It's about why and how you do it. It's a difference between wearing your hair straight for the summer cause it's just a fun phase or wearing that shit everyday to the point every single person around connect that with your stripped down regular everyday look.

Also if you can honestly say it is just about experimenting and trying new things be creative, fine. But mostly it's an attempt of aligning with the current beauty standard and succumbing to the pressure of not irritating it intimidating the white man.

Changing ur skin aint equal to changing ur damn hair LOLZ

Whether it is or isn't, this is the same girl who was mocking Nicki and Bey for wearing blonde wigs and getting nose jobs, so trying to compare one to the other is waste of time.

She doesn't know if she wants to be Angela Davis or Halle Berry.

I honestly don't see the problem with weaves unless you're the kinda girl who can't be seen without one and never go out in public with your own grown hair. Then it means you rely on it to look pretty.

I think weaves are a massive massive massive problem and tbh should be in consideration to be banned. There is no point in spending fortunes on some Malay woman's hair... The only reason you'd wear it is literally for esthetic purposes, basically appeasing to Eurocentric beauty standards. It is expensive as hell and super unhealthy. It reduces women to their hair and diminishes the reputation and beauty of natural Afro-textured hair.

Im actually not a big judger of people.  I say do whatever tf u wanna do to make u feel better about u. Snip that nose,  tuck that tummy, WHATEVER! I do think that altering ur complexion is very indicative of esteem issues but if u wanna do it,  idgaf. My problem is THIS girl doing it.  This bitch was an E-activist and attacked every artist. She stood on that soap box  and held up this black power fist. I don't see how anyone could defend this hoe.  This reminds me of when monique would go on and on about "skinny bitches" and how she was so proud to be a big girl. It was nothing more than a defense mechanism and a way to deflect from her own body image issues

These are all extremes.

Women in general spend thousands in cosmetics. Beauty has a price.
A lot of women I know where weave to tie their hair up and give it a break. It also helps it grow if done right. It's not JUST for esthetic purposes.

Many women of all races and ages have wigs for convenience as well. It's not about conforming to beauty for these women.

I think the problem lies when you don't tend to or like to be seen in your OWN hair. Which is sadly the case in many black women today.
But it doesn't have to be to conform to beauty standards. Nowadays all races of women wear extensions and or wigs.

Right. Ghan was rocking Afro wigs and everything.

He's making these broad, generic and extreme statements and it's not always the case. He's speaking on one demographic of women but it's not always the case, and banning weaves/wigs is silly.
What if someone has cancer and can no longer grow their hair?
It's okay to want to feel beautiful 

The only issue is the girl who can barely pay her bills but will spends hundreds on blonde wigs and underneath has no edges and or damaged hair underneath. That's a personal issue. Hair is just an object, and it's harmless. That's like saying do away with makeup, lashes, mascara etc..
These are just beauty enhancements and should be viewed as such.

Perming is a form of self hate IMO too.
I'm sorry. It may be subconscious and girls may be doing it unknowlingly; but craving a different texture than yours says something.

Straightening from Time to time is one thing but slapping these chemicals for a silky straight "mixed" mess ain't the move.

I actually was a FB a few days ago and wants to put my two cents in this post but decided not to; this beautiful black chocolate girl was posting about getting a relaxer for the summer cuz she's tired of doing her hair. And one of her friends were like girl; no! Just DO your hair!

And she replies "I ain't got that good shit like you" or something like that and I just cringed.

It was so sad to see..

The fact that some feel "less than" in their blackness is just so saddening to me.

sometimes it's not their fault

A lot of black women were raised by black women who just took them to a Beauty shop instead of teaching them how to take care of their hair. This is generational and it's no ones fault

I applaud the girls like the one you mentioned because they actually try. It's not her fault that haircare is something totally new and apparently time consuming when all she usually does is sit in a chair for an hour a week and voila!!

This is very true. My mother has very coarse hair sddddd which shocked my family because her Mom has Japanese hair. Genetics are funny.
They slapped a perm in my moms hair at 2! 

She's just NOW learning to appreciate and take care of her hair like a black woman. For so long she was trying to get that wavy mess like her sisters 

her beautiful self

Black genes are just strong. And sometimes it can be random. Giving siblings with the same two parents different skin or hair . Side effects of genetic recombination.

My mother had dark skin and thick soft hair like my great grandmother while her sister is light as a bulb like my grandmother with coarser hair. My moms brother is exactly my complexion with thick curly hair. And he's balding now which scares the shit out of me. Bbb

It's just a toss up. Especially with African American families. Black is strong lolz so strong that it just doesn't ... Well... Crack! Lmao!!!!
