Very random but No more by Genevieve Nnaji is such a vibe 🎵. After 30mins of aggressive search, I found it on boom play & I need someone to sample it like yesterday. I wanna hear it everywhere again.
Topicals in Lagos ??? , you people should just say your social media manager wanted to do Detty December in Lagos for free. cos it don’t make lick of sense 🙃🙃
Ok ok let me say this before i sleep because y’all keep asking me to say my thoughts.
In all honesty, I hate everything about wigs. It’s distorted the image of what a black woman looks like. These companies purposefully target young black girls who can’t afford it but will still spend all their money to get it because it’s the desired look for black women. But in essence it covers the beauty of our hair. We end up building terrible relationships with our hair because we’re made to feel like our natural hair is not nice (and it made me HATE everything about doing my hair). Nothing is enjoyable about wearing a wig (TO ME). From glueing it on to maintain it, it’s uncomfortable asf.
These brands feed off of our insecurities and they’re the same ones that will mock us for our features. Other ethnic backgrounds thrive off of black beauty which pisses me off too. To add, which can stem a separate conversation, we’re still seen as a mockery from beauty brands who disrespect us and do not cater to us properly. Jackie Aina (& now Golloria) have literally been showing us for ages.
Anyway back to the premise, we already know that the beauty standard is very euro centric but what we are doing is masking ourselves in order to fit that through wigs.
We don’t have a lot of representation for the young black girls too, which bothers me because they’re forced into the idea of them wanting wigs or to just look a certain way early because it’s what looks nice and appealing to society.
The relationship I now have with my hair ever since I stopped wearing wigs improved drastically because I was (& still am) experimenting on what compliments me well with how I do my hair. The only protective style i wear is braids (and on occasion micro wefts that are the same texture as my natural hair) but now i loveee my natural hair and can’t wait to relay this love to my future daughter.
Everyone has a choice to do whatever it is they want with their hair and money. I just will not spend my money on that ever again. I’ll even wear braids on my wedding day loool😂
Anyway i could share other points and all but this is all i’d like to say for now
