Why do black girls/woman wear weaves and wigs all the time, like it's the thing to do?

Question

Come on now, really? (yes, I know other women wear weaves as well.) I think that it is okay to wear a weave or a wig on SPECIAL OCCASIONS to add a little thickness or length, but everyday? I especially hate when people wear it down to the middle of their back, or dye it blond!!! (????) The only black people that has hair to the middle of their back, are African's. It is so tacky, they think that it looks cute, but in reality, it looks like a bad *** rug or a dead animal sitting on top of their head.

I am mixed (Black and Panamanian, and their hair is thick and nappy), and yes, I have had a hard time getting my hair to grow, and the only time I ever wore a weave was this past summer when I got extensions (braids), and I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN!! Just because I am mixed doesn't necessarily mean that I have "good hair". Spend the extra money and go to the shop and you will be amazed at how much your hair will grow. My hair has been the same length since I was 15, but now it is growing because I go to the shop. Stop wearing so much damn weaves, fake lashes, nails, and so much damn make-up, it's not cute, it really isn't!!! My black is beautiful!

YOU MAY THINK IT'S CUTE OR SEXY, BUT REST ASSURE....... IT ISN'T EVEN FLATTERING!!!

So, my questions is..... why do you feel the need to wear a weave?

Additional Details

Actually, I think that it is a front. You look like a completely different person with hair that is not yours. It's kind of gross. And no a woman did not "steal" my man, I have been with my husband for 12 years. I really want to know why woman wear fake hair, why not just let it grow?

I guess I will be fair, the only weaves that looks half way presentable are real hair.... I guess.

Being a black woman, that wear wigs, and my own hair, is because hair isn't who I am, I wear my wigs depending on what I am wearing or what mood I am in, my wigs fit me, No I do not wear wigs down to my back, the are short and sassy like me, I do agree we as black women wear a bit to much, but you must understand, if thats what makes a person feels sexy then more power to them. Second you say you are of mix race, so you truly do not know whats it like to deal with virgn hair a on daily bases, well I do, for you see, I do not put prems in my hair, its all natural, sometimes I may press it but, not as much since I work out, and I just sweat it out. Now I can''t speak for all Black women, only for myself, I have short hair, and I wear my own hear out in the summer, the winter I wear my wigs a bit more, I feel I am beauiful with or with out my wigs, and I think its very flattering.

Who cares? If they wanna wear a weave, let them wear the damn weave. If it bothers you that much, don't look.

Facepalm question.

Answer 4

Um...it's sounds like a black girl with a weave stole your man and you're angry and venting about it
THAT or you're jealous that a girl with a weave gets more attention than you.

Just a guess, though.

Anyways, I'm black and I don't wear a weave, neither does my mom, sisters, aunts, or cousins. But if a black woman- or any woman for that matter- wants to wear a weave, she can go ahead and do it. More power to her. It's not any of my business nor do I care.
