What is it with Weave in nigeria and the nigerian diaspora?

first of all can i ask you if any of you have watched the movie by chris rock called "Good Hair"? im sure some of you have refused to watch it so as to remain ignorant abi?

then some of you are going to say "Am using peruvian har not indian", as if there is much of a difference.

so those that will say they dont use indian hair say so to escape the guilt of the spiritual ties attached to Indian weave. OK fine... but what about the cultural insult to our african roots and heritage?

Was the Good Lord not aware of what he was doing when he gave you African hair?

did you see the Queens and pharaohs of African past seek to straighten their hair?

secondly, who says this weave fits ALL of you because hellooooooooooo.. it doesnt. the way sometimes you just plump it on ya scalp is not attractive at all.

as most of you are christian, didnt paul say women should cover their hair?

worst of all, black people in general (and this applies to me as well) have failed to even make real money from this foolish weave on craze.

black people are 99.9% of the total consumers of weave, yet we make up 0.1% of the retailers and real money makers behind weave on and black hair care products in general.

DISCUSS.........

what about the guys that are goin crazy on curls. they even braid. wont you address it?

Waiting for the translation

Spicylate: what about the guys that are goin crazy on curls. they even braid. wont you address it?

this is not about guys though, feel free to create your own topic asking that question. however, yes it is a problem but i can chellenge you to mention 30 current popular nigerian men with curls, while i challenge you to name me 30 current popular women without weave.

secondly, men braiding their hair is part of african culture, it has been practised thousands of years ago...they are braiding their own hair afterall so that is not even a point worth raising in relation to this topic.

thirdly, havent you been taught not to answer a question with a question? pleease stand up jare

1one: Waiting for the translation

why do women wear weave.

am just hear to watch

There is nothing wrong in wearing wig, or hair extentions. Its all part of beauty process..I wear wigs and human hair extensions a lot, doesn't mean I ain't proud of my natural hair. All is part of beauty enhancement and what defines us as women...even the oyibo people wear hair extensions and wigs too...its a good thing I love it. Its sexy, gorgeous, hot and attractive.
...

Generations of being conditioned to believe silky is better,finer,sexier. The adverts and movies bombard us with silky hair,the products all have women with silky hair.

Anoda yeye thread,this morning.
Pls,get a novel & read.Instead of this

Op! Wake up
We r in 21th century mehn

Spicylate: what about the guys that are goin crazy on curls. they even braid. wont you address it?

we do that because we like it. we as guys no longer see girls with natural curl and braids, so we do it on our own hair. if a guy tells u to braid your natural hair, u will say he is stingy and don't want to give you girls money for Brazilian or whatever hair. look I love my African natural hair. if I want long hair, I rather date a woman with long hair.

please explain how you can claim you enhance something that you are proud of?

when someone is proud of his muscles, does he cover it with a bra and wear leggins?

if you are proud of your mercedes benz, do you enhance it by using volkswagen Logo and tires?

if i am proud of my house, do i enhance it to look like my neighbours house?


please i dont understand ya statement

ggrin: Op! Wake up
We r in 21th century mehn

what does this mean? that in the 21st century we must abandon our history? why do Indian women not find african hair cool?


yes i agree that indian women and other asian women try and enhance their beauty by looking oyinbo but this is all part of 21st century conditioning, NOT something we should accept as 'normal'.

just because its 21 century does not mean i should now start nyashing goat.

i didnt bother readin ur post..d topic is enuf to knw wat d post is all abt....bros abeg start wit ur gf....wen she starts, we will follow.

^^^
What is she saying??
I actually support the OP to an extent, well lemme see how this goes

Why do you cut your hair!
Hair that God gave to you! Hair that u can't create a strand of! Boys go to the barbing saloon to cut it!
So you mean God didn't know what he was doing when he made ur hair grow! Ehn BOYSSSSS HELLFIRE AWAITS

Prettilicious: i didnt bother readin ur post..d topic is enuf to knw wat d post is all abt....bros abeg start wit ur gf....wen she starts, we will follow.

you DID read it, thats why you have posted in here. buranyway....... my gf DOES have natural hair, even my ex did. to be honest, of all my serious Gehlfrens only one wore weave. so yes, charity has started at home. also, my sister is growing her hair naturally..she has done so for the last 5 years now.

my mum, wears a wig occasionally only because she lost most of her hair through child birth! (me!). but not weave on..

as for the peson asking why i cut my hair... well i am not a Nazarene so i was not under any cultural or religious or moral obligation to continue to grow my hair forever. however, i do not conform to the western standard that alot of the black diaspora adhere to. therefore i DO let my hair grow quite a bit before trimming or cutting it. once again, another question that tries to sidetrack from the main issue at hand here.
