So after taking a look at Foxy Brown's hair posted in an earlier thread...

It left me thinking about an interesting question/topic.... So many of us have now unlocked the tools to healthy gorgeous hair, and we're growing our hair long and strong. But what if YOU were in the entertainment industry, what if you were subjected to the pressures of the standards of beauty and had a look to maintain, how would you go about it? Many of us dislike weaves, and we as non-celebs are always saying how we're sick of seeing actresses/singers/models with weaves flowing down their backs and would like to see more of them with their own tresses, and wearing it proudly... Relaxed OR natural...
So if you got to a shoot and they wanted to take your beautiful long hair and curl it, maybe spritz it with hairspray, tease here and there.... What would you do? How would you prep for that? What would you do after the shoot was done to maintain your hair's health. Would you be so inclined to run for the weaves and wigs? It makes you think about women like Wanakee who wore her long hair as it was, and there are many others out there too. Many black female entertainers do claim it a thing of convenience but HOW MANY KNEW/KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR HAIR.... How many have the knowledge that goes into maintaining our hair type and grow it long in general? How many are just as clueless as we were before LHCF? And finally how many use these styling method as a way to achieve long hair because they don't think their hair can actually be as long and healthy as a weave? It's easy to lay on a simple explaination because it's always said by everyone else.
Again what would you do....
