I have only put a phoney pony on, never a weave (my scalp itches way too much to be covered). But I love weaves on other people. Its a way to change your look and it also give your hair a break. All women are wearing extensions, hair clips, weaves, its a way to up your glamour and your fabulosness (think I made that word up)! There will always be stereotypes and all that jazz.
Wear whatever the freak weave makes you happy, makes you look good and do you!
