Got hair envy? Who doesn’t, how many times have you come across your favorite celebrity or just a random girl on the internet with the most awesome hair you have ever seen. Then after further ‘investigation’ you find out the hair you would love to have is actually a weave or wig?
The good news is since it’s a weave or wig, you can actually have it, the bad news is you are probably not into that.
So if the answer to wearing a wig or weave for you is a hardcore no, maybe after a little coercion you might change your mind.
There are actually many benefits to rocking a weave or a wig* for a while a few of which are great for the health of your own hair. Below are two reasons you should buy it while you grow it.
Protective styling
Weaves and wigs* are one of the best options for protective styling there is out there. They not only protect the hair from our own excessive manipulation but the cover the hair and protect it from the harmful rays of the sun.
What is most important is how your care for your hair underneath, the wig* or install. Keeping your own hair clean, well moisturized and sealed is a great start to protecting your own locks.
Once you have that down, the rest is easy, just don your wig or install your weave and leave your real hair alone to grow in peace. Personally I look at weaves or wigs* as a means to an end, you wear them during the grow out portion of your journey and when your own hair is at the length you want you can then decided to never wear them again.
Aesthetics
We all love to switch things up every now and then, who wants to look at the same boring hair day in and day out? A wig or a good weave gives you the chance to experiment and to sport something new while not changing a thing about your own hair.
If you like length, make it happen! If you’ve always wondered what you would look like with a short hair style, don’t cut your hair just buy some!
Byronnnnnnnnnnn lol Love her hair!!
You took the words right out of my mouth
She’s so perfect
Naw
Beautiful
I ain’t try a get over it. I’m natural and I rock wigs and weaves and I know white, Latina and Asian women who do the same without shame.
Yes they do! I sell hair to them too!
Teyana Taylor has 3c hair texture but this definitely a weave because she can go from short to long within a few months.
I believe. It’s her on hair
Sorry not sold I am not getting anyone rich by selling me something I already have. I refuse to wear someone else’s hair on my head sown into my scalp. They maybe instances wear a wig should be worn chemo or balding but other than that No Sale. More natural black hair salons need to be opened.
Just because u dont do it doesnt mean u should look down on someone for it, I have natural hair like Chaka Khan but who am I to speak on people who dont have as much hair as mine? Not that serious
WELL if you go natural why would you need a salon,,, back in the day when we went natural all we needed was A PICK n AFRO SHEEN lol
@barbara I was offering an option to the people who own salons that think without the weave business they will be bankrupt.
I agree. Black women are getting out of hand with this weave stuff.
why is it when 1 are 2 people do something differ all of a sudden everyone needs 2 do it that way ,,, please ,wigs and weaves are not going any where,,,2 MUCH MONEY IS MAKED FROM IT ,,, REALLY LOOK AND SEE WHO GETS MORE ROLES N HOLLYWOOD
IF SHE CHANGE HER LOOK , WHAT WILL PEOPLE DO THEN ,,,WOW …I NO COME DOWN ALL OVER HER,,, AND SHE MAY CHANGE !!!!!ONE DAY
To each it’s own..I love it.
wow !
I dislike wigs and weaves that look unnatural. Some women take it too far .
All women from every background wear weave it’s whatever uu feel like doing for the time.
How does it look unnatural? Lots if black women have hair that looks exactly like this and some even bigger and longer.
and hers is a weave…lmao..i agree other races weat weaves and wigs nut of course the attention goes on us …lmao
There is nothing wrong with weaves. Just as long as you love your own hair too.
Teyonna’s weave is more famous than she is. Nothing wrong with it though she wears it well
That is all her hair, she dont wear weave because she doesn’t have too. Damn everybody need to stop hating.
Why is it hating to speak the truth about her weave. I have waist length hair therefore I have no reason to hate on Ms Taylor’s weave. I am just pointing out the facts. No one can go from barely shoulder length to mid-back length in a few months.
thats the first time l ever seen her look kinda of pretty
Pattigurl Sfl wasn’t specifically talking about girl pictured. Referring to weaves down to the feet, multicoloured, shiny and stiff looking.
Nothing wrong with it not everyone has to be pro natural , it shouldn’t be praised as trend anyways you were born with it lol should’ve remained that way so team natural vs wigs and weaves is unnecessary do what pleases you
This is not her hair. This is weave. If you google Teyana Taylor you will see that she wears weaves. Someone does a good job blending those tracks though.
I do believe its takin to far bitches don’t want to go outside if its not a wig or weave in they hair…they can’t even tolerate their own relaxed hair anymore…even that doesn’t appease them…its low key sad
She is wearing a weave and she has never hidden that fact. Unnatural colors and lengths are a trend among all races and ethnic backgrounds these days. Criticize them all.
Great article!
I don’t know why women wearing weave, wigs or it looking unnatural effect other people, it dont. If it’s not for you that’s your choice. All races wear it now so people need to cut the crap. Smh
That’s her natural hair this is a older pic of her but she has recently cut her hair just cause y’all some hair hatted hooligans don’t mean ever black woman why a good grain is
what type of weave or wig is this
I actually have a custom hair piece and wig business “lucke by Keisha” you can find it on fb and ig. And I make natural looking wigs. The best point is that wigs ARE protective styles. I don’t put heat on my hair AND I am pro natural. Soooo the myth that women who wear wigs aren’t comfortable with their hair texture is not true. When I want to wear my hair straight, or add color, I wear a wig. No damage to my hair. That’s y. Its much better. My clients love it… If you love wigs, check me out! @luckebykeisha !! 🙂
Oooo, that’s cute! I want one. 😉
If a person wants to wear them…SO WHAT..it is their right…I wear them and my real hair is long..just like to look different. .people really need to stop judging people….smh…
I think that’s her natural hair
I like her hair…I am all natural but will wear a wig from time to time…I happen to like wigs…nothing wrong with weave if it look natural but I don’t do weaves…
I do see where some women are coming from. Yes all races wear weaves or wigs at one point but black women take it too far as where they do not know how to care for their own hair. Throughout the day I see about 90% of Black women with weave. Other races maybe 2% if that.
I believe her hair is like this anyhow.. what ever it is I ♥ it!! ..
Weave is for length only for me. Shorter or longer. All this protective styling, aesthetics and colour can be achieved with my own hair. We should just do what we want to our hair. Black hair is diverse and beautiful. Look at our african people outside of the grid. If they are diverse and have their own thing going on we should too. Weave no weave natural relaxed bald or coloured. You can’t tell me weave is more diverse than my own hair though. Sorry not coerced here. I always hated that actually. That weave you speak is basically our hair straight. We can achieve that with no problems. And weave comes in many hair types all can be appropriated by our hair. BOOM
Bella
I don’t understand the big problem….so the hell what….if she wants to wear weave go right ahead….I’m mean geesh ….this weave vs. natural stuff is becoming ridiculous…..I do both…..and i really don’t care what anybody has to say smh….
I sell weaves and extensions, and the women I sell to, have a health relationship with their hair. Weaves are fun!!
I LOVE HER HAIR!! And I wear weaves and wigs at times and I have a HEAD full of NATURAL hair!! ..Im VERY VERSATILE and DON’T like looking the SAME everyday! DO WHAT MAKES U HAPPY!!
White rich woman invented wearing weaves all their hair isn’t long and luxurious. ..i am natural n i love a long Beyonce weave i do what i want. Poot if anyone else likes it…. living for others approval DIED IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
A black woman from Ohio invented weaving hair in the 60s.
The Beauty of Hair!!!!
That’s not weave in her hair.
Teyana Taylor wears her own hair. Anyone who saw her on Sweet 16 knows this.
But that’s that girls real hair though…
In that pic that’s kinky curly weave done by Kim Kimble…….but she does have a decent amount…….
Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Man why can’t we just wear our Hair the way we want to without somebody saying some negative comments! If you not gonna pay for somebodies hair to get done, if you not gonna buy those products to help grow hair and start the natural look why do you care so much? I look good in weave, I always get compliments, and win best hair awards so chill out
Weaves & wigs are convenience necessities for a versatile look for ladies ‘on the go!’ I’d rather do the weaves & wigs periodically then to cut my hair for a cute short style then have to grow it back out. Don’t have to do the dyes, colors, chemicals, etc and risk damaging my real hair or my scalp. ‘Put it on…put it in…take it off…or take it out! And your good to go!…Plus it saves time too!
Even though it’s not hers she still makes it look fabulous… So I love her kinky curly look, it’s perfection
First of all you did not hear me put anyone down I said what I would do and what’s good for me don’t try to put your spin on what I say cause your argumentative those are my reasons your grown you do what you want but I have a right to voice my opinion
This is her Natural hair
Whatever works for you.
No its a full lace….i want one….she wears it well….
Nice curls!!
I love that hair
