And the lengths people will go to to maintain that look.

But back in the day in my hometown, when openly admitting you wore a weave was still taboo, there was a store with these off the wall commercials and I think they would finance your weave with a down payment. I remember my mom going on about how a co-worker did it. Now that I think about it, that's a pretty sweet hustle. I wonder what kind of interest they're charging...

Streets won't let me chill.

SO many issues here;

1)Not being able to see your natural self as being beautiful

2)Desire for instant gratification instead of just patiently growing one's own hair

3)Willingness to go into DEBT for vanity's sake
