WEAVES DONT COMB THEMSELVES

  

weaves are extensions ladies put in their hair to give the extra 
fabulous effect. prices of weaves vary, from affordable prices to insanely high prices.
  some ladies believe that since their weaves cost them a fortune, therefore the weave should  comb it self. which is ridiculous, if your natural hair does not comb it self why should you feel your 
weave wont tangle or look untidy if not combed regularly.
  I remember some time back my mum and I were travelling back from Lagos to Abuja and our flight was delayed. I sat down looking for a distraction to keep me busy. when i spotted this lady who was seriously on point, her outfit and shoes were to die for. I became her personal paparazzi photographing her in my mind, trying to archive her outfit, in my memory so i could copy it sometime later.
 Because i was so fascinated and focused on her outfit, i forgot to look at her from her neck upwards, when i beheld the birds nest on her head. i was so shocked, her weave was a ''huge hot mess'' she definitely had not brushed it since the day she installed the weave.
  please ladies '' looking good, is good business'' it's all about the packaging. you can't be slaying from your neck downwards and looking like a homeless person from your neck upwards.
