This video of a stylist giving women advice on how long to keep a weave in is down right gross, but it had to be shown because some women are still keeping weaves in for six to eight months at a time despite warning.

The video has since gone viral and is pretty much on everybody’s time line so many of you probably have already seen it.
We think it is of utmost importance to not make light of this and laugh about it but to really urge women who do get sew in’s to do it for two months or less at a time.
The fact that your hair gets matted and will have to be cut is one thing, but to have mold growing on your scalp is very dangerous for your health over all.
I have personally heard women saying, “I do not care about my real hair because I wear weaves all the time” , the thing is at some point you will have to care about your real hair.
The body is not set up to deal with months of neglect without breaking down in some form and that is the same for your hair and scalp.
It is much easier to pay more attention to your own hair and scalp using a weave as a means of enhancing your healthy hair practices rather than harming it.
The general rule of thumb for weaves is two months but we want to emphasize that even with wigs* you need to pay close attention to what your hair is doing under there. Additionally before you put your weave in, you should make sure your hair is clean and strong.
What is the maximum length of time you have ever left your weave in for?
People should know better….
Nasty she nasty no way going around it
Riiiiiiiight! Who doesn’t wash their own hair for that long?
Exactly and if she have a man he just as bad as her …
Lazy ….I’m w/Nicole Burton on this one..people should know better…smh
Omg, take it out after a couple of months, wash it and your hair and put it back in!
???????? stop. Hahahah
i just dont do sew ins period im cool with wigs tho. …..y in the hell would you leave it in that long? your hair has yo breath and br cleaned
Lol. I don’t even know about any sew ins, wigs, front lace i wish. My hair would be on fleek! .. Hahaha a new world i picked up also ?
I don’t do weave wigs etc. My hair length is almost my age and am in the early 20’s
make my hair itch damn! !!! make me wanna go wash my hair !
I have sensitive scalp and my hairline is crying out from the accident where they had to stich me next to my hairline. So my hairline looks weird sad face
I didn’t itch I gagged…nasty
Hygiene! If she’s not washing her hair…..
If women can’t afford the upkeep, maybe they should care for and style their own hair.
Wearing a weave for 6 months? Imagine how stink it must be under all that fake hair? Yuck.
I’m with on that. I like hair to be washed every week but can’t afford to go that much. So, guess what? I wash & style it myself.
Yucky ?
If they can’t afford the upkeep, they simply don’t need a weave ??????????
Omg ! I said this over a year ago . It had to smell like death. I dnt usually say thing like that but damn.
This is why you have to keep people around you who will be honest with you. Six months??? WTH was she thinking and where were her friends?
6 to 8 months, wait….what!
That’s dang near a year..
Her hair looks broken around the sides. I wear weave no longer than 1 month if even that
Ugh
Gross, no way she had to have been aware of an odor…omg
I just said the same exact thing..
Attention “Hoes”?
I am upset at the comment above – “Attention Hoes, Your Sew-Ins Is Not A Baby…”
Some dude made a meme out of the pictures on Twitter. I just saw it. Black Hair didn’t do that they just used his post.
Was it that guy Tommy Sotomayer that hates black-women?
Wouldn’t surprise me.
Radical. Just ignore attention seeking Facebook whores.
That’s actually vile ? 6 months!!!
Yuck!!!
So if her weave is left in too long that makes her promiscuous? I’m not getting the connection.
Just shave off the hair and let it grow again – nasty
Exactly. It’s just hair not a limb..
Lol. Why!!! Color purple voice
Natural
Well if u Dont have the money for the up keep rock ur own hair
Some assume weave, wigs, Tony ponies, etc. are ‘vacation’ from caring for their hair. WRONG!!!
I thought it was a dog with mange at first, cause i just refused to believe it was a human head with all that matting!!
But why saying hoes?
Yes! ?
Oh wait. No it’s on shaderoom
Oh well this is another one
Crap is beyond nasty and gross!
I don’t care if this woman walked in our salon with lice, mold and roach lava. What she wouldn’t be called is a “hoe”. I’m sure she feels humiliated already. There’s no need to disrespect her.
Truth. .
Poor girl was just not informed of what to do with her weave….but a hoe though ?
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Nasty
Yuck.
I am personally tired of seeing black women with self inflicted balding because of all this added crap getting glued, sewn and braided onto their heads.
getting your hair sewed or braided isn’t the problem, it’s simply the women not taking care of their hair. I always have my hair either braided or in a sew-in & i still have a head full of hair with all of my edges. Women are just lazy & think that because you have your hair done, you don’t have to maintain it that’s all.
I’m glad for you too, your outcome is good. I’m more concerned that several women I know personally have thinning hair and baldness on the sides and front of their head as a result of glue, sew ins and tight hairstyles.
glue is really bad for your hair, if you get a sew in then the person should know how tight it should be for the first couple of days until it loosens up, & if their hair is braided too tight then they either need to tell the person that does their hair to not braid so tight or go to another stylist. I’m a stylist myself & if someone wants to put glue in their head i tell them no bc that’s the easiest way to get your hair pulled out.
I agree..if you can’t afford to get it done at appropriate times then don’t. I can’t afford to get my hair relaxed right now which i hate because my hair is seriously nappy xx;;
Ppl know how long to leave their weave in. They choose to keep it longer because they like it more than they care about their own hair. As long as it looks good, they’re keeping it. Don’t tell anyone but some don’t wash their hair the whole time they wear the weave.
If you’re gonna rock any hairstyle, you have to know how to maintain it & your hair @ the same time. This is plain laziness & I’m not gonna feel sorry for someone who’s experienced this cause you did it to your damn self. Too many women tryna keep/grow/maintain healthy hair & you’re gonna throw that away for what?
well my hair been relaxer free going on 3 years now wigs i only had three but i wash my hair every week love my curls why??? because its cheaper . and its healthy for me but ill be moving on to locs in a couple months and thats still cheaper upkeep than weave sewins and wigs ….just my opinon
Damn
The person who shared it under this page actually said the way that the delivered the news was gross but I agree with you, they should have not shared it because the video itself was so disrespectful with the lady sitting right in the chair!!
That is just hair up keep and washing. And some ppl get build up quicker than other ppl. Lawd if ur natural that fine and relaxed is good too. We both have to take care of our hair either way if not the result would be how her hair look. As far as calling her a hoe that’s just uncalled for
Gross
Let’s stop judging. And that’s all learn from this situation. That is what wrong itch us black people. We are so quick to judge and be little us instead of uplifting and helping one another.
You’re a nasty ass for leaving wave in that long.
Wauww
Smh just ignorant
NOT LOOKING!!!!
Um..she didn’t smell it? They can’t smell ?
I do feel sorry for the woman wearing weave until mold starts to grow in it. She is the closest thing to her hair. Didn’t she smell the stink coming from her head? I wash my hair once a week and in the Summer, twice a week. You have to take care of your weave the same as you do your natural hair-that is if she washed her hair.
ANOTHER reason why I don’t wear weaves. That looks disgusting!
I just can’t wait for weaves to DIE.
