I have a friend that is very chocolate, she's from Africa, and I noticed lately that she is defintely bleaching her skin. Parts of her skin is like a brown color, like the cream is slowly trying to lighten her but in a bad way because she has so much acne. And her skin looks dull and kind of washed out. It's not giving her that glow
Ive never seen a really really dark person like her get light before. I'm curious as to what that wuold look like. I'm not even sure if it will look right because so far it doesn't look good at all |

I hate that term "regular black girl hair" it bothers me how every time a black girls hair is long or a different color people just automatically assume it must not be real my sister has long dark brown hair & is about gabriel unions color now when she was a bit darker then kelly rowlands as soon as summer would hit and the sun would make her hair lighter people would come up to her and ask "is your hair real?" "are you wearing weave" they would even try to put there hands through her hair just to make sure it is real. Anyway, I think the black community needs to let go of that stereo type or no one else will. |

How dark is she? Because I went from Kelly Rowland's color to a golden caramel... And maybe you should help her? But then again maybe not. She might be jealous of your results and tell the whole world that you're bleaching. So just keep it to yourself. And can you show us a picture of your definition of "very chocolate" maybe then we'll see what she's working with. And she sounds like me when I started with Movate and Hot Movate. Acne EVERYWHERE. Patches EVERYWHERE people kept on asking my mother what was wrong with my skin. Lmao. And yep. The dull washed out look. Ugh. Not good! And yeah I never really understood why so many black girls get upset about their hair. Go get a perm, a weave, slick down some baby hairs and call it a day. Until someone starts to get to touching! Lol. I don't understand why black girls don't keep their weaves realistic to their facial features. You'd be surprised at how you can fool someone if you match your texture perfectly to your facial features. Like I saw this girl with this long straight kinky weave. I SWORE it was hers. It matched her facial features PERFECTLY. But then she said it was a weave. I was like "omg" that's exactly how people are when they find out my curls are not really my curls. Lol.

That when you wear a weave you really are not supposed to see tracks. But so many of us have gotten so damn lazy that this has become the norm But when I wore my real hair black people sometimes still quetioned me, it was shoulder length. Other black women with a nice length of hair never ask me any questions, it's the ones who have hangups about hair or could never achieve a decent length of hair that hate on you and question the authenticity of your hair. I always had nice 4b hair that could blend in very well with weaves, my hair was always long and thick enough to cover up tracks etc so hair was never really a problem for me. But there are a lot of women out there who have problems making their weaves look natural etc and feel threatened by those who have nice enough hair to make it look good. And I have kinky hair, not soft hair but thick kinky hair and I never hated it. I can do what I want with it |

I don't want to out any women to prove my point. I don't like throwing women under the bus just to get my point across even if they are celebrities. But I will say this. Only 2 of these 19 women are wearing their real hair.
If they told me that it was their hair..... I would believe it! Why? 1) Her skin tone for one, the undertone of her skin, and her lips. Looks like a black girl with native American in her. 2) Her skin tone and her facial features. Looks like a black girl with relaxed hair. 3) Her skin tone, all of her facial features. Looks like a mixed woman with curly hair. 4) Her skin color, her facial features. Hair is not too thick, it doesn't have too much body, very natural. Looks like a black girl with naturally straight hair to be honest. 5) Her skin tone, her facial features, the hair is not too thick, it's not unrealistically long, looks like a black girl who knows how to take care of her hair and relaxed it. 6) Her skin tone, the undertone of her skin, the kinky texture of the curls, the poofyness of the curls, the slightly past shoulder length of the curls, her facial features, especially her thin nose. 7) Her skin tone, her nose, the body of the hair, not too thick, the length of the hair slightly past the shoulders. 8) Definitely the undertone of her skin! The length of the hair. And the brown hair color looks natural with the golden highlights. 9) The length of the hair, her skin tone, the body of the hair, not too thick. Reminds me of the random light skinned girl on the block. Lol. 10) Goes perfect with her chocolate skin tone, matches her facial features, nice length, a nice natural and THICK body to the hair, many african american women have a natural and healthy body to their hair, so even when it's pressed or permed, the kinkyness may be gone, but there is still a healthy body to it. (gotta love that, reminds me of my hair) 11) Matches her skin tone, short 12) We all know this isn't Ciara's hair. But if it was a random girl walking down the street. I'd be fooled 13) This is the hair that I wish more black girls would gravitate to when they purchase their hair weaves. This is SO BELIEVABLE (I won't say if it's real or not), even if this girl was 2 or 3 shades darker and she had more West African features, I would STILL believe it. It's a thick curl and it's a little past shoulder length. I don't know why girls are so obsessed with having it 22 inches with light browns and blonds. It's a DEAD GIVE AWAY. 14) I know this hair has highlights and it's long and super straight. But it doesn't have a lot of body to it and it really goes with her facial features. Her nose is very thin. 15) How many of you thought this was Joy Bryant's real hair? I'm only "outting" her because she outted herself on her blog. She ranted about how much she loves her weave. This hair looks so real to me. It matches her texture perfectly. And even though it's a little on the long side, the texture and color of the hair goes so good with her skin color and facial features. I was shocked when I found out she wore weave! 16) Her skin tone, facial features. Looks like a mixed girl with long hair. 17) Her skin tone. Some of Zoes features are very west african, but her golden brown skin tone and her lips go with the hair. 18) Her features, her nose especially, her golden bronze color, and the texture of the hair really go together. Not to mention her undertone. 19) The hair isn't too thick, it's on the long side. But if she told me it was hers, I wouldn't doubt it.  All women of all shades of brown can wear hair weaves land make them look believable. It bugs me when some women say "well just because she's black they assume it's a weave"... Because a lot of the times some women see Beyonce or Kelly Rowland with a certain style and they think it can work for them too! NO. NO. NO. NO. It has to match either your skin tone, or facial features, and it can't be too thick or too long. It CAN be thick and it CAN be long. But not TOO thick and TOO long. Sometimes I just wish I could grab girls and show them how much better and believable their weave would be if they matched it to their features or skin tone. Not everyone can rock certain styles. Just like some people look good in some colors, and others don't. End of story. Hope I didn't offend anyone. :) |

Of course there are some black women with extremely long hair. Not denying that at all. But that's not the everyday. And. What looks good in terms of style is all fine and dandy. A skin tight black dress might look good on beyonce but if you are 400 pounds. The same skin tight black dress is going to look hella stupid on you. |

If some black women wear weave then they wear weave the point I'm trying to make is that not ALL that have long hair have to be wearing weave.No one even pays attention to white women,latin women or asian & oriental women. Half of my chinese & filipino friends wear weave but no one would even guess that there hair is really shorter then their shoulders and they have fake clip ons in and even fake bang pieces.I see a lot of black girls here in canada with there REAL hair past their shoulders. A 400lb woman can wear anything she wants just like a underweight 90lb woman because she's big she doesn't need to hide I'm sure a 90lb woman wouldn't look stupid in a skin tight dress with her bones & ribs popping out. "All women of all shades of brown can wear hair weaves land make them look believable." - yeah so can white,latin and asian women, ever heard of Skin Weft? |

Really 1,6,13, and 16 are like from the era that I first realized that there was such a thing as weaves for women (I'd seen a thing on TV about male hair replacement weaves & rugs, plugs, grafts etc). OMG, that remids me a funny internet advert I saw the other day. <looks around>  :D Anyway, the old-school super full curly-wavy weave look is still my favorite... Diana Ross, Lisa Bonet, Jodi Watley, Taylor Dayne etc. I had one around 1989 and it was huge and so heavy when I washed it... It was like a pet that lived on my head.lol! When I went natural, I realized that my hair could do big on it's own for a day or two without getting snarly and a mess. Lately I keep it braided or smoothed back & bunned under a fake afro puff, or under a scarf or headwrap. ... I figure that my hair has drawn enough of my lifeblood, it's skin time. |

My hair is not naturally wavy or straight, it's just real curly like this
 Majority of black women of any hair texture can grow their hair as long and just as fast as asians, caucasions, indians, etc. I usually just press my hair straight and it's not 22" but around 17", close to the girls in #15, #19, or Aaliyah It's about caring for your hair differently than how we are taught. But majority of us can grow the hair very long and at the same speed as anyone else can. |
