I know that any race and ethnicity can wear hair pieces and wigs but black women are making it a billion dollar a year business. I read somewhere that Beyonce and other famous black women will buy a single wig costing thousands of dollars.
Why is that? Can black women grow long hair instead of giving an illusion (sometimes an obvious illusion) that the wig gives? Why is it so important to put all of that horse hair in?
Now I realize that not all black women do it. But I have seen more than my share, whether its a wig or hair pieces or braids with fake hair added in it. Why not be happy to be nappy? What would happen if everyone just went natural, I wonder? Black women wore their kinky hair all bushy, white women stopped tanning and getting implants, asian women stopped getting eyelid surgery to look more white and mexicans just staying south of the border? what would happen?
