What started as a minor personal revulsion for weave as a result of most Black women increasingly seeking for beauty refuge under the hair of others has become a daily headache for me, as I cannot escape the glorification of weaves anywhere on this planet…
I acknowledge the sense of security, self-esteem and the deluded concept of beauty derived by almost all Black women from wearing throw-away or sold out hair of other people—-as if those who are cutting their hair are stupid not to know their hair is the definition of beauty. That is, if it really has such a character!
From floor sweeping weaves to the short cut ones, men are forced to complement Black women for snubbing their own unique hair to wear the lost hair of others. And the way some Black women present themselves by “exalting” their fake hair makes you wonder what would happen to their existence if all of a sudden those cutting their hair for them stop doing so.
Of course that will not happen because some Black women would self imprison themselves behind doors—as their pride and beauty would have been completely eroded. And we don’t want to see an era of self-degeneration of Black women.
