This is a good topic because I often see women do a weave along with their natural hair - as in some parts is theirs and some parts is the weave, so my question is: is it all sewn in? Do they still use glue nowadays? LOL, don't think I'm crazy. I'm just not in the mix the way I used to be! After all my years of dyeing, rinsing, cutting, braiding, etc., I't's been simply nothing but relaxers & Wash & Sets. I'm boring!
Ooooohhhh, I've always wanted to try a lacefront wig. They look amazing and you can barely tell that it's not yours. I've seen some of the ones Beyonce wears and they're kinda tight, lol.
That's so wonderful that you have that man. Lord have mercy I love me some Black men....
lol. your too cute. i get a full sew in or a partial that leaves hair out. now keep in mind beyonce's lace fronts cost about 1000, the one u find in the china man's shop is like 100.
some ladies still do the glue.click to expand

There's something I have to address to some of the women in here who have worn weaves and what not or who are considering going nautral. Well, it's more like a question only because it's had more of an impact on me than I guess I'd really like.
I went natural a long time ago, and by that I mean about 6 years ago before going natural became more accepted and almost trendy. I did it because my hair started to fall out from over processing, chemical burns from relaxers, and what not. I was like a sophomore or junior in high school, and I went to a predominantly black high school. When I stopped straightening, using chemicals, ect I noticed an immediate stigma. I got teased and ridiculed a lot because I didn't style my hair anymore like the girls in my school. Even my own mother would get on me about it even though I tried to make her understand why I chose to stop putting chemicals in my hair. Needless to say, it made me extremely self-concious, and since I already had high levels of anxiety, my hair made me really sad. So over the years, I've watched how natural hair has suddenly become something that nearly every black woman is striving for. And I hate to say, I have a little animosity. I love my hair curly, but I hate that even now, I still feel self-conscious because I was getting shitted on for a couple of years because I chose to stop straightening my hair. It almost makes me feel like, "Why do you get to enjoy your hair when you wouldn't let me enjoy mine?"
Most of the ridicule I got was from other black women.
So I suppose I want to ask have any of you dealt with this before. And I suppose the statement I want to make is that if you ever do decide to go natural, don't be ashamed and don't half-ass it. Your hair will love you for it.

@candeh,
i actually get more shyt from some black men for wearing a weave. both my sisters have dreadlocks. if i want straight hair, i will put a straight weave in. when i want curly and kinky, i go with my natural hair.
i do see alot my girls going to natural route and getting flack from black women. its ridiculous. we were blessed with versatile hair...
im going to do a mohawk foy my bday...ala ANTM Marvene...

@candeh,

I did that before (several years ago), and it was cool and the breeze! Not a look that I would want for everyday, but for a hot minute it's all good!
One year, I wanted to go to a Halloween party as Nobe (Jada Pinkett's role in the "Matrix") but I chickened out in wearing the liquid, skin tight pants! I had my little nobbies all "ret to go!" LOL! Maybe I'll do it, if I work out enough this year! DO THE MOHAWK!!!!
I'm fortunate, because my hair grows really fast, so I chop that shiznit off all the time! One of my cousins and close girlfriends are hairstylist, so I've had ALL kind of crazy style s; especially when they wanted me to be in hair shows for them. They knew I wouldn't be pissed off when they hacked off my hair. My thing was, I'll look a little crazy (if it's a bad cut) for about 3-4 weeks, then it would be grown in enough to do sumthin' else. I'm not all over hair...don't get me wrong, I don't want to be bald, but I'm fortunate in that I don't have to worry about it!click to expand

It was cool DMV, but I'm older now, so I don't really do it anymore. Plus, my cousin doesn't do hair anymore, and I moved from that state where my hairstylist friend lives, so right now, I gotta do my own hair which is a giant PITA! But, I had fun doing the hair shows and stuff when I was in college and stuff. Oy, I could tell you about this one time I died my own hair (first AND last time)...I looked like Sisqo from Dru Hill when his hair was blond (it was so scary, and the story is too long to tell). Anywhoo, at that time, my hair was probably about bra strap length...I had to get it all chopped off since I f@cked up my hair! LMAO! Nevah' did I make THAT mistake again. I'll do my own Sebastian rinses (aka cellophanes), but NO PERMANENT COLOR unless it's professionally done!
Posted by USCTaurusGal
Paul Sebastians it's a colored rinse/cellophane, that is not permanent, so you can't mess up your hair. It lasts for about 4-6 weeks. It's one of the best on the market, but it's not inexpensive, but WELL worth the price. When I am going the inexpensive route, I'll use the Jazzing too, it's not too bad for a rinse/cellophane.

I can't take it! You are funny as hell. LMAO @ looking like Sisqo from DH. Man, I think we've all had one of those bad hair phases...
Question: I've often heard about cellophanes but never tried one. I'm looking for a rinse (preferably with no ammonia, peroxide) but that's still strong enough to show color without having to do it 10 times. My hair is dark brown right now, but I want to do a honey blonde.
I have tried:
Jazzing
Adore (which has no ammonia, peroxide or alcohol, but not potent enough)
Any ideas guys? I will NEVA use a dye EVA again. The last time I did, it ate all of my hair from my temples and my nape!click to expand

Uh no it's not. If AA women bleach their skin it means they desire to be white which they will never be. So yes THEY SHOULD BE SHOT or maybe they should just jump off of a bridge. Comprende?click to expand

Okay, so maybe you aren't joking? But saying that someone should be shot or commit suicide because of a personal complex that is probably a result of some societal pressure is extreme. That person needs therapy... not a death sentence.click to expand
