    I'm not ashamed of my hair. My hair is naturally wavy, so I relax it so I won't cry every time I comb through it. Not all of us would rather walk around with damaged hair. I really think it depends on the person's beautician. I will admit that some are out for the money and couldn't care less about over-processing their client's hair. For example, I used to go to one who would recommend that I get a relaxer every three weeks, which is ridiculous. Of course, she told me this because relaxers usually cost more than a shampoo. I think this is what happens with most women, and that's why their relaxers look so bad. Then, they are not taught how to care for their hair after they leave the shop. The person I go to now is wonderful, and my hair is at its healthiest - even with the relaxer. As far as the weaves and ponytails, I agree with you - especially if the colors and grade of hair doesn't match. You can't wear a silky-straight ponytail if your own hair looks like taco meat.
