Somewhere last week during a chat with a male friend of mine, a very pretty girl with simple but very beautiful braids walked pass. My friend instantly remarked that such a lady would be a very good “wifey” material. I found it very interesting that he could establish this by just her hairstyle.
I asked to know the reason for this point of view; and surprisingly I was told having braids were a sure sign of modesty.
My friend explained further that from his experience, girls who had braids, instead of the very expensive Brazilian weaves, were less likely to drain your bank account if you date them. According to my friend, after learning from past experiences, he tries as much as possible to avoid approaching girls with unnecessary long weave, long nails, artificial eyelashes and excessive make up.
I took a moment to decipher all he said, and to also analyze if there was any truth hiding somewhere. I do agree with him that braids makes one look very simple and put together but I also believe that no woman should be judged based on the type of hairstyle she decides wear.
The girl you see rocking braids today could very well be wearing bundles of 28 inches Brazilian hair at another time. There surely is more to a woman that what she puts on her head.
Before I drop things, let question the whole notion of “wifey” material. What exactly makes one a “wifey material? Is there a special tape to measure this supposed material? In my honest opinion, the main component that holds a marriage is two (2) people who must have total understanding of each other. “Wifey” material or not, if the two (2) people involved do not have this key element, it would be difficult for any marriage to survive.
I want to hear the opinions and experiences of the guys. Do you prefer girls with braids over Brazilian hair? Do you believe braids make girls more “wifey” materials? What exactly constituents a “wifey” material for you? And what do you think of girls who wear excessively long weaves?
If you are still single under those weaves, I guess this is the time to give braids a try!
These days,the ‘wild’ and ‘high timers’ gets the best marriages…I shock sef!
@maame ama very true
I prefer braids over the weaves cos as u said it makes a girl like very simple and not sophisticated. Only men have those eyes to see a Wifey material. It is kind of difficult to explain is a feeling u get and u will know whether she is a Wifey material or not
is this for real? I do both weave and braids…I must say I am having box braids now and I really love braids more than I did before…besides I just want to give my hair a break from relaxer…I used brazilian and peruvian hair…I buy it out of my own pocket…as an individual, it is quite embarrassing for me to let a guy buy hair for me, I prefer depending on myself as this is how I have been brought up…some of course have no shame…they will let a guy buy everything for them…. As an indidvual, I am always proud of myself when I do stuf for myself…as long as I know I can…guys, do not let whats a womans head miss the opportunity of missing out a great person with awesome personality….be attracted to whats inside the head and not on the head or on the body….just cos of one guys exeperience doesnt mean women with long brazilian or peruvian hair is not a wife material….
@missy, u’ve got quite a résumé up here. However you left out your referees. Can you please incorporate that and reapply? Your contacts too*winkz*
your friend will make a big mistake because the normal woman wears different hairstyles. Because you see her in braids doesn’t mean she will be wearing braids always. tomorrow it will be weave on, natural hair or anything else.
@missy, u are too much. Wish all gh ladies had this mentality some girls if not for God will ask u to buy them bras and panties . They have no shame and after they have been dumped they go and cry and say all men are evil. Keep being independent and men will respect u
