The problem is not that African women are wearing wigs, the issue is that they aren't wearing wigs in their natural texture. Wigs wouldn't be so controversial otherwise. 1 Like |

YelloweWest: Lol I wonder why you have alopecia? Alot of nigerian women don't have long hair. If you don't know how to take care of your natural hair and believe your hair is "hard" or can't grow, you will treat it as such. It's a shame. 3 Likes |

I support this movement! I always have admired women with their natural hair. I detest wigs and would make a point to remove it from any woman I was with. I'm attracted to the natural. I can understand some girls with alopecia wanna hide their patches but then bald men have existed for millennial and we dealt with it. Upside: More cultural identity and massive growth of local hair products designed specifically for black women. Downside: Massive loss for local wig importers and their abroad counterparts but in time, the vacuum would be filled with local hair products. 2 Likes |

pocohantas:True, but I still think we as Africans need to start embracing our culture more and try to modernize it and rethinking the way we make our hair and hairstyles is one of the ways to do it especially since In my opinion, the western culture has been on a downward spiral for the better part of a century now |

We4all:Yeah I agree, but I still think we need to embrace our culture more especially if we want to hasten economic growth. It is actually mental slavery not just to the ladies but also the guys that admire it. Am not saying it is bad but these things contribute to the way we view the world and affect our decision subconsciously. Changing it or making people aware of it might change the society(I think it will do) in more positive ways than we think. For example, it might be a more effective way of improving the country than trying to vote in the right leader in an election |
Re: The African Woman, When?� by Mirallas: 5:21am On Dec 29, 2023 |
Rukevwe999:I agree with you 100%. It is going to be Difficult to effect such change because it has been programmed into the subconscious. Also it will probably take years to change and maybe economic growth similar to the west before we realise. I don't think it is bad by itself just the indirect consequences it has on our economy, the way we think and what we prioritise in life as a people 2 Likes |

lexy2014:There is no way the ladies are wearing the wig if the guys don't find it attractive. It is simple demand and supply, how they find it attractive is what I am concerned, you can like whatever you want so long as you understand the pros and willing to bear the cons. The problem is that I don't think we as a civilisation understand the pros and cons of lifestyle choice and also the the real motivations behind it 1 Like |

If not, you will realise that NO man is making advances at you because of that wig. Na wetin dey your body men dey look. Women use wigs to show off to their fellow women. Smh 2 Likes |

OdefaGirl:So if you can't take good care of your natural hairs, it means when you get home and remove the wig, you will surely be a big turn off to your hubby? That's nasty. So you only want to go out with a well made wig to appear neat to outsiders while the man at home gets the unkempt version of yourself. Smh This is one of the big turn off in many women that wears wig. Once they are home and take off the wig, you will be seeing a hair that is not well combed or an all back that is not neat, making her look unkempt. Instantly the man gets turned off. 4 Likes |

Funny thread. I applaud your vision but I doubt that it will take off. You see, the main reason why women wear wigs is the ease and comfort. It is also cheaper in the long run. Natural hair, which I have at the moment, is extremely difficult to manage, no matter the products used. Some of these prodcuts are very expensive. The time spent every morning trying to beat it into shape to align with your outfit and the occasion, is not for the faint-hearted. You will most definitely be visiting the salon often which again is an absolute waste of time and money. Someone mentioned that natural hair shrinks. That is putting it mildly. Not only does it shrink to less than a third of its length, it becomes extremly hard requiring you to apply heat and more products just to straighten it out section by section. This alone can take hours. If you are graying out, then be ready to apply dyes just to look good. And talking about looking good, not all women look good in their natural hair. In truth, most look unprofessional because again, it is extremely difficult to whip into shape particularly if you have short natural hair or if your long natural hair has shrunk and its texture is rough. You talk about the whites/chinese looking after their hair to get that sleek, beautiful look. But you forget that most of them have tools/gadgets all of which requires electricity. You are a Nigerian, is this feasible? Are these tools affordable? I can go on and on but I simply don't have the time. Your vision is noble but like i said earlier, it won't catch on. A lot of factors must be considered beyond creating new high-end local products and competitions for best hair. Good luck 6 Likes 1 Share |

lexy2014:All these has a lotQql to do with how we see ourselves as a people. The white men don't need to force wigs on our women's head, it's a mere influence of an higher culture over a seemingly lower one. To many blacks, even outside, being light skinned in complexion, acting white and looking white is a sign of high status or sophistication. In colonial times people who were able measure up to the white men's standard of life easily got favours from them. And yes, many Nigerian guys are nuts for foreign women. They will ditch their girlfriends for a Caucasian woman with blue eyes and blonde hair if they had the chance. |
