    I think some people are addicted to back to back braids and weaves. They care more about the style than their own hair and scalp.

    How can it be called a "protective style" when so many wear wigs 364 out of 365 days of the year? What are they protecting? At which point do they actually start to enjoy their real hair? It's so boring to see so many of us walking around in the same "uniform".

      THIS! And the only time its not on is when its to show off length? Then its back to wigs and weave again. There is nothing protective about it, if your hair is still growing its out of pure luck. Our hair isnt some disability it thrives in extreme heat and humid weather conditions. It can still thrive in the winter with enough water and grease lol, there is no reason for us to hide the crown away almost all yr along

      Its because you can not moisturize your ends when they are under wig. I would recommend anyone who wears many wigs or weaves to get a professional hair stylist for the after care. Length retention comes from keeping old hair moisturized. When your hair is cornrowed, sure you will oil the scalp but there is no way to properly hydrate your hair length. As a result, when taking them down after a month, those ends are more dry and likely to break off when detangling. Mini braids under a wig, is a much much better option.

    Wigs are not and never have been a protective style. I just posted a video about how the hatred of Afro hairit is building the economy of multiple other countries and i plan on going deeper into why the protective hairstyle narrative is pushed on to us sooo much when it comes to wigs, weaves and extensions in general.
    We THINK wigs grow the hair because when the wig comes off, all the new growth is more obvious, however that same growth would have still happened even without the wigs and weave. Wigs and weave dont lead to hair retention. All those celebs you see taking of their wigs to show off their loongg hair, its not because of the wigs or weaves, its because of A. genetics and B. they have professional hairstylists that are fully AWARE of the damage this styles do, so they know how to go in to repair the hair and keep retention.
    People are more obsessed with how their hair LOOKS than how their hair FEELS and its a big issue because it leads to impatience. That same impatience is what causes people to do hairstyles back to back and it causes people to not handle their hair with care. You cant care for your hair if you are frustrated with its natural texture.
    EVERY hair texture has its weaknesses, there is no reason for us to act and think our hair texture is the weakest link. If our hair NEEDS to be hidden and NEEDS protective styling then so do other textures... and yet those textures dont need styling to GROW. They dont need wigs or weave to grow.
    This is all about mental health imo, many of us suffer from Hair Dysmorphia and its taking a looooonnngg time to heal

      Hair dysmorphia does exist at this point because once I've started really prioritizing my natural hair more over wigs, weaves, and braids and finding ways to style my hair in its natural state, I look at wigs way differently now. I still love braids but most wigs I see on people now look a mess through my eyes. Lol most of the wigs I see black women wearing look clownish in my opinion and I never used to feel that way about wigs.

    • @akaced

      @@RestingVirgoFace This is very important and also why i love styles like twists or mini braids. You still see and feel your hair everyday. You still get to wash and moisturize your hair. You get to FEEL your hair daily to know what it needs and what you are doing wrong / right. All that isnt the case when it comes to wigs, weaves and even other extensions. Protective styles that force you to look after your hair before going to bed, are the real deal.

    • @akaced
      @akaced วันที่ผ่านมา +9

      @@NamasteInYourLane I have started looking at wigs and many extensions differently too when i saw what it did to my mental health and self image. Relying on these things makes you forget your hair. You take out the braiding extensions or take off the wig and suddenly you no longer know where to start or how to do your natural hair.
      Its crazy to say, but wearing your natural hair out for a looong time, as a person that would previously only add extensions, is a form of therapy. You start to notice your personality change and it will make you wonder y? Once you realised why, you will automatically want to change that by feeling just as confident in your natural hair.
      I have stopped watching influencers who push the narrative that a "glow up" is only with wigs, weaves, long braids etc...
      It damages your mental health when you continously watch women that look like bash their hair and talk about how they only LOOK and FEEL good when they dont have their natural hair.
      I used to look at wigs etc as glam etc but nowadays i view natural hair as glam and clean. in fact, i even feel intimidated (not in a bad way, but in a positive way, dont know how to explain it) when i see another Naturalista somewhere. Lol it just gives me a warm feeling

These wigs were obviously meant to be taken off and on on a daily basis. And underneath they had healthy washed and greased plaits.

    wigs and braids are not the issue. Please let’s not put that out there. The only issues here is the fact that people are lazy to actually to take care of their hair. Wigs and braids do help with protecting the hair , especially for someone like me , with 4c hair. Always styling , touching, combing or having my hair rubbing on different materials (clothes, hats , etc ) will cause breakage for me. My hair in its natural state will cause me to have fairy knots , and unnecessary splitting ends , so my hair thrive in a straighten state BUT constantly straightening my hair will cause me more damage. This is where braiding my hair and wigs help me. I personally don’t like how braids look on me so I do wear wigs over it . I love a wig for the simple fact that I like coloured hair without altering my natural black hair colour. To me it’s a smart way of having fun with your hair without the damage. Now I keep my hair braided for 2-3 months at a time. But I wash my hair weekly , moisturizer my hair 3 times a week and cut my split ends every 3 months . My hair is very much thick , full of body, and has growth down my back, past bra strap length. My goal is to have healthy tailbone hair and personally with this routine I know I can be there quick. Before wigs were a thing, back in high school I couldn’t get my hair to past shoulder length because I always had my hands in my hair, styling and combing it every morning.
    Now personally I’m only growing my hair to prove to myself that I don’t need 3a hair , or to be mix to have long hair for a black girl, so I generally don’t care for my hair to be out for the world to see , I love taking off my wig every night and knowing I have sexy health hair privately. I’m not embarrassed or ashamed of my African 4c textured hair. I don’t think anyone should tell you what you should do to your hair and how you should wear it. Do what you feel is the best for you..but obviously be health about it. God bless.

    I was only able to bring my hair back to a healthy state by wearing a wig for months. No glue, or sewing and no leave out; just worn with a velvet wig grip band to protect my edges and keep the wig secure. This allowed me to moisturize and massage my scalp daily, shampoo weekly, and not have to manipulate my hair or use gels and hair dye. I don't really care to wear my hair out because of the maintenance required using manipulation and products which cause breakage. I find I'm waaaay more concerned about how my natural hair looks throughout the day and always "fixing" it. My natural hair seems to just be for the enjoyment of myself and my man at home, lol. 😄
