I am a self proclaimed (unlicensed) Weave-ologist!
I have over 15 years of experience of styling, weaving, and relaxing my own hair as well as many friends, family, and clients. With that being said, I have struggled with caring for my own hair because it did not act like the silky remy virgin weave I have grown accustom to wearing. It seem to never grow, never-ending split ends, breakage, and shredding glore.
In my opinion I had BAD HAIR. Since my natural hair is very course in texure, often dry, sandy browish color; I have found it quite frustrating to deal with at times. Through my journey I have discovered that I didn't have bad hair at all. I had Bad Habits ( Hence the title). For many of us ladies, hair is probably one the most important aspects of our appearace. In my opinion, no other community have been hit hardest, than the african- american community.
However, there is been no greater time to care for our hair. The hair business has evolved and weaves are no longer the only options. There are Half- Wigs ( my favorite), Full Wigs, Closure pieces, Braided styles, Ethnic hair products, etc. all easily accessible and affordable. We still have to remeber that underneath that fly hair style our hair is still there and needs some love too!
