It's so sad, but I believe that the words weave, wigs and fake hair are synonymous with black females. We're trained from the womb that those of us with textured hair MUST manipulate it to acheive beauty. It must be twisted or braided tightly months after birth to feign some semblance of straightness.
I do believe we have a coded "no nap" policy within our culture. Of course, when Africa sings from within your natural locks, you are then taken into the HEAT manipulation stage, PRESSING or Flat Ironing. By age 8 you're up for consideration for a relaxer. By teens, you've graduated up to adult relaxers, now being seduced by racks of Korean, European and Indian hair of all lengths, textures and colors. Beckoning you to buy and try them as an alternative to your short abused tresses.
Soon, you're hooked! You're a wanton weaving woman! By now, you're a Pro at bargaining with Quan-Lee over the price of his Remi. You know exactly when the next shipment of his 18inch, wavy with burgundy color tips will be in. You discover that you no longer have to struggle with your own locks to make them acceptable to you. You now relax only to blend into the wig, weave or purchased hair of your choice. You cornrow your natural hair to hide it, not to guard it from the elements, but to have it serve only as an anchor for you to lock glue or sew to it. You no longer regard your own hair as even anything to present. Most likely it isn't, thanks to your neglect and disregard. Your hair has now become only an anchor for the more pleasing and presentable euro/korean/indian hair.
Yes, I beweave that if the hair breaks that many young black girls will simply buy some to replace it. Their mothers are most likely as bald as they are, so they'll be good Guides in the country of Fauxhairland.
I do know that there are women who must wear faux-hair due to permanent hair loss.
I was at the mall and road up the elevator with two of the most adorable four year old twin girls. As I chatted with their mother about the sales, I looked down at the girls, they had braided extensions. OMG! They were four and had someone elses hair woven into theirs. Noooo! Not that soon! Of course I said nothing, but extensions at four? Come on!
No, I've never really resided in the country of Fauxhairland and I have nothing against those that do. Personally, I'm just cheap like that! I just hope that those that do reside in Fauxhairland are as informed as LHCF members about the caring of their own tresses underneath. JMO
Here's to meeting more "cousins of Niko" that can take down a bun and you go WOW at the length of their home-grown hair! No rows, no thread, no glue, no tracks! Tell Mr. Lee to keep it on the racks! You're already covered!
Interesting.
Let's just say I'm glad I got out of that state of mind.
