"OkayLadies: What age did you start wearing makeup? heels? weave?"
This time of the year I see a ton of prom/graduation/dance pics of middle/jr/high schoolers posted on social media and some of these lil heffas are looking fast as hell.
The parents are proud talking about "Look at my little Thotkiesha! She did that!"
Some of these girls are 13 or 14 with stilletos on, full faces of makeup and weave all down their back with either super short dresses are bare midriffs trying to look like grown ass women and their parents will wonder why the are knocked up in the next year or two.

granted girls start wearing make up early because that's just the thing...these huge weaves, I see moreso in older high school girls (I knew a few in 9th/10th grade that wore weaves but it wasn't the majority and they weren't fast).
I don't you should judge on how they look or what they are wearing. the girls at my school who got pregnant weren't dressed in tight clothes with a lot of makeup.

Makeup?? 16 years old for lip gloss lol. I didn't start wearing real makeup until I was 18 years old. Heels? Hm... I want to say 16 years old but I was a tom boy so that still very rarely happened unless it was for a school dance.
My parents are old school. I wasn't allowed to wear color nail polish until high school. I wasn't allowed to wear shorts until I was out of my parents house because I had 5 older brothers.

Putting on moms shoes (she was tiny so they actually fit me young) Lipstick and blush and nail polish playing w moms make up I did my moms nails starting age 9ish Put on moms wigs young as well
Going out the door was a different story I went to catholic school and mom wasn't having it Went to HS it was a different story and the 80s So eyeliner and make up were huge But never got into nails for some reason Learned from doing my moms the up keep is ridiculous and annoying Similar happened w makeup by the end of college Folks really react to make up And I didn't like the drastic reactions I like/liked my face as is So I'll do stuff for special occasions but that's it
But your reaction and folk like you reactios to all that is really telling how it's more about how much yall like that shit and your associations w makeup than the kids relationship to it

So I never really started to wear them.
I did wear makeup and heels at my prom because that's the tradition. I had to explain 5 times to my hairstylist on prom night that I did not want a weave. She kept insisting that it would make my hair look fuller.

I started being able to wear it out the house at 14 (had it professionally done at that age for my first military ball) but I didn't wear it with any regularity. Still don't unless I'm going out or taking instagram selfies.
I started wearing 1-2 inch heels around 11 or 12. Started wearing legit heels around 14 or 15.
Probably got my first weave sometime in my 20s. I consistently had a sew-in when I was 26/27 for about 6 months. After I got rid of it, I vowed never to weave again.
