As I may have mentioned in an earlier blog, I am currently sporting a bald haircut that hides the fact that I have been going bald from the age of 28. I quite like this hair style, and have no qualms with brothers (or sisters) who sport something similar due, like myself, to hair follicles dying, or for some other fashionable reasons. But could someone please explain to me why a number of, sane, intelligent, beautiful, mainly Black women feel the need to wear a hair weave? Now, if like myself, they have a scalp problem, then I would completely understand, but the majority of these women, have a good strong healthy head of hair. At work, I asked a colleague of mine this same question. Her response(s) were thus: ' Some women are tired of having to spend hours styling their hair, and a weave allows them to 'pat & go'. Some have been doing it for so long that their hair line starts on their neck back, so they don't have a choice (stand up Venus & Serena Williams!) We are all coloured with the same brush, the amount of times I have women coming up to me, admiring my weave, when I DON"T have one'.
Now trust me when I say that if I can spot a weave, it must be bad. Now, from my research, these weaves can cost up to 60 GBP. Why not get your own God-given hair styled. I have also seen women lift them up to scratch their heads! The thing is Black hair can be styled in numerous hair styles, from the natural look, Locks, relaxed, to name just a few. Soon the amount of women fighting me for the last shaving gel on the counter will explode, driving the price up, leading me to use soap & water. So for my sake (& my bank balance) let it grow :)

I say let the baby have its bottle. I'm not into weaves they look horrible but some women would argue it makes their hair managable, fills them with confidence and enhances their looks.
As men who are we to argue.
