this may be worse for the black community than pay day loans.

12810228, Not surprising. Atlanta has shown me how serious weave culture is.

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...
12810244, they need this in ATL.

Professional weave snatcher is a hell of a job title

why not weaves?
12810843, I SO wanted this to be fake......
Posted by Selassie I God, Wed May-20-15 07:15 PM
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


My people, my people...
12810856, Didn't we just say we wanted more BLACK youth to be entreprenuers?

This is the PERFECT example of entrepreneurship
Someone say a need/niche in the market and is capitalizing off of it

Black owned too???!!!
