Is natural hair a middle class phenomenon for 18 to 25 year olds?

I feel you op. You should have just called it what it is....LOW income EBT card carrying.....it is weaves, weaves and more weaves for them and natural is NO where in sight. I was in a nail salon and that is exactly what I saw.

Im an EBT card carrier. Im in college. Im all natural. And I've never worn a weave in my life. So this right here is just a load of BS. sorry.

I can't really speak on other natural-haired women, but part of my reason for transitioning into natural and doing my own hair is because of the lack of natural hair services in our living areas. Or a lack of stylists that are knowledgeable or willing to work with natural hair. I was tired of spending money on someone who claimed to be a professional or after they said "yeah I can do that style." If I make a mistake on my own hair with a $5 product, that's one thing. But placing my hair in the hands of a so-called professional, and wasting $75-200, AND still having to fix their mistake when I get home is too much.

I never saw a whole lot of black women wearing natural styles in the area of CA I used to live in, but I see it a lot here in Maryland.
