Yes this is my hair!!! vent

Renata there is nothing wrong with someone asking. But the woman mentioned made a facial expression that I would find rude, at least to me it was)

Asking a question is also different then someone pulling your hair to try to take the "weave" out. It's painful  since it's not a weave and even if it was a weave It would still be painful; because either way it's attached to your head one way or another.

@ Tffy passing out cards with hair forum links sound wonderful.  Whenever they ask, I'll just flip them the card.

 

@Pheonix I know where you are coming from. My hair is pretty much in some type of scrunchi, bun or claw clamp ( while in twists or braids)where my length can't show.  It seems like you have to duck and dodge every few minutes when they notice your hair.

@R2D2inoz  It's good to put a positive spin on it. But I have been chased down at the grocery store over my hair once.  I guess you can say I know what it feels like to be a celebrity.

It is very annoying. I'd rather people didn't ask. Better yet, I wish they didn't notice my hair at all and I could wear it anyway I liked. (that's another reason why I like wearing buns. No one notices it)

I'm sick of people asking me if this is my hair.

Just a few days ago,after my aerobics class this lady with her hair braided into an "up do out do"  was all up in my hair.  I usually exercise near the instructor since i plan on becoming an instructor myself, so everyone in the back can see me.  All i had was a braid out, tied back. Ol'e girl comes up to me and asks how did I get my hair like that. I didn't mind telling her but dang, why did she have to look back at your friend and make a face like ===>. After that she just said oooooooo, ok, its cute! and just stood there...I saw her a few days later without her braided updo and I'm guessing she was waiting to see if I had a weave in. Don't want to assume but the reaction tells alot

Then Monday I had my mom cornrow my hair, cause I can't do it myself.  So I went to work the next day, cornrows to the back, the last loose strands wrapped into a scrunchi.  NONE of the length was showing and this 5th grader  first asked me if the cornrows was my own hair. Then she said I had long hair, just by looking at the cornrows.

I had to stop wearing my hair in a stretched low afro- puff because some 5th grader at another school felt the need to try to "rip my fake puff off"

This is crazy! I know this mind set is common but it's just  wild that so many people feel that we have to have weave.   I just want to shout out, "PEOPLE WE CAN GROW OUR OWN HAIR".

It's getting tiring just thinking about it. I have tried to offer sites but many of those people claim they either don't have the time or they don't need it. Then don't ask me for advice if you don't want it.
