It's not as stressful as you might think. I'm built for this. I'm a Taurus, we work the hell out of accoutrements. SO thinks it's a lot of work on my behalf (and I encourage that belief ), but really, this is fun for me. He pays for my time, the least i can do is be pleasant to look upon.
I'm in NYC and have maintained an amazing decade+ relationship with an AA man who does everything right. My small amount of effort is worth it. I said all this to say, all weave ain't about low self esteem. Sometimes there's a bigger angle. I doubt that my situation is the norm, just wanted to put it out here as a data point.
I am LIVING for your comments! I'm not even in NYC but in a small town in Michigan. My man (although not AA, but white) was JUST complimenting me as to how well I keep myself up.
I'm the type of girl who wears make up even to the gym BUT my skin care is also on point! I may wear extensions however my natural hair is also on point.
I care about my appearance and men (and women) love that. My guy loves the constant attention that I receive and it makes him feel like he has a prize.
I wear make up if I'm leaving the house, period. I like the look of feeling polished. I'm naturally beautiful however make up and extensions don't negate my beauty.
I simply come off as a quality woman who cares about her looks and maintenance.
