Have heard some girls/ladies complain about this but when they try elsewhere they never experience any pains. It depends on the hairstylist handling the braiding for you.

HandOfChukwu: 99% of black men around the world are against weave, so who exactly are you African women trying to impress by wearing weave?

You lie. If men complain about weaves at all it's because somewhere along the line the girl will ask them to pay for it.
But in the name of ah dis girl fine or no fine, they don't care. Some even tease girls that wear natural hair.
So? Oga where did your 99% manifest from.

Yeah. And later if she changes somehow, gains weight, complexion changes or anything at all changes from when you were in courtship, you will still be same husband to come Nairaland to announce that "my wife has changed, I feel like looking outside, please house what should I do?"

Onegai:

First of all, I've got natural hair. As in, no relaxer (my choice). And I can speak from the perspective of having all 3 in the past.

Black men and Black women are the problem. Yes. You have just said words which would make a black woman race to buy a weave.

You want to run your fingers through a woman's hair, that means you don't appreciate African hair texture. Our hair is thick and full and spirally, so, fingers idly running through it tangles it. Society has deemed, however, that smooth, straight hair is beautiful, and you as a man have declared "I can run my fingers through Asian, Caucasian Middle Eastern women's hair", happily ignoring the fact that your grandma didn't have hair like that (and you thought she was a wonderful woman), your sisters and mum didn't have hair like that (and you love them). You're in denial of your own hair texture (can you run your fingers through your afro?)

It's the same thought process I see with bleaching: men "hate" it but think fair-skinned girls are "prettier than dark skinned ones" or that "their skin looks cleaner than dark-skinned ones".

Hypocrisy is very subtle, isn't it?

Women, please listen to me: if you carry your natural hair from childhood, celebrate it, you won't be complaining how hard it is to maintain. I've lived on 3 continents and had non-blacks love my hair. But it was for a temporary feel (like the way we dream of being taller, having bigger bums etc), none was spending thousands of dollars to ever look like a black woman. South-Eastern women (Bengals and Indians) want to look lighter, Chinese girls wish they had upper eyelid folds that were bigger.


Because Society has conditioned us to believe straight hair and light skin is beautiful.

Now excuse me, I'm off to go find a man who thinks really curly afro hair is beautiful grin

My sister God too bless you eh.
Thank you for your comment. Don't mind the hypocrisy at work. And the denials of the part men play when it comes to black women and their beauty standards

I don't see anyone teasing girls for wearing natural hair...not unless it somehow looks rubbish but that is not because of the fact its natural, i see many more making fun of the weave wearers especially when they have blonde weave, its embarrassing, imagine a black man wearing a white mans blonde hair.....picture that in your mind... yes that is how stup1d you look wearing weave.

Well, I can't picture that in my mind because I don't wear weaves and have been teased for my hair being natural.
Check for my post in some pages back and read.

You don't see because you can't.
And it's only on Internet forums such as this where people claim anonymousity that the hate for weaves can be vented and natural hair is praised. On ground, that hate is kept in.
If you belong to the group that praise natural hair for real, thanks to the heavens, if you are another hypocrite.
Take a seat.

Using something fake as a source of self confidence and esteem is the height of self delusion. These self hating black females have an abundance of absurd excuses for their maddness. Just imagine how many lives that much money wasted on fakery could impact positively. Dont you lot have any shame? Where's your dignity? Appreciate and make the best of what you have and quit searching for what neither belongs you nor suit you. You dont have straight hair and never will. Deal with it. Beauty, confidence and esteem are innate. They arent stuff you can just purchase. You already possess them but your self hate keeps you from harnessing them. F*cking clowns. am outta here.

I don't know what you wrote up there. Lol.
I lost interest in Greek so the only thing I remember is Kalimera.
Japanese replaced Greek. Which is what I'm studying recently.
