I don't know what it is wrong with the women in Dallas, but I have seen some of the wackest and most horrible weaves, falls, wigs and pieces here than I have ever seen in all my years as a black woman. There are some ruler we need to follow when wearing hair other than one own natural locks. Please read and pass the word on to any one who is breaking any of the rules listed below.
1. Try at all times to avoid synthetic hair. Make human hair a priority. If that does not fit into your budget (which you should when time permits) please note that nylon, yaki and other types of man made hair extension you need to switch the hair out frequently.
2. When wearing a wig, NEVER, I mean NEVER put the wig up into a ponytail of it is not a lace front with a nape added on. Do not take your Big T's Bazaar 29.99 fuchsia and black wig and try to maneuver the hair into a ponytail. The fact that hair does not naturally flow into a ponytail and you have to fold/bend the hair in the back should be a clear indication that something is wrong and you should stop what you are doing immediately.
3. If you do have a weave either sewn or glued in, please make sure you have enough hair to cover your tracks. Always remember to cover your tracks. This rules out the ever so trendy South Dallas style that allows you to gel all your hair down and glue your tracks on top of the helmet of hair. This is not cute no matter how many times your home girl Shamina tell you it is.
4. The only time it is acceptable to have more than one color of hair is if you have highlights that are done at a professional salon or a skunk that is tastefully done. Rainbow hair wigs are not allowed not for one minute. This also mean you can no longer match your hair to your outfit. A hot pink dress with blue polka dots should not be work with a hot pink wig with blue tips.
5. If you do opt for a full head weave, please make sure your beautician knows how to sew that last track at the top in to that we can not see the circle of hair attached to your hair. She/he should take the last track hold it in a circle and sew it in standing up so the hair comes up and away from the scalp thus hiding the tracks.
6. Last but not least, if your gran-papi was a slave you the nappy hair of a slave, do not put Italian mink or silky straight hair in your head knowing it doesn't match the texture of your own blended hair once it is pressed out. You can not have Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres's hair issues on the same head and not expect me to laugh at your when I walk in to room. It makes me think you are bi-polar or have split personalities that could not agree on a hair style.
If you think I have left anything out, please add whatever rules you think need to be added.

PLEEEEEEEEEASE!!!! tell em'GIRL!! 2 toned weaves played out with the whop! NASTY!
ReplyDeleteAnd please don't think that the bad weave thing is just a Dallas thing. When I lived in Atlanta it was the same thing. There were also the woman who had them perms that made they hair look like brillo. But I've seen some toe up weaves in LA too. especially when they have the nerve to get a colored weave and leave it in so long to where it starts to look like a birds nest....JUST TACKY AND DREADFUL!
