So I discovered that my boss has a weave (infusions). I found out because one of her "pieces" fell out and was just laying on her shoulder during a meeting. I kindly removed it for her. Wow!

I'm assuming they weren't of the Britney Spears "rats nest" variety.:lachen: Was she embarrassed??
 
^^I know! Quite a lot of WW wear those fusion extensions. They're barely detectable and I guess they work well with their hair b/c they avoid oils and condishes that provide slip.
 
Idk.. Maybe it's a New York & Chicago thing... But white women with extensions is VERY common. I wouldn't have even been surprised. They just don't get called out on it b/c most people assume it's their hair. ...However a very, very, very large portion of hair extension revenue comes from non-black women.

They also pay obscene amounts of money to have it put in. So much so that I need to start a business! lmao. Look out for Overpriced Hair Extensions for The Naive coming to a suburb near you lol.
 
i see white girls all the time at work with infusions in...
how do i know?
because, their own hair is so fine and blonde that it doesn't cover the tracks on top of their head...

I live in Southern California, and yes, it is very common :yep:

I'm not even surprised - extensions are not a race thing anymore.

I was at an audition for a hair show and this Caucasian girl had a sew-in. I had no idea until she asked another girl sitting next to her what kind of hair they said they were looking for and the girl said long and blonde or willing to go blonde and said "you could be a good fit, your hair is pretty long" she was like "my hair underneath is short - it's a weave". I was surprised at that, only because they specifically said no weave/extensions on the audition notice lol.
 
Actually, the salon visit that prompted my hair journey was where I first learned that weaves/extensions were not a Black-only practice. I was trying to get a Japanese straightening service, but it turned out that I had a lot of breakage that I was unaware of, and the stylist offered me extensions, flipping her blond hair up to show me hers. I thought about it for half a second, then decided that if she couldn't keep her own hair from breaking off, maybe she wasn't the best person to advise me on how to handle mine.

I will give her props for recommending wrapping my hair at night, though. That's what started me on the healthy hair path in the first place. Before that I had overprocessed, then compounded the error by twisting and clipping my hair without a scarf or wrap...I should have been bald for all the damage I did. Sorry to get sidetracked, OP, just remembering the bad old days...can't believe how far I've come.
 
I never gave much thought to causcasian women wearing weave until I accompanied a friend of mine who is a stylist to a shop that specializes in weave and one of our local news anchors came out of the back raving about how her hair turned out.
 
I was helping a chinese friend get ready for a night out, she had extensions, applied in China!
I was surprised because its the same way the do it in Angola (not a weave, the roots and hair are braided and then tied with an elastic band)
 
I see some stringy arse weaves on YT women just as I do black women. It's good to see that weave tragedies are indiscriminate! :lol:
 
I do my white co workers sew in all the time....she claims her hair just doesn't grow. At first I didnt believe, but she died her hair about 6 months ago and I can hardly see where her natural color grew in.... go figure
 
White women have been doing this for years especially in hollyweird. FOR YEARS but I don't think anyone ever asked them if their hair was real
 
Yeah they sure do it. Think about how many of them bleach their hair; we all know bleach eats your hair UP. No wonder they can't accumulate length.

This actually reminded me of a woman I saw at my store last week. She came in just before closing, hootchie and stank-a-dank, knowing she was holding us up (sorry, but if you show up at a store close to closing, please realize that people have been working on their feet all day and would like to get home to their families), but lollygagging her over-processed bleached blond behind around anyway. My co-worker, an older white woman, and I waited her out politely, then commented about her after she left. I thought my co-worker's eyes were going to fall out when I told her the hootchie was rocking fake hair. This was literally her face: :blush:

I must mention that I would have maintained her poorly-kept secret if she had been at least marginally polite. And no, I did not put her on check in front of people. I just told my co-worker after the store was closed.
 
I guess what shocked me is that her hair really did not look like a weave. And for the hair to be just hanging like that.

Black people didn't invent weaves at least not the way they are installed and worn today.

:yep::yep: Cher and Dolly Parton comes to mind from back in the day. They just usually wear them for volume more so than length but I've known WW who wore weaves my entire life. They were doing before we were. Most AAs couldn't afford it. They do those more expensive fusion weaves. :yep:
 
There's always some kind of sense of shock and awe when threads about weave and white women come about and its kind of funny. The difference is, the ratio between wwomen who wear it as a style and wwomen who wear it as a crutch is inverted when it comes to bw.

and of course its never as obvious! they get their own texture. (or similar enough). I used to almost have a heart attack when my (malaysian) friend told me how much she pays for the fusion extensions though. Ridiculous
