It’s no secret that women in Nigeria spend crazy amounts on weaves, some with the hope of completing their package to find “Mr Right.”

I often rock braids and big twists, and have noticed that I get a different type of attention and compliments from men in comparison to when I wear weaves. This got me thinking, “Do Nigerian men prefer braids to weaves”. Is the preferred hairstyle by our men the cheapest of them all? I asked some guys what they love about braids and these were their responses:

You will always know when women with weave have been in my room as their hair sheds as if they are cats, which I hate.
It looks more natural and makes black women look less artificial
Braids that are done well allow men appreciate the beauty in a woman
I love my braids and they are easy to maintain, but it can get a bit boring.

What do you guys think? Does your man, brother, dad prefer braids to weaves?

Weavon.

Braids rock!
