The privileges of hair & weaves!? lol.... #17
I kinda didn't wanna get to personal, I wanted to keep this one fun. Beside I think you guys all know I'm a black woman. loll But I think one privilege I have that I often dont think about is my hair/weaves. I am most happy when I'm doing my hair, or getting my hair "did" But I often times take for granted that their are others who may be without hair all together and they cant afford the luxury of a hair weaves. So here it goes: 1. I am able to afford hair weaves as well a the application of these hair weaves. 2.I can feel feminate and attractive. 3.Its a self esteem booster. (I receive many compliments on my hair) 4.It make me a more interesting person. 5.People notice me more often then not. 6.I can wear as many very versatile hairstyles without totally damaging my real hair. 7.I look anyway I desire with little to no transitional periods. 8.I can become unrecognizable more then the average person. 9. I have the choice of never revealing my real hair if I don't want to. 10.People will believe its my real hair (I never lie about it though. That's kinda lame.) 11.Getting color, style, cut and length (short or long) is instant. No wait. 12.People may perceive me as more professional/attractive/smart/wealthy 13.I have a more control over how I'm perceived by others and the assumptions they may make about me based on my hair: concerning my intelligence, ability and economic status. 14. I can make my hair weaves can look extremely natural or unnatural (in a good way) 15.I can do my own hair weaves. 16. I have learned many hair weaving technics which I can use for profit. 17. I can confidently walk in public without feeling like a spectacle in a negative way. 18. Wearing the weaves are solely optional I can discontinue at any time. 19.People aren't turned off once I reveal to them I wear fake hair. 20. There is no stigma attached to me wearing weaves/wigs or hair pieces. I'm not seen as old, sickly or unattractive for reasons concerning my hair. 21. I do not have to fear having my "bald head" exposed. 22. I don't ever have to choose a signature hairstyle if I don't want to. 23. My hair can be considered artistic. 24. I can control how old or young I look. I hope you all enjoy this. I didn't expect this many privileges. lol
