Weave 2.0: Why I Will Never Get a Weave Again
In my mind, I've decided weaves are old school- outdated technology if you will. The tight braids, the itching, and the expense associated with getting a full weave just aren't necessary anymore. Why? Because of the half-wig. I'd be lying if I told you that I've researched the history of the half-wig- meaning, I don't know which came first. I'd assume the weave because it is essentially sewing and I think sewing has been around for a long time. So half-wigs are officially weave 2.0. Here's why:
1. Half-wigs are inexpensive. You can get a decent half-wig for $25 and it will last as long as, if not longer than, your average weave.
2. You don't need the services of a professional to wear a half-wig. Pick one up from styleillusions.com and the only tools you need are a comb and a brush.
3. It takes approximately 8 minutes and 27 seconds to fully incorporate your half-wig into your hair in the morning. Weaves take an hour or two and they still have to be groomed in the morning.
4. Half-wigs, when applied correctly, look just like a great weave!
So- better, faster, stronger- sounds like new technology to me. If you haven't tried a half-wig yet, isn't it about time?

No disrespect intended but I had to laugh @ which came first and not doing your research homework! I'm an early 60's baby and my mother had beautiful, long, flowing, half wigs way back in the day I used to sneak and try them on as a 5 and 6 yr old in the mirror wishing it was MY hair! Ask ANY older woman (over the age of 40) if they recall seeing or knowing about half wigs when they were growing up! It's not some new fad. They've been used in stage and cinematic genre's for YEARS! Same with LACE WIGS! That's where glued on hair came from. Hate those ugly things! They were meant ONLY for theatre and television---NOT actual DAY to DAY use! Ah....but my black women.........my black women...(sigh)
