The weave is still in and looking good. It's fooling folks left and right. You wouldn't believe how many compliments I have gotten on the hair( which only cost me about $9.99 for the pack ). A co-worker even asked me how long I had to sit to get my straw set LOL. Although technically, the hair is mine because I bought it, I do not fake the funk. I am quick to let everyone know that the hair is a weave that I did as a protective styling option. I'm just curious to see if I have accumulated any growth as a result of not being in it constantly. Y'all know I am itching to take it out right? Somebody stop me pleaseeeee? Do something! Say something!
