(Hi Dave, I'm wearing braids again lately. This is so embarassing but I let a cousin convince me to get a curly perm two years ago which turned out to be a disaster, my hair is too fine for such harsh chemicals.)

Not too pass judgement on anyone but I guess I'm old school. I like weaves for fun or a special occasion when you want to do a fancy hairstyle, but not for everyday. It's too hard and too expensive to try and keep it up, especially if you want it too look good. And how do you explain to your non-african american boyfriend when he is trying to run his fingers through your beautiful hair and he comes upon a track! It's a situation like this where I think it's just easier to date black men, and also when you tell them you're going to the shop to get your hair pressed they know what you are talking about :)!
