Are black men too weak on women and this weave issue?

Nothing that you typed excuses women using protective styles all year long.

Some men are really ignorant to hair. I don't blame them because most of them haven't tried to grow their Afro longer than 7 inches- which is easy. Dreds and locs don't count. This is because a Dredding is basically tangled,matted shed hair woven into uniform, organized, neat groups of hair. The length is dead hair built upon one another, it is NOT long hair. Think of stacking Legos into a tall tower. You haven't built one single tall Lego, instead you've built a tower of Legos on top of one another. In this way a loc or a dred is not long hair per se.

African American hair is not straight like euro hair, which because it is straight does not tangle as easily or as often as Afro hair . Afro hair can be loosely curled or tightly coiled or kinky. The smaller and tighter the coils, the more likely your hair will lock together, causing tangles. If you are trying to get long hair, tangles will break and snap your hair mid shaft or at the ends, thereby impeding your progress. This happens ALL THE TIME with kinky curly hair and is why many women think they cannot grow long hair. They're hair is constantly breaking when they comb or style it.


African American hair tends to have another trait that can impede hair growth: it is usually very VERY fine. This means there is less cuticles on the hair shaft. The more chillies or stronger your cuticle is, the more resistant your hair is to breakage. Asian and some Caucasian hair have very strong cuticle layers. Afro hair can too, but often the cuticle is weaker and succumbs faster to manipulation (styling, strong wind etc) which again causes it to break and snap and stops it from getting longer. Your cuticle or whether you hair is coarse ( thick and more resistant) is genetic.

This is where "protective styling". Again I don't expect me to get this because you cut your hair off before it has any length and you're not trying to grow longer hair. Protective Styling can be braids, wearing a bun, a ponytail, and yes a weave that is done correctly, anything that stops you from manipulating your hair too much, which for Afro hair causes lots of breakage. Ask a black woman with long hair how she takes care of it and she wil say low manipulation and protective styling.

Lastly, some people have short hair growth phases, called the anagen phase. Hair has 3cycles in its lifespan. Hair grows in the anagen phase, then sheds in the next phase. girls with butt length hair have like 6 years of the anagen phase. Some black people have only two year growth phases. In this case it does not matter how well you take care of your hair, if the growth phase ( which is genetic) is short, your hair will not get past that length.


So while I agree that many people wear bad weaves, I don't think they're all bad. If they look natural it doesn't matter to me.

Will this thread ever end?

Probably not

it's already happening. i've seen it with my own eyes. there is a growing movement by black men against black women who wear weaves. it might be in its early stages, but the backlash is definitely occurring.

Ok, but are they following through? Or just talking sh#t online via social media but still dating women who wear weave? Still liking women on FB and IG who wear weave?

Peace

Good information, but I feel like "wanting long hair" is used as an excuse for "protective styling." Who says that a woman's hair has to be long for it to be attractive? Full, healthy hair is attractive. Length by itself is not necessarily attractive.

I've seen black women with long, thin hair, which is
And then I've seen black women with full, thick hair that looks great. Does it reach their shoulders? No, but it looks very healthy and very thick.

I would rather see a black woman with a short, natural hair style rather than a long sew-in extensions for "protective styling." Unlike some other dudes on Le Coli, I would take a chick with a Caesar over a chick with a head full of Malaysian weave.

@ having someone else's dead hair sewn into your scalp because your own hair is "too difficult" to grow and manage.

@Thoughts is retarded

How easy is it to understand, that Black people apart from some East Africans(Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea) have kinky hair. You don't have straight hair, your buying an "accessory" to cover up your natural kinky hair. Now when women of other races get a weave, it is an extension of their natural hair. If an Asian women get a weave, it emulates her natural hair. If a White woman get's a weave it emulates her natural hair. This should be so easy to understand but you going back to Ancient Egypt Now you comparing heels to weaves When the majority of Black women are wearing another races hair on their head, IT IS A PROBLEM. Yall make up every excuse under the sun but won't confront the truth, it's cowardly. When it's skin bleaching, you compare it to tanning. When a Black woman get's rid of her broad nose, you compare it to a White woman getting a nose job, being ignorant of the racial element. More excuses to justify self hate, it shows me how lost some of you are

Weave - check
Lighter skin - check
Slimmer nose - check

Damn NeNe

the weave stuff is a serious.

A symptom of a more serious problem in the black community.
Black women are spending billions on weaves of other races to put on their hair

Have you ever seen the descriptions these bytches put on instagram?
They put every race but black or stick it somewhere down the bottom

The self-hate is real...bytches out here rapping themselves in Irish flag when they are less than 1% Irish :eddie:

PRECISELY It'll be percentages that don't even make sense!!!

"I'm 1/37th Irish"

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Black women should stop shaving/waxing their bushes. They needs to be taking it back to the 60s/70s. Baldies are symptomatic of self hate!

I'm with that actually. Scaping is cool, but the whole bald thing is a result of porn.
