Please Help.....Need Your Eyes for a Weave or Wig Check

[Hairsnob]

Hi ladies, I need a few extra eyes from some experts (weave/wig sniffer outers especially) on something.

First off, don't stone me because I already know I'm being a hater because her hair is longer than mine. But this is a picture of my BF's ex he showed me. I want to hate on her (just to myself or to him if he ever brags on her again) and say this is a weave with her natural hair out on the top because the texture of the curls at the end look different from the hair around the part. Her hair looks more brown on the top and the bottom curls just seem....kinda not natural looking. And yes, once again, I'm a big hater but please don't judge me or say why should I care!!

I'm pretty sure he had to know if it was a weave or not if he was with her but I didn't want to look petty or insecure asking him. Most guys seem to pump up their ex's like they were Miss America so I hope you all know where I'm coming from.

What do you ladies think? All her hair? Half wig? Weave?

I'm not too good at weave/wig predicting in real life, let alone through a picture (unless it's completely obvious/a horribly installed weave). But I think this is hilarious so I can't wait to see what other people say.

I know, right. I apologized beforehand about hating but heck, that's just the way it is LOL.

Darn, you're supposed to help me hate!! I thought the obvious hair color difference would be a clue.

I know, I know. I saw that post right after I created this post and said oh boy, guess I'm one of those stereotypical people. But this is a different situation.... I'm sure most women here have seen their SO/DH's ex and said hmmmm, that's her?? From the way he talked about her I thought she was a beauty queen.

I'll indulge your hateration....

Thanks for helping feed my hate LOL.

OT: I could be wrong but I think many of us are stereotypical. The dh has called me on it few times and I'm trying to do better. He asked me, "do you like anybody." It's not that I dislike people it's just that I have a bad habit of making snide remarks about people (I only verbalize them to my dh, I don't publicly make these remarks) but I really don't mean it maliciously. So naturally, it comes across like I'm hating on everyone.

Another OT: I dated my dh, then boyfriend in high school (HS) - we're HS sweethearts. We would take space and "like other people" but the dh and I would always venture back to each other when it was all said and done. So I know for a fact all he previous chicks look like chickenheads....

Ooh, I like that HZ 7030. Putting that on the to buy list!

So you took this girl's picture without her permission and posted it on the interwebs so hundreds of women could speculate on her hair? I hope nobody ever does this to you. She really isn't aware that literally hundreds of women are weave checking her right now

 

[bride91501]

I wouldn't bet my 3 daughters or nothing, but I'm pretty sure its a weave or half wig lol.

HTH

Glad you can relate. That's what they say about women, that we can find fault in any woman our man oogles over. Beyonce is hard though LOL I know it's kind of an insecurity but I can't help it. I'll give plenty of women their props. I think LaLa is beautiful and so is Kim Kardashian but if you give me a microscope and forced me to I'll find SOMETHING wrong because we're not all perfect (forcing me to would be my BF drooling over them) lol. Oh yeah, I had to tell the BF that Kim Kim Kardashian wears a weave and spanx and Beyonce wears lacefronts and booty pads. He still doesn't believe me but what the heck. I'm just a hater

<------ running away to hide now

There is absolutely nothing identifying about this woman. I blurred out her face, jewelry and surroundings to protect her. I would never do that to anybody. Believe me, I know the rules about confidentiality so I took the time to fix it up.

I wouldn't bet my 3 daughters or nothing, but I'm pretty sure its a weave or half wig.

HTH

Thanks Girlie for helping me obsess LOL.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I honestly can't tell but SO WHAT if it's a weave! No need to hate on her. You got the man and she doesn't. Focus on making your man happy and keeping your relationship in good standing.

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

LMAO why did you make me laugh at this again?

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Pook get out of these threads

 

[SweetNic_JA]

It looks like it's a weave because of the small bumps near the part...but honestly I would be more concerned with your BF's seemingly obsession with his ex. If he talks about her as much as you imply, it may only be a matter of time before he ventures back over to her garden. Is he even worth it?

 

[pookaloo83]

I have to come over here to the dark side at times too ya know! Can't stay in ET all the time!

I must've missed that part because I like to skim. But yeah that's not cool. I've never been with a guy who talked about his ex unless I asked him and even then they didn't want to talk about it. So why is this guy showing you pics of her and talking about her? Did you ask? If not, you need to worry more about him and less about her.

 

[Bulletproof]

OMG Pook I love this one.

Good point. It could be a LOT worse things I could be worried about I guess.

It's not just him talking about this one in particular, but the way he "brags" about all of his exes. My ex BF did the same thing too. And believe me, it's not all about looks because if it was he'd still be with her. All I wanted was to be prepared for the next time he mentions something.

 

[Lita]

Sometimes men do that to get a reaction from you...If its her hair or not..It looks ok!

OP: You have pretty hair...So don't worry about it...






Happy Hair Growing!

Prepared to do what?! Clown her? This thread is too funny.

Next time he brings up her hair casually ask if it was real *kanye shrug*

 

[ConstantlyDynamic]

I don't think it's real. something is off but then again he probably felt her hair when he was with her so he would know if she had tracks or not right? you have pretty hair anyway doesn't matter

This picture, along with plenty of other family/friends pics on his PC as we were going through his files and he said who she was. I'm very open about certain things and there was another time we were cleaning out his closet and he showed me his other pictures and he'd tell me who they were when I asked. He had a life before he met me just like I had one before him. Although I don't show him pics of my exes because men can't handle that as well and they don't even like to picture you being with another man even though they know you have. Not that I would hide them either but I'm at his place more than he's at mine so it's not a problem.

To all: Please don't let this thread turn another way, as it seems to be doing. Otherwise I would have posted in the Relationship Forum. My relationship is fine, I just think too much sometimes and I only wanted to know if others could tell what it was. Thinking too much is NOT a good thing but that's just me. It was already agreed that I was a hater several times.

Yeah, definitely they like to get a reaction and I fall right into their trap too LOL. Thanks for the compliment!!

Why is it that when people come on asking if celebs hair is real or weave we don't get a reaction like this?? But I ask about her hair and it's a different reaction??

Next time he brings up her hair casually ask if it was real *kanye shrug*

Thanks, I guess I could have done that but as they seem to put them on pedestals he probably would have said real. I just thought I would know right away. I honestly thought it was real right away so I didn't think to ask.

I don't think it's real. something is off but then again he probably felt her hair when he was with her so he would know if she had tracks or not right? you have pretty hair anyway doesn't matter

I know right. If it is a weave/wig it's a really good one. But he would definitely know if it was real or not but the question is, would he tell me it was real. He knows I can spot them so he probably would have actually told the truth if I asked him. But I was a little unprepared when I couldn't spot it right off this time so I didn't ask.

OP, I think that right there should tell you that if you don't want people analyzing your life, keep it off the forum. I think you would have got more un-distracted/objective responses if you'd just posted the pic and asked if people thought that was a weave or not. Why you were asking was really not important in getting you the answer to your question. I know you probably thought this would turn into a warm, sisterly support-in-hating thread, but because of the details of your post, folks found more interesting things to focus on.

Next time just post the pic and ask if it's a weave and just say you were shown the pic and were hating for some reason (a reason we don't really need to know) and wondered what others thought. Then you'd keep the thread on that topic and get honest responses that answered your main question.

This is very good advice. Keep it simple!! I wish I would have done that in the first place. Thank you!!
