As a Hairstylist, i can tell ya that her hair is weaved into the wig so it would be secured tightly. Its like ripping a chunk of hair out.

That stuff is wooven in, it costs hundreds, it's attached to every hair on their head. You wanna imagine having that all ripped out?

As a black woman, no. I've got braids.

I love the look of braids. My friend has it, but I hear it takes like three to four hours to get that stuff done.
Yep, but it also depends on what style you get. For individual braids, the thinner they are, the longer it usually takes. Mine run ~6 hrs.

lamingtonjoy
You should watch the documentary "Good Hair" -"Chris Rock explores the wonders of African-American hairstyles"
DagothWit
Also, many black women wear wigs because it's easier to maintain. People sometimes forget that blacks have naturally curly hair.(1/?)
Clayless
Also a lot of black women have curly hair that goes long, rather than afro.
InboxMeYourBeards
that's a wig, and no
IridescentLotus
No, but they are quite popular. Natural ethic curly hair isn't very popular in society right now. Hopefully that changes
Straightening it causes damage over time and can lead to premature balding or really thin hair.(2/2)
pimientofrito

Imguriansaremytruefriends

EvilLead
If your honesty curious there is a great flim by Chris Rock called "good hair" that will explain it all for you.
DidItForScience
A lot of them wear wigs and weaves because of social pressure to resemble the more accepted ideals of beautiful hair.
Gzzzzzz
yes as do a lot of white woman i recently figured out
impostersquall
many usa black women do. its part of the culture. Their hair is a bit harder to style, so grabbing a wig to go is a bit easier.
eatfartsnow

kanihaznaiph
There are 3 artificial hair accessories, wigs (self explanatory), weaves (typically braided into hair), and tracks which are glued in
Wigs can be used & maintained easier, I believe weaves & tracks CAN be salvaged/reused but they're usually disposable

unless she is very light skinned the only way its her natural hair is if its an afro, dreadlocks, braids or permed with lots of product.
QueenOfEthiopia
I, a black female, have natural un-permed hair that's just as long as the average white girls hair. I have proof
bubbythewhale
Same. If I straightened mine it would be almost to the middle of my back
Nice :) there will be more of us to come especially with the natural hair movement that's going. Our hair is so beautiful as is
I know and I LOVE it when I see other naturals in public I'm so interested to hear what methods and products they use lol
Every1friend
I think that is not true for all but for most it is...obama's kids for example have their own straight hair
they probably use a chemical straightener or perm their hair straight. Black people Perm = straightened hair, white people Perm = wavy hair
theyreshellfishcoral
I work with a black woman who literally has a new wig every week but they look amazing.
SovietSabre
As someone totally unfamiliar with this stuff; wtf is a weave?
INeverThoughtIdMakeThisAccount
It's hair extensions you literally weave into your shorter hair on the top of your scalp. You can glue or sew (onto a cap) them on.
NothingRhymesWithClockworkOrange
You're a moron.
InfinitusEquitas1

kinggambit
in the usa alot wear it, its part of black culture not just african american. And yes they are expensive
It became part of black culture because of the dominant culture that decided it was ugly and the mark of a lesser person. 1/2
You get told that enough times over generations and see it missing in the fashion world, you start believing the negatives. 2/2
I was afraid of sounding like a racist, but then I Googled "weave" and went to images tab. Do it, see the results.
miraquiTOMA
In the Caribbean, our women never used to wear weave. But because of American influences some people have and tbh it's not something I like
Allerielle
Where I live, it's popular for black women to wear wigs or weaves. It was explained to me that natural black hair is difficult and time
consuming to manage. And, many black women damage their natural hair and scalp after many treatments. So even if they want to go back to
natural, it isn't always feasible. I can't pretend to understand any of those issues, but it sounds like a royal pita to deal with.
That's a wig, not a weave.
ArcipluvianCosmicGallows
What's the difference?
AuntSharron
Weaves are woven into your real hair.
ty
WhatDoesTheGrowlitheSay
whats the difference?
JustaMITH
A weave is woven in with your real hair, a wig is just placed on your head.
so a weave is suppose to be permanent?
"More" permanent but not forever lasting. Over time a weave will be replaced or touched up.
AlexGalbraith
Yeah, snatching someone's weave hard enough to pull it off would be assault. It's sewn in to your actual hair.
ikeepwipingSTILLPOOP
OOOH, "weave", as in, "woven into the hair" fuuuuck it was right in front of me all along

thatsmynametoo
A lot do- I believe bc the straightening done to it earlier damages it a lot. But there's a big natural hair (curls) movement going on atm
My mother is a hairdresser,and has seen some damage done with straightening iron.
gummysharkies
I love it so much!! (I have boring wavy hair) but I get all giddy when I see a girl with her beautiful natural curls. So pretty!
As a guy who loves curly hair, I'm enjoying the movement!
I'm so glad about this - my curls got me so much bullshit in the past from people.
SanzOfTime
Probably from other black women. Most people I know think black women look better with natural hair.
I'm not black...
Welp. Thanks internet anonymity. I've just got a couple black friends who always complain that other black people give them crap.
beneaththemanwefindhisnucleus
But does straightening make you go bald? This woman looks a little bald. I hardly ever straighten because that's my biggest fear.
I was more talking about chemically straightening- like opposite of a perm. But I think she just has her hair wrapped up to not interfere.
OHH that makes sense.
I'm so glad too. Going natural was the best decision I've ever made. I love my fro.
SomethingInTheseHills
This may be a silly question: is straightening hair any worse on natural hair? I'm a girl and straightening hasn't damaged my hair at all
frequency I'm using heat on it. I'm down to 1-2x/wk but I have long, thick hair so it can absorb more oil than someone with finer hair. 4
with a different shape (like a perm). Using heat on your hair is damaging, but less than chemicals. And it all depends on your hair type 2
Not a silly question. I was referring to chemically straightening which involves breaking the compounds in your hair and then set them 1
And how much heat you're using. I personally try to limit how much I wash my hair so it gets all the natural oils and also decreases the 3
Ringshadow
As a white chick, I just gotta say, there is nothing more amazing than natural black hair. Wish more ladies kept their curls.
Patlabor
Letting your hair do it's thing is cool and all, but "nothing more amazing?" We send people to SPACE. We killed SMALLPOX. We have NUTELLA.
Why thank you. Lol I've been natural 3 years now it's worth it. Ppl just don't wanna put in the effort
iweredhomeskooled

Copperbrat
My best friend in hs had really tight frizz. We used to get ready together and it took her ages to manage her hair. Even the "natural" 1/
look still takes a great deal of effort, product, and routine. As fabulous as natural black hair looks, it can be a lot of work. 2/

priceynz
What makes them choose between hair pieces or natural hair?
Honestly personal preference. I have natural hair but I wear wigs sometimes because it allows to change my hair style on a whim
Doing my hair is very time consuming and wigs are very convenient and time saving
RoninOni
It's a societal stigma thing though really... that natural black women hair isn't "beautiful", which of course it is, but, racial bias =\

Lol man you're trying so hard to not offend anyone xD

A lot do- I believe bc the straightening done to it earlier damages it a lot. But there's a big natural hair (curls) movement going on atm
lookingOknaked
My mother is a hairdresser,and has seen some damage done with straightening iron.

I love it so much!! (I have boring wavy hair) but I get all giddy when I see a girl with her beautiful natural curls. So pretty!
miraquiTOMA
As a guy who loves curly hair, I'm enjoying the movement!
IridescentLotus
I'm so glad about this - my curls got me so much bullshit in the past from people.
SanzOfTime
Probably from other black women. Most people I know think black women look better with natural hair.
IridescentLotus
I'm not black...
SanzOfTime
Welp. Thanks internet anonymity. I've just got a couple black friends who always complain that other black people give them crap.

But does straightening make you go bald? This woman looks a little bald. I hardly ever straighten because that's my biggest fear.
thatsmynametoo
I was more talking about chemically straightening- like opposite of a perm. But I think she just has her hair wrapped up to not interfere.
beneaththemanwefindhisnucleus
OHH that makes sense.
bubbythewhale
I'm so glad too. Going natural was the best decision I've ever made. I love my fro.

This may be a silly question: is straightening hair any worse on natural hair? I'm a girl and straightening hasn't damaged my hair at all
thatsmynametoo
frequency I'm using heat on it. I'm down to 1-2x/wk but I have long, thick hair so it can absorb more oil than someone with finer hair. 4
thatsmynametoo
with a different shape (like a perm). Using heat on your hair is damaging, but less than chemicals. And it all depends on your hair type 2
thatsmynametoo
Not a silly question. I was referring to chemically straightening which involves breaking the compounds in your hair and then set them 1
thatsmynametoo
And how much heat you're using. I personally try to limit how much I wash my hair so it gets all the natural oils and also decreases the 3

As a white chick, I just gotta say, there is nothing more amazing than natural black hair. Wish more ladies kept their curls.
Patlabor
Letting your hair do it's thing is cool and all, but "nothing more amazing?" We send people to SPACE. We killed SMALLPOX. We have NUTELLA.
bubbythewhale
Why thank you. Lol I've been natural 3 years now it's worth it. Ppl just don't wanna put in the effort
iweredhomeskooled
Agreed! I would love to have a short curly 'fro. They look so cute but my hair is bone straight :(

Chuffing fuck? I like that. I'm stealing it

It is very difficult to manage

What the heck is going on here, why is everybody so polite and well informed ? I haven't seen this for a long time on imgur

My hair is VERY thick and curly. I often wonder if I have black ancestry in me somewhere.
Copperbrat
My best friend in hs had really tight frizz. We used to get ready together and it took her ages to manage her hair. Even the "natural" 1/
Copperbrat
look still takes a great deal of effort, product, and routine. As fabulous as natural black hair looks, it can be a lot of work. 2/
PillaPlease
Tried it. FUCKING HATED IT. Never again. Skin breakouts, too expensive, time consuming, attracted weird men, stranger in the mirror... Ugh.
LucianaYeahh
As a white girl with curly hair I totally get you! I was tired of it when I was 13...
sicilanblue52
As a black female. That's a wig not a weave. And a many women wear wigs or weave.
FurMissile
So....
priceynz
What makes them choose between hair pieces or natural hair?
sicilanblue52
Honestly personal preference. I have natural hair but I wear wigs sometimes because it allows to change my hair style on a whim
sicilanblue52
Doing my hair is very time consuming and wigs are very convenient and time saving
RoninOni
It's a societal stigma thing though really... that natural black women hair isn't "beautiful", which of course it is, but, racial bias =\
watercolortitties
Same. I keep my hair in cornrows under wigs and people ask why I wear them since my hair is "long"...bc I wouldn't have hair if I 1/2
