What was the reason black women started wearing wigs/weave?

[Originalman]

One more thing. Kats shouldn't even be tripping on them wigs and weaves.

If anything kats need to be figuring out how to make some money off these wigs and weaves. Cause women spending hella loot on this stuff.

There's enough natural haired women to keep you occupied. Your preferences are abundant these days - you don't have to concern yourself with lashes, makeup, & hair...

Question - Do you admire female celebrities, IG chics, etc? If so, loads of them have facial/body enhancements, glam squads, photo touch-ups, etc.

PS - My hair is 100% natural.

It's so many with fake eye lashes out here tho lady libra


I agree a lot of sistas have natural hair and the ones with weave few and far between

I think for some it's hard to tell natural from weave

To be honest, it’s become more popular to wear kinky weaves. Black women been wearing braids, but wigs and weaves became more popular I’d say in the 90s and 2000s. It’s not even a thing anymore.

Natural >> hair helmets

But I do understand the issue of trying to get a job and it deemed not proffessional. That is a real thing.

But if ur job allows u to wear locs or natural hair & u still wear weaves? There’s no excuse

Only certain type of hair textures are acceptable. I worked with a Senegalese girl in a lab (college days) and they made her feel uncomfortable about it. Her hair was on the coily kinky side, but I didn’t get the same backlash because I have curly hair. Even “natural” hair products are marketed towards making hair less kinky and it’s sad cause they were the ones who started the whole movement!

Intricate hair braiding is a bigger market I feel though. Some cultures even put jewels up in them.

Have you ever had to sit and wait for a woman to do a wash a go?

Sit and wait?

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Sit and wait?

If she’s getting ready, then yeah, you have to sit and wait, and that’s BEFORE the makeup.

Yeah wearing weaves started to get big in the 90s. But even then often times it was a pony tail extension. Now braids extensions are from the 70s and sistas been wearing wigs since the early 1900s.

Then the pony tail wig went to the glue extensions and sew ins. I grew up around all this stuff cause I had female cousins who rocked weave and did other folks weaves. Plus my sista wore weaves sometimes.

Then of course dating sistas and marrying a sista. shyt I done took down plenty of sew ins. Been there when my wife transitioned from perming to natural and I use to detangle and wash her hair (when she became nature) and did my daughters hair (who are natural).

I actually learned more about black womens hair as I got older and dated. Because one my sister never had a perm, my mother never permed her hair and two my mother has very straight hair. So she (along with my sister) could do things to their hair other sisters who had very kinky hair couldn't.

It really is and often times the african sistas have it on lock. Sista I use to take my niece to out here in dallas. Got a entire school. The african sista brings some american black folks and african black folks in. Trains them quicky and next thing you know they got jobs.

Its a brotha and sista that brings her weave that they cop from china (they were flying out there and somehow bringing it back). So she getting it at a low rate.

African sista got that shop and school humming like a Lamborghini.

Tell me about it, I used to braid on the side. My brother used to beg me to do his braids. I taught myself though, and I don’t do em too tight like the west African sistas to the point where it’s a tension headache. And it’s different styles of braids too. It’s a whole art.

Sista real talk my braiding skills suck. Been meaing to sign up for a class to learn how to braid like yall sistas.

I got girls (especially a little one who is only 5) so I be wanting to do the littles one hair myself without any help. With the youngest I always take down her braids, detangle her hair, wash her hair and then my wife braids her hair.

Just the engineer in me....in wanting to learn the entire process and do it efficiently.
