Like when I tell folks I'm wearing a sew-in weave, they think that I actually sew the hair to my scalp..
Damn, I never got fun questions like that when i wore sew in's. I would take it and run with it.
"they sew it into your SCALP??!!!" *give them big, sad puppy eyes* "yes, the bleeding usually goes away after the first week or so" then begin to cry muttering "the pain.. the pain"
As much fun as that approach sounds like.. (and I do like the shock and torture factor in this..) I decided to eliminate the potential for stupid questions to be asked at all..

Kalika! I like that one.. We have a similar sense of humor! .
Years ago when i wore braid extensions, a coworker would ask me
"how do u get your hair like that, u get up every morning and put those
tiny braids in your hair?" And i said "yes, It's a lot of work too
doing this every morning, I have over 300 plaits in my hair can u
imagine how long that takes!" (trying to make her realize the stupidity
in her question).. And for good measure, I added -- "that's why I'm
arrive a lil late every morning to the office" lol

Thanks to Kalika I have a new answer: "Yes, they're extensions and I've sewn them right to my scalp!" (Maybe then no one will want to look at them and touch them.) Too funny!
Diva that is so true. My b/f of a few months asked so are you losing your hair. Do you have bald spots ? This is even after he saw pics of me without extensions. I have had quite a few others ask this also. Then this week a longtime guy friend came by and he said my hair looked better and I told him I now have a weave. He got this look of horror on his face and said you mean you got it sewn into your scalp? I had to convince him for 10 min that weaves are not sewn into your head that it is a braid the hair is sewn to. I was so frustrated at him I was ready for him to leave my house. Some people just dont get it!

Exactly.. and it's aggravating as HELL.. That's why I don't tell everyone.. I don't think I should HAVE to explain my hair choices to anyone! My good friends don't make me that's why they know "my secret".. (Plus it's hard not to know when your friends see you go from Halle/Fantasia short to shoulder length in a weekend!!!)
I do have one friend who's husband thought it was "funny" to out me about my weave in front of a room full of people whenever I came over to their house, until I pulled him aside and told him how rude I thought that was.. I asked him if he was willing to out all of the women wearing breat implants and folks who may have had a "little work done" on their face/body.. and oh how about the men who REALLY have small di*** but were lying to women about it.. Should we out all of them publically??? And how about his fake teeth, should I mention that to a roomful of people AT HIS HOUSE?? If we're going to out "fake" $h!t.. then's let's out EVERYONE!!! He stopped doing it that after that..
I have PLENTY of thick healthy hair and I wear extensions cause I want to KEEP my thick healthy hair, and I wear them cause it gives me OPTIONS.. Short to long... Long to short.. My hair weave whatever.. I used to avoid cutting my hair, but now If I decide to go short short I know ANYTIME I want long hair again, I can have it.. I started wearing extensions again because for two years I wore a SHORT hairstyle (think Halle Berry or Fantasia) and I was ready to grow it out, but HATED having to deal with that in-between period you have with short short hair cuts.. So bottomline is.. I wear extensions because I WANT to.. not because I have to.. BUT if I had to wear 'em?? SO WHAT IF I DID??? I'm glad to know there's options out there..
