No fair, they started it!

While everyone likes to comment on Black women and their "weaves, wigs and hairpieces" can i remind you that wearing fake hair is not a trend we created? It started with the Egyptians and crossed over to many other cultures including the Greeks, Romans, Japanese and Chinese. The trend went dark for a while and was revisited and popularized by the Europeans because most people took to shaving their heads to combat the head lice epidemic.
Even in the 40's, my Grandma Sadie was making hairpieces for rich white women not rocking 'em!
Flash forward to now. Koreans have completely taken over the fake hair industry and made purchasing "a new look" not only affordable but quite accessible (there's a beauty supply within a 1 mile radius of everything in Los Angeles). And it's not only Black women who are taking advantage of it...









It's not just a "Black woman-thing"!
