Men - do they know when your hair is fake?

[HairQueen]

I don't wear wigs. I wish I could, but with a big head and thick hair it just wouldn't look right. I do wear braids often and I add hair always. I find that men are amazed that when I do wear my own hair that it is ACTUALLY MY HAIR. They just no without me having to answer the question-yes, it's my real hair. I had to attend a class trip to the prison for the academy and when I walked past a group of black inmates, the big argument was whether my hair was real or not. Most of them said it was real. You would think they had something better to talk about be it this is a MAXIMUM 4 PRISON. In general I think most men know and don't care either way. I had some men, that I have gone out with, tell me that they hate women that wear fake hairohwell:. That's when I change the subject, finish dinner, and never call them again. I am sorry, I can't have a man telling me what I can and can't do with/to my hair. One day I just might rock a cute wig.

Maybe its just a preference? - like some women don't like men with dreds, or cornrows or bald heads? I have a friend who hates men with long hair I on the other hand looove men with long hair..

My boyfriend can't tell when i have clip-on hair extensions or my own hair, i try to have them close to my own length or 3 inches longer.

Recently I had a guy in my class touch the back of my hair and exclaim, "so that's all your hair!" I just ignored him. I really dont know if people think it's real or not but I dont wear weave and haven't been outright accused of doing so. I for one cant tell if someone is wearing a weave most of the time and I truly dont care.

I wear wigs and I really don't care if they think it's fake or not. My motto is, it's mine because I paid for it.

I know for me if a man says that it signifies his ignorance. When most men can't even tell if a woman's hair is real or fake how can you say that you don't like women who wear fake hair? erplexed

Lets be real, if the average white guy met a girl in a bar and when he finally gets her to bed, she takes off her wig, he would be like wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sure most men would like a girl who was wearing just her natural hair regardless of it is short or long. But it is so superficial that most men can't pick a girl based on hair. So they end up saying they don't care.

Even though most would prefer naturally long hair, I think they just care about the entire presentation! If it looks good, it's all good

I've never been one to take the hair out the packet and place it straight on my head. I always cut it shorter, thin it out, dip it in vinegar, condition it AND wear the front of my real out and curl it to match.

I know it doesn't bother some women but I hate wearing fake hair so I was a bit embarrassed when he made that comment - kind of like I had been caught out lol!!

A male friend of mine thinks it is my hair and he always asks me "is that really your real hair? its so nice." I just find it hard to say no its not my hair - especially when I know that underneath my hair is almost the same length as the weave....

You are not obligated to confirm or deny that you are wearing a weave.

White girls wear fake tans.....or does that not compare with fake hair??

Why would she take it off? I leave mine on for all activities unless I'm home alone.

actually men do know. Men also know when women's breasts are fake a lot of the times, especially if they've dated a woman with fake breast. So if he's dated a woman with a weave then he'll know.

A fake tan is not comparable IMO, you can either spray it on or get in a tanning bed, no biggie, its more comparable to make up, and some men don't care for make-up.

White girls wear tracks too however, and am sure some unsuspecting white guy would be surprised when he runs his hands over her scalp. And also a lot of white women are blonde these days and most of em aint natural blondes; but it is so common amongst white women, that white men can't really complain about it.

But Like I said, it is very superficial. Especially when it is so common for black women to use hair extensions. It sounds like an excuse to say you don't like black women IMO
