    Do whatever pleases you, weave or not because just like the good lord giveth, he can take it away anytime. heard of cancer? how about leukemia? It still gets me when someone with a bad weave judges someone with short hair then have the odesity to say its their real hair. I have long natural hair, so I don’t appreciate getting lied to about hair. . because I know the difference, hell half of people in hollywood wear weaves and perms. trust me….I know.

    Who cares about hair! That’s the problem with us today We should be free to do anything we choose to our hair, honestly, whatever it is that makes us comfortable! If you want a perm, hell, perm it… if you want a weave, get one, just get a good one.
