I am an African American, and I wear my hair natural most of the time, not straightened. Other times I like to put in protective styles like braids or weaves. I prefer to choose textures that match my own. People can do wtf they want, but IMO it looks silly when a nappy head person like me wears European silky straight textures. Even super shiny synthetic hair looks ridiculous. There are ones that have less luster that looks realistic. I just want to know the thought process behind it other than it being "because they can." The whole point in wearing weaves is for protection, convenience, and versatility, in the most natural way possible.. so I thought. Black women wouldn't be a laughing stock when it came to hair if they used hair that matched their own.. plain and simple. The hair jokes wouldn't even exist.
Another issue is that most Asian or Black-owned hair supply stores, which essentially cater to the black community, do not carry black hair textures. I don't have an issue with ordering online. Still, it becomes a problem when people constantly have to go out of their way because European and other looser hair textures are readily available, and kinky is not. These types of stores sell to the majority of black people with little to no black products.
