This morning, a co-worker came in with a crimped water-fall phony pony. She usually wears her hair in a flat-ironed wrap style so, the phony pony was quite a different look for her.
Well, all the whyte folx were commenting on the ponytail, you know..."OH! How'd you DO that?" "WOW! That is so NEAT!" "HEY! Is that your hair?" "Lord, Ja'Marah, what is THAT?!" etc.
So, she proceeds to explain to a rapt audience of lily-whyte folx that the pony is fake hair; she just added it this morning 'cause she was "bored"; it's just a change of pace; she'll be taking it down tonight; she only put it on cause she needs a relaxer; yada yada yada....
Then, as if that wasn't complete enough dissertation for these nosy ass folx, she proceeds to explain that she needs a relaxer and that "all my hair underneath this ponytail is ROUGH. I only relax once a month but if I do not, then it won't all be straight, it will be rough at the roots and straight on the ends...." To which the fascinated white folx cooed "woooooooooow". I don't even really think the actually gave a crap about her phony pony, her new growth or her relaxing habits but, because they were so at a loss for words, she just kept talking.
I wanted to throw up. Do you feel you owe white folx an explanation about what is going on with your wig?
