When I was in school in Pennsylvania, I had this oh-so fabulous friend from Cameroun named Yvonne. This girl was always dressed to the nines...colour-coordinated outfits and all. All my other international student friends and I used to call her mother because she was very motherly. One thing about Yvonne though, she changed hairstyles like the way she changed her clothes.
Now, if you know anything at all about black hair, you would realize that it isn't so easy to do that. Well Yvonne did it. Today you would see Yvonne with a long black weave and tomorrow she would either have braids or be rocking a nice short wig. This girl was stylish. But anyways, the reason I am bringing this up in the first place...it was really funny to learn that caucasians (that means white people for some of my Ghanaian buddies who might not know what I'm talking about) really have no clue when it comes to our type of hair.
We had this caucasian friend and bless her heart but she always had us rolling on the ground with laughter when she asked Yvonne questions about her hair. Everytime she saw Yvonne with a new short hairstyle, she'd be like "oh wow, you cut your hair" and then the next week if Yvonne had on a long weave she go like "wow, your hair grew back so fast." Oh gosh she had us cracking up so bad but the funny thing is, she actually believed Yvonne's hair could grow that quickly. Of course we all played along for a while until eventually we told her how that was possible.
So anyways people, if you ever see a black girl who always and everyday has hair that matches her eye-shadow or her clothes and the length also changes, just know that it's probably extensions or a wig and not actually her hair. Lol so anyways, just thought I'd share.
