Time after time, the Nat-life Gurus go on a witch hunt in search of the next thing to shame people about. (You know it’s true, last year it was hair color).
So now the proverbial “Big Bad Wolf” is Weave!
Are there valid concerns as to the overall health of wearing a weave?
Absolutely. As I have always expressed an improperly installed weave can be devastating to your growth journey or scalp health.
Are there some people who lose themselves in Euro-centric standards of beauty?
Every day.
But, here are the benefits of a properly installed “Weave”
1. The ability to play with texture and color without causing any permanent change to your own hair. Versatility is a wonderful thing.
2. The remedy for hand in hair syndrome. You can get your flatiron fix on the fake hair and not wake up bald. This is especially true when none of your hair is out along the edges.
3. If cared for property hair inside of a weave can retain consistent moisture, which aides in growth and health. Moisture and protection from harsh conditions (extreme heat and cold) are part of a complete balanced hair routine.
You were able to see in a previous journey gallery that fake hair doesn’t have to be harmful nor does it have to play into any stereotypes and can actually ease you into embracing your own hair along the way.
Don’t let the internet bullies define your style. If your hair is protected, that’s a Protective Style.
