Yea I understand having a hairstyle preference and we should be able to do wtf we want with our hair but to act like the styles we “prefer” isn’t rooted in European standards is ridiculous.
what's the link?I already made a thread about this
Knotless boxbraids are for fine/soft hair.I can’t wear braids, they just kinda slide off after awhile because my hair is too soft smh I wish I could have box braids
OP it seems that the self-hatred is rampant but nobody is having these conversations. I have brought up in other threads that bw need to stop buying and gluing white women's hair to their scalps and one font got angry and insisted that it wasn't white woman's hair and another font was like "oh it's Malaysian, Brazilian" hair etc. I was like WTF my point still stands! I saw this woman on The People's Court who said she had spent $650 for a damn wig. And it definitely looked like white women's hair.Yea I understand having a hairstyle preference and we should be able to do wtf we want with our hair but to act like the styles we “prefer” isn’t rooted in European standards is ridiculous.

None of these bishes are sexy so they might as well save their money. 22-inch bundles won't transform them into sexpots.
I see just as many women edgeless from wearing lacefronts though. The glue rubbed away their edges and they wear the wigs round the clock so they're hair isn't moisturized, receiving sunlight or air.I see waaaay to many people edgeless and vaulting from wearing braids. Hard pass. At least with a wig you can get one that closely resembles your hair texture and hide it behind your hairline But wigs are also way to hot.
I agree that’s why I stated wearing wigs behind your hairline. I don’t do braids or lace fronts because of the missing edges epidemic sweeping the black communityI see just as many women edgeless from wearing lacefronts though.

if I'm being honest, 85% of yall look crazy with wigs on lol. It's like a lot of folks don't know how to shape/laid their wigs, so it looks like you have a hat/helmet on.

Look at LSA's fave who has been wearing stringy blonde wigs for 25 years and has whitened her appearance but nobody talks about that. It's like the self hatred has become standard in the community. Even little black girls wear weaves and are ashamed of their real hair. It's sick.
Um my hair is thick and long and knotless braids look just fine on me. It absolutely depends on the braider. The lady I go to is excellent at making the braids FLAT.Knotless boxbraids are for fine/soft hair.
That same woman I mentioned in the other post who spent $650 on that wig also had those silly lashes on as well. It's like these women watch these Housewives and Love n Hip Hop shows and try to emulate what they see. I remember in college I had a black female neighbor who NEVER wore her real hair. She STAYED in wigs and weaves and I believe she had self hate issues as well.I totally agree with you. It is sick. And now black women are going crazy with those awful spider eye-lashes. It looks a damn mess! Like they can't hardly hold their eyes open.
They are obsessed with wig & weaves. They look like clowns in that sh!t, but walking around thinking they're looking gorgeous. The fave stays in blonde wig. And ain't got no damn melanin nowhere.
I was letting her know she can get knotless braids and they’ll work for her hair type. I wear them all the time cause they don’t slip like regular ones. Thanks.Um my hair is thick and long and knotless braids look just fine on me. It absolutely depends on the braider. The lady I go to is excellent at making the braids FLAT.
i said that before and got groaned. People with box braids that complain about wigs and weaves are weird. It is like people do not like to see natural hair out at ALL!Also, most people are wearing weave in their braids and braids literally simulate vertical, straight hair... if this is what you're trying to get at. Pre-relaxers and pre-hot combs, braiding and the stretch-method was realistically the only way to get "straight" hair...
Let's not act like these long ass box-braids, micros, etc. are all that different from a sew in psychologically or in regard to traction alopecia.
