Ladies,
I have been a lurker for a few years and have slowly and gradually been incorporating information I've gleaned from reading the posts on here into my hair care regime. I've always had a good head of hair but I must say it is much much improved since i've slowly and gradually been incorporporating things i read into my hair routine. Now, my question is this, do you feel insulted when someone assumes that because your hair looks good it's a weave or wig? And the culprit is not any one race. I've had both caucasianss and african Americas assume that my hair is a wig or weave. I find this frustrating because I made a concious decision to try to improve the health of my hair and wear my own hair rather than be dependent on a wig or weave? Has this ever happened to you? How do you feel when it does? Complimented that your hair look so good someone would mistake it for a weave or wig or angry that people have so many sterotypes about black women's hair that the asumption is a healthy attractive head of hair on a black woman MUST be a wig or weave?
