So the age old debate still stands... m shure u guessed it, real hair versus fake hair ... or to be politically correct "artificial, synthetic, 100%natural hair" or whatever else we call it these days.
I have had more than my fair share of weaves and braids (ofcouse, i get high on that stuff! LOL) but on the real... I don't hate my "African coarse hair" but I have a preference and mine is Nina silky smooth hair... does this make me less of a black women? well the self righteous would say hell yes.........but wait.. having what is percieved as fake hair determines what type of african woman you are? Lyk seriously?
Has the definition of being an african women become so shallow that we have resorted to external appreance as a signifier? To say that society has changed would be like saying the sky is blue, we all know it, we all see it and well some of us choose to aknowledge the beauty of the blue and see it everyday in a diffarent light while others always complain abou the clouds...
So fake hair, fake nails, fake tits, fake ass, fake abs, fake nose, hell even fake coloured skin! External appearance has always be a heavy debate.... BUT... I think fake or not, you can always distinquish a person who is fake on the inside which is what realy matters.
