Hell no Its not that serious…..some folk be taking this weave thing too far
Lmaoooo girl I agree lol
EXACTLY!! Just GROW some hair for God’s sake!! Lol
I love my hair. So i would never do that just for a weave or wig.
um HELL no! I have HAIR! weaves are just for convenience, not necessity! no way jose. Spent way to long pampering my hair to WAX it LOL.. wow
So basically this woman has used a clear bra strap for a wig.
Also who in their right mind is waxing their head? Isn’t the point that you’re growing/protecting your hair.
I get lining up back there but this is ridiculous.
NO!!!!!
Then later complain about no hair? Nah
I didn’t watch the whole video but I mean it looks like its just the back of her neck. A lot of women even teens get that lined up back there. People wax everything else, why not wax that if you don’t want hair back there anyway?
Taking things to a whole next level as per usual Kmt
Wax my real hair off..to protect my FAKE hair? HellfugginNO!
Lol
I know right. If this isn’t the craziest mess.
Hell naw. Not for my weave. My naps will always run down my neck. What edge control won’t do won’t get done
Right! lol
lol
Da crap..heck no
My uncle just edges mine.
Hell no!
WHAAAT!!!I’d rather forget da wig.I love my curly afro n I’m proud of it.
I’ll kiss da wig gud bye…
I am not nor have i ever been that comitted to a weave smh. It’s not that serious! !! The only hair thats genuinely versatile is your own!!!!
Na
People be taking this weave shit wayy to seriously lol
No Way
I love my Hair. So i would never do that just for a weave or wig. Is never not that serious
Um No!
Hell no
Smh
Oh no. Can’t do that.
Nah
Getting my brows waxed hurts bad enough.
That’s absurd
All it is, a tape no need for a wax the same thing men and some women do. To line up the hair
No that is not good.
It sad when you can’t take it off because you have messed up your own hair!
Too great for me
Are you for real? Look what happened to the actress from the Parkers, Countess Vaughn. Now she don’t have any hair because of too many bad weaves, extensions and tight braids. Go natural.
Hell naw, because when it’s time to take it off then what ????? Lol
Noooooo
Some people be doing waaay to much
NO
that’s crazy
Hell to the no!!!
No, sometimes people do to much
Yes
No but there are people who shave their hairline in the front stupid If we spend our time and money investing in our self
Wow, that’s crazy. Does she plan on never taking off the wig?
Leave my naps back there alone.. Hell
I have my brother take care of that for me but not for wigs or anything like that.
Its not that serious lol
Some people just get the back lined up. But to wax it off???? Wow. She is doing too much.
HFN
Wow no
Idk about preventing slippage but it looks neat. The strap is going to slip a bit regardless
Nope!!!
nope… no other people’s hair for me
Black Women: Stop w/the weaves, lace fronts, and tight braids already!! The entire world is laughing at you!
That’s not a true statement. White women do the same.
This is the farthest statement from the truth
Lots of people get weaves but it is a bigger deal for black women and yes, we are made fun of for it.
The entire world though? It ain’t about black and white because beauty standards are different culturally and yeah, other races do use extensions and etc. Took it waaay too far with that statement.
Then again , why should one care? Everyone laughs at anyone for anything. fashion, hair style, the way they walk, the way they talk. ..
So your statement is pointless, because quite honestly if you like it then who gives a damn if someone else doesn’t? I suggest you gain some confidence because sounds like you care a little too much about what other people think 🙂
The entire world… probably not. But I do agree with the sentiment. I live in a predominantly black town. I know (personally) not a single white woman who wears extensions. (Feathers… different story) but almost every black woman I know wears weave, with the exception of 2 or 3 natural sisters.
It’s not so much a laugh but a big ole SIGH!!! my brothers girlfriend (and my personal bestie :)) wears weave all the time! It drives me crazy!! Do you know why white women wear weaves? For fullness! Most (I’m not gonna say all) black women have beautiful, thick, luxurious hair! Why cover that up?!? And there are so many different textures? Do you know, white women every where are dying for that kind of versatility? You can wear your adorable afro, twist it up, Banta knots, flat iron for a sleek smooth look… the possibilities are endless…
Anyways… ramblings of a jealous white girl. Stop covering up your gorgeous hair!!
Megan Elizabeth LaPlant I totally agree with you. I sigh too because its so sad. Black women do not realise how versatile and beautiful their natural hair is but yet they go out of their way to wear someone else’s hair to look like something they are not because society brainwashed a lot of us into thinking our natural hair is something that needs to be covered up!
Probably a misogynist bm trolling. You can’t dictate to other grown people on what to do to their heads. Focus on your own.
I wouldn’t dare!!! I preach, beautiful glorious hair! I’m not going to go as far as to say I know the plight… but I’m a redhead. I know what it’s like to be singled out and mocked for something you have no control over. Children are vicious little beasts (preteens really) Ariel was the only disney princess that looked like me. But as I matured, I realized that it is our differences that make us beautiful. What a boring life we would have if we all looked the same.
Embrace your natural beauty!! Weaves, makeup and hair color are fun bits that allow us to demonstrate our unique personalities, but when you become so consumed with a beauty ideal that is practically unattainable… what’s the point? Waxing your next line? Wtf?!?
O.o
You are ridiculous #stfu
Weave is like crack or a self esteem crutch to alot of bw, they ain’t giving that up
Save the curse words for face-to-face encounters…seriously. Okay…just an opinion….like everyone else’s. Continue getting weaves ladies, that destroy your hair follicles, and look unnatural. We happy now?
I happen to agree. But I am beginning to see that trends (in our history as decendents of African slaves) are not noticed by many. Which make it easier to continue them…but the world cannot be saved. 85% will be forever lost (and hostile when you mention enlightenment). So be it….I tried.
I sigh too…but not really at women wearing weaves, but the exaggeration of the weave. I’m all for 12-14 inches because to me that looks like natural length. My hair natural is about that long. But the 20+ inches of weave with the weird parts and such…makes me sigh…hard.
I want ya’ll to talk to my sister wo is braider. She specializes in repairing the scalps and hair follicles of Black women who have been wearing sew in’s, glue in’s, lace fronts, and box braids. What makes her different from other braiders is, she will not give you whatever you ask for just because it is “in style”, or because you ask for it. Instead, she assesses the scalps of women who have literally killed their hair follicles by allowing so-called stylists to braid, pull, and tug at their delicate hair and follicles. She hears the horror stories of the women in her chairs who have been SCALPED, literally. I did not believe it either ….until she told me, and showed me the photos. She takes photos of ALL of her customers prior to doing their hair so that she can never be accused of doing that to them. Every last one of them were in weaves, tight braids, and lace front wigs. I am against ANYTHING that destroys us physically and emotionally. So, get mad …or do whatever you want. Those styles are harmful and the products you are using to maintain them are FULL of chemicals. Additionally, wearing “straight” styles require you to avoid steam, water, and such. That means that exercise is a threat to the upkeep of those hair styles due to sweating, as are steamy showers and baths …and swimming. Now, I am not saying people do not bathe…but I am saying that having those styles, especially with the cost of maintaining them, would inspire one to avoid moisture. Moisture, Black women, is REQUIRED for our hair. Black hair REQUIRES mositure…ask any EDUCATED hair specialist….and I mean w/degrees. So….say what you want. Your hair needs daily MOISTURE, which completely destroyes pressed/straightened weaves. Don’t get mad at me…get mad at the styles you are choosing.
Too bad pics cannot be posted, cause they don’t believe it…
My Indian (former) supervisor at work initiated a conversation w/me. She says, “I hear that our hair is really popular in the U.S.” I tell her I do not know she is talking about, with a confused look on my face. She goes on to tell me that in India, they grow their hair so that Black girls can have beautiful hair. I give her a blank stare. Not because I did not know that already; not because it is not true. I give her a blank stare b/c it is actually true, and I could not think of a comeback.
I’m getting tired of the “white women do it too” excuse. When white women wear extensions it matches THEIR hair texture. If majority of white women walked around with Afro wigs Black people would laugh.
THIS WOMAN IN THIS VIDEO IS BALD!! HAIRLINE RECEDING. . AND SHE’S EVEN MAKING HER HAIRLINE DISAPPEAR IN THE BACK.. THIS ISNT A RACE ISSUE IT’S A BALD ISSUE
Hell no!!!
I have shaved off mine once before when i was wearing my dreads out, and the back doesn’t look good, but it grew back fast.
Oh no. I don’t want to wear a lace front.
Sick be yourself
This picture is just nasty!
Nooooo
Oh no lol
Self hate on steroids
HELL NAW
Roflol at the responses
Smh
Covering the real you just to look like the fake you
A woman nap of her neck and hair line are suppose to be on point. … we shave our legs,private, underarms….why not the hairline. Trim that crap lol
Hell no
If the waxing continues,the hair may grow back extremely thin or not grow back at all.
I’m not sacrificing my real hair for some over-hyped hair texture. F that. Evaluate your values.
Why, y’all, whyyyyyyyyy! We already know you’re wearing a wig. You’re not foolin’ anyone!
No. Won’t be doing that one.
A lace is only temporary. ….geez! Some people go too far!
No no!!
It doesn’t matter what you do. It still look a mess. Wigs and all that other garbage. Be real to yourself!
Hell no so I can’t have no hair
Hellllll no
O.o smdh…gotta love vanity
IT DOESNT LOOK SO BAD.. GO CHECK OUT NAOMI CAMPBELL HAIRLINE … GO GOOGLE…. NOW THATS NASTY
Oh Dear Lord! NO!!
I viewed the video. She’s maintaining her kitchen via waxing. No big deal. She takes off her wig and shows you. I would imagine that the waxing would hurt. I’ve been getting my eyebrows waxed since I was 22 and it still hurts!
I’ll pass.
but doesn’t that make it look more fake? ^^;;;;
Foolishness.
Because I just want to prove to everybody that this hair (weave) is really mine? Because with this strap now my weave looks authentic? I thought the nape hair was supposed to grow with the rest of my hair. Uh…it’s a no from me.
WHAT! You can stun your growth by doing that! Not good people, and it’s not THAT serious!!
Sooo.. when u take ur weave out an wear it in a pony tail..then what? Dnt worry I’ll wait
Hell no
Ok. I wouldnt have done it but She feels Beautiful so im happy for her. But why do we feel like she’s -Our Sisters- brainwashed because she wears a weave? I feel like we are constantly bashing folks for not being natural and it’s no different than being bashed for being natural. Also as history has shown us, We did not discover artificial hair wearing. Many CULTURES have been doing that for years, including contructing under garments to give the look of a rounder bottom-for example the bustle.
Hell no
That’s sad! Research the side affects!
No way!
Hell no …
Nope
HELL NO! !
Nope never. I love my curly baby hair/lining lol.
NAW. THATS GOING TO FAR. THATS SOME NEXT LEV SHIT.
Now that s going a bit far
No way…
That’s doin too much
No!. Waxing rips the hair from the hair follicle. The hair may not grow back. Maybe just trim the hairs.
Hell no!!!!!
Ouch
As a stylist I would not recommend it plus I know that would hurt like crazy!
Uhhhhhh hecka no!
Maybe a line up but not waxing. I like my short pixie cut so I’m used to the back being lined up. For whatever personal reason why she does it, it works for her, and may help someone.
Too far up the back of the neck
…but be crying when you have no edges…. 🙁
That’s too much effort for wearing fake hair
Who is coming up with these ridiculous ass ideas? Some bald headed heffa, right?
I would but too much work
Nope..I luv my beady-beads!!
Haha I must be on crack if I ever do this
Hell naw, but then again I don’t wear weaves.
Yes I would it looks better
Too much
Her shit messed up anyway she needed that wax
No, cause the grow back time is nasty!
