the ROOSTER lady

I just went to lunch. And I want other Black Women's opinion.

There was this girl, at the register. I want, in no way, to keep somebody from their individuality. But this girl had the fakest looking, BRIGHT RED weave in her head.

Now when I say red, I mean it was like a flourescent, BRIGHT red, that looked so ghetto, that even SHE should have looked at it, and changed it.

i cant say it was pretty,, it was just BRIGHT red. It was almost embarrrassing, because you could sense that white folks were making comments about it.

What yall think about the wild braids and colors. What about the blond weaves and wigs?

I think girls who express themselves through their hair is cool because I can't even seem to take down my dam bun.    I do know what your saying however,  when it's to over the top it's just not real cool.

Hold on,,, I LIKE buns!!!


And homegirl was waaaaaaaaay over the top. I know we werent anywhere but Wendy's,, but she shoulda checked that shyt.

Maybe that was Wendy

I know exactly what you're talking about.  I was just commenting on this girl with purple and orange extension braids.  I couldn't stop looking at it.  Maybe they like attention, but just don't know how to go about it.

And the worst part is that she was wearing completely different colors.

You got to coordinate!

I've always worn my hair it's natural color which is black... I did experiment 1 time with some light brown streaks. I dont think there is anything wrong with blonde...

Though I am not big on red, orange, purple or blue hair, I think if you wanna rock it...then rock it... However I do feel there is a time an a place for everything. If you get some purple weave put in your hair to match your purple outfit for da club on  Saturday night that's cool, but dont rock your purple weave to the office (work ) on Monday.... 

Hey Q,

I love the versatility of wigs, weaves and even colors as long as they are appropriately worn. 

I think the bottom line is all about tact & taste -
Not everything is for  everyone,  or to be worn everywhere. 

My opinion is that certain colors are meant exclusively for the club or home use.  You can tell by the hue.

I have a few  pieces that I dont dare let move past the threshold to my doorway 

But they work for the purposes intended........ 
. 

Others can be worn daily to places like work, church, my daughter's school and people respond to them favorably.  I like to switch it up but still wear them frequently enough to pass them off as my own  hair.  I'm not bald.....Im just short of patience on styling my own hair.

Don't think  poor choices are limited to just women either.....remember Sisquo from  Dru Hill....... 

I think if there's ever any question about a wig or hairstyle...thats when our family and friends need to step in PRONTO !



 

Thats just it,,,,, her family prolly thought it was cool!! You know SOMEBODY in her family saw it, and obviously they aint say nothing to homegirl. Shoot Plum, you never know--somebody in her FAMILY may have put the **** IN her hair!!!!


As far as Sisquo,, I always considered him a woman anyways.

Q, you got a point......most often times the apple dont fall far from the tree. 

Sisquo was clearly a man of a " special breed " 

Not too many brothers would take their hair to that extreme. 

I did love his jam " the thong song "  

In my opinion I think that it is mean to judge a person based on their physical appearance whether they can control it or not...Just like I would not like anyone to judge me based on my weight I would not want anyone judging me based on the color of my hair or what I wear...I work in a corporate environment and would not do it myself but hey if she has the guts to do it, then more power to her...To each its own...Maybe it was embarrassing for you but obviously it was not embarrassing to her.
