Share FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedinWhatsappTelegramEmail 1.7K [articletop] A Nigerian man on social media has exposed how hair weave resellers in Nigeria and globally are extorting black women by selling weaves for 10 times their original price. According to his breakdown, hair that is relatively cheap in countries like India is being marked up astronomically when sold in African markets, causing women to spend excessively on these products. This price inflation not only burdens consumers financially but also perpetuates a cycle of dependency on foreign beauty standards. The man’s revelations prolong the ongoing conversations about the economic and cultural implications & exploitations of African women by the hair weave industry. Many black women are realizing how they have been manipulated into believing that their natural hair is not beautiful enough, leading them to spend large sums on weaves and extensions. This industry thrives on these insecurities, reaping massive profits at the expense of black women’s wallets and self-esteem. African women are learning to appreciate their own hair to avoid being exploited and to embrace their natural beauty and heritage. By celebrating and caring for their natural hair, they can break free from the financial and psychological pressures imposed by the global hair weave market. Embracing natural hair is not just a personal choice but a powerful statement against the commodification of beauty.
