say it's a weave? Probably not. But Jessica Simpson, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, even Paris Hilton do all the time. "Your hair looks pretty Paris" "yea, well Jacque put some extensions in and then died them to make my hair look fuller". Jessica Simpson openly admitted to wearing WIGS on the read carpet numerous times. No shame in her game. Pamela Anderson has admitted many times that she hates putting in the extensions for red carpet appearances because they give her a headache. BUT OUR stars want everyone to believe it's ours?
So I'm wondering, is there still a little shame in our game - not necessarily here on these boards, but just with sisters in general, and our hair?!

I can't help but wonder - with sisters, does the hair make the girl?
