Excuse me Miss.....

Well if they did catch an attitude and proceeded to cuss you out after you quietly and politely tried to tell them, then just say "Well you tha one with tha busted hair" and keep it movin...

your gonna get someone in a fight!​

 

[JuiceMobsta]

your gonna get someone in a fight!​

And say it LOUD too. Lol, nah but ppl need to chill with the attitudes... Thats not cool, I hope that no one ever catches an attitude with me cause I am not the one....

 

[JuiceMobsta]

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

As a former weave-wearer not too long ago I know just how it feels when your stuffs not on point..and guess what? I KNEW. Like someone said with weave as opposed to a booger there's NOTHING you can do unless you have thread or glue or are ready to tackle that mess. I didn't need anyone to tell me I had an exposed track or loose braid or whatever, I KNEW.

And the truth is while it may be helpful and kind from your angle you don't know what that person's dealing with: lack of finances or other difficulties which are forcing them to make the best of a bad situation. Or if they have been told 850 times that day about their weave and they feel broken down and depressed about it. Or frankly whether they were feeling cute and happy and you, not at all meaning to hurt their feelings, bring em down.

Like when someone kindly tells you your top doesn't flatter you.

DON'T TELL. SHE KNOWS.

Yeah it would probably make them feel all self conscious and embarrased.

Yes! I used to wear a weave in high school and one of the nice janitor ladies came up to me while I was with some friends and she started complimenting my hair while rearranging it and just kept talking to us but then under her breath said to me "your weave is showing honey" and then kept right on talking. I was but I was so happy at the same time!

Now that's an amazing way to tell someone.

 

[belldandy]

where do we draw the line? what if someones wig is sideways or their lacefront is peeling or halfway down their foreheads???

 

[Bnster]

I know honesty, I would not.

 

[beautyaddict1913]

Nope. I only tell strangers about period leaks.

omg! That only happened to me in 5th grade when i first started my womanhood journey! You see GROWN WOMEN with period leaks? Gasps!!!!

 

[LilMissRed]

nope. like someone previously said.. she already knows why embarrass her

 

[JustKiya]

Nope. I only tell strangers about period leaks.

See, and that is something I would NOT tell a woman about. I refuse to believe you can't feel the moistness in your drawls, and thus I assume you already know. To me, that would be much more embarrassing than pointing out an unconcealed track.

 

[Vashti]

Depends on the vibe. If she looks approachable I might say something quietly to her about it but if she looks like she'll woop somebody's a$$? Nope.

 

[Aireen]

Nope! Not getting into that mess! There are CRAZIES in this world and I don't want to experience an encounter over a messed up weave.
I would probably want someone to tell me though if I did wear them 'cause I know I ain't crazy, y'all. I would be very appreciative actually.

 

[C@ssandr@]

Heck no, not in New York. Also, in my neighborhood it's rare to see a good weave, most of these chicks already know their tracks are showing!

 

[PJaye]

If I did that in this town, it would become a full-time job; I am almost certain that this area is the Busted Weave Capitol of the U.S.

 

[mscocoface]

This would be one of those "it depends" answers.

[Shananyganz]

Case by case for me. I'm that female that will pull a stranger aside to let them know their fly is down, they have spinach in their teeth, or their skirt is tucked into their undies. With that said, I try to read people first to gage their response. It's sad to say, but a helpful gesture is not always received as such and the last thing I want is for my good deed to involve the need for security.

I would want someone to discretely tell me if I fall short, better that than embarassment or someone with lees couth calling you out; but not all will feel as such. And if we add insecurity or a major comlpex on top of that...sometimes, it is best to keep it pushing.

Just last week, I had to tell a woman that her track was showing. I just whispered to her. She didn't look very happy that I told her, but she quickly fixed it.

Maybe she just wasn't happy that I saw it and KNEW that it was a weave, seeing that it was soooo long.

 

[addaboutmyhair]

No and no, unless it looked like a recent wind accident. When my weave is busted I know. It's usually a matter of it's Thursday, I can't get to the salon until Saturday, so put up a bun and a head band and hope I don't look too triflin. You telling me what I already no is just adding stress to my life.

 

[Enyo]

I'm famous for passing notes to folks and gliding away. It always works for me.

 

[Mizz Diamonds]

I was getting people to register for a beauty makeover thing and was working with a white girl who's track was in full exposure the thread was loose and I told her and she said. "I don't even wear fake hair." and flipped her hair at me. she knows she was wearing a weave and instead of fixing it up she gave attitiude.OH well
