Second, you can take a stance like people do after watching "Blood Diamond" and promise to never buy from there again. However, to your comment "grow your own...sign of vanity" I have to challenge you to think...... as an african american, I use extensions in the summer to get braids. My hair doesn't grow... and the protection of my thick, sun consuming hair needs a break from daily breakage it experiences. I believe African American women wouldn't feel compeled to buy weave for their hair if the Western world wasn't so consumed with what is "beautiful" Growing up, I was consumed with images of ladies with LONG, BLOND hair and how popular they were. Short hair ladies don't get noticed by guys. Media, advetisement, models and tv, tell us that long is beautiful and if you want happiness, well then buy your hair. <br />Hence, why me going natural has been such a big accomplishment. Chris Rock did a great documentary and at the time I was ticked at Oprah for "telling our secrets" but now I realize that she did a favor to the world...... we need to step back and ask ourselves, "How can we promote beauty for everyone?" My hair is now natural and I love it. No chemicals, nothing.....and on the days that my hair is in its kinky curly state, I hear from my sister friends "You should straighten your hair" Why is straight hair beautiful?????? So....... I digress and say, people can't always grow their own hair. And they are not trying to be vain, they are just trying to live up to a standard and be accepted.Michelle Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08634063972022873513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722510478546049893.post-92030196962600747012010-04-17T16:12:30.139-06:002010-04-17T16:12:30.139-06:00I'm thinking I need to get in on this.

Plus, I can still put up a sign that says "100 percent Indian hair!"Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696967002943279522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722510478546049893.post-78016380480599269172010-04-13T12:10:06.459-06:002010-04-13T12:10:06.459-06:00I think it's ridiculous...and yes, vain. I tho...I think it's ridiculous...and yes, vain. I thought about a few extensions for my wedding and quickly denied the idea. It just wasn't me. I hope "thank you, India" is happy with her hair that came from poor exploited women...although I gather that she just doesn't care...I mean look at all the people that send her crap and she makes the comment "keep it coming"...wow. Plus she can't even DO it...so what's the point?!{B}https://www.blogger.com/profile/04423039725297048314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722510478546049893.post-27886673806256000442010-04-10T00:15:49.124-06:002010-04-10T00:15:49.124-06:00This is not good is it?

I saw the light. But would I do it again? Probably.<br /><br />Love your blog and your opinions. We do think pretty much the same!
