I’ve seen one hair stylist on tik tok do it and it’s honestly very enticing because A) weft hair is astronomically cheaper than crochet B) the hair is braided/fed in to the braid rather than knotted, which pretty much eliminates the chance of breakage caused by the knot and C) weft hair doesn’t have those little plastic pieces that the crochet hair has, which also contributes to less breakage

But my main worry is slippage, especially considering the mismatch in texture between our own hair and curly/deepwave bundles. So I’m wondering if anyone has tried this for themselves and knows how secure of a method it is. If it’s secure this might change the game for those of us who want to wear this style with minimal damage

Edit: for more information, I actually do reuse my weft/bulk hair for boho braids so that’s what makes it cheaper for me😊

Ingredients list for the products are exactly what the front packaging says, nothing hidden in the ingredients list.

The sausages are amazing and honestly taste just as good as bog standard! They’re actually how I prefer my sausage, no brown sugar, rice flour, “rusks”, maltodextrin or any of that other garbage.

These seem quite promising for people who miss these items but don’t always have the time to make them from scratch to avoid the carby fillers.

NECESSARY DISCLAIMER: I am not the author of this post/picture (via @/essenceofblackculture on IG) and just want to clarify that Roberts received a Masters of Art in History from Vtech and a PhD in American History from the University of Texas—however with both degrees he focused on the history of African American slavery in the American south. Per wikipedia his Masters dissertation examined the “Prevalence of West African Family Forms among Slaves in Virginia from 1740-1870”, and his PhD dissertation examined the “cultural construction of the Louisiana slave community from the 1790s to the 1830s, including the influence of the transatlantic, trans-Caribbean, and interstate slave trades”

Whether or not it can be called a “Ph.D. in African American history” is kind of splitting hairs imo, so just wanted to address that before anyone calls it a misleading headline. Still super scary imo.

Most of these are video screenshots because she doesn’t post many still photos. She’s also recently lost a bit of weight!

Here’s her tik tok to see her in motion: https://www.tiktok.com/@annarennsworld?\_r=1&\_t=ZT-960b4mGTmVp

Megan is everything the patriarchy hates to see in a woman. She is beauitful and she knows it, tall and embraces her height, takes up space both literally and figuratively, unapologetically embraces her sexuality, doesn’t allow men to get away with disrespecting her, doesn’t stay silent in the face of abuse, and has more talent in her left pinky toe than 95% of her male peers.

The fact that she is sexually liberated and doesn’t allow people to shame her over it seems to be the “scariest” thing about her to the patriarchy. Time and time again I have seen commentary from misogynists on social media complaining about Megan “influencing” other women to similarly embrace their sexuality. They are admittedly scared of this influence, because they know that once women feel entitled to their own bodies, their own pleasure, their own standards, and their own sense of worth, the traditional power dynamic starts to crack. Women who don’t need male validation, who won’t shrink themselves to be more palatable, and who set firm boundaries are much harder to control, dismiss, or exploit.

And the patriarchy can’t have that. Some of the things I see said about her make me deeply worry for her safety. Someone like her needs all the protection she can get, both seen and “unseen”.

I have been searching high and low for one for the past week with no luck

I’ve tried ebay, vinted, and depop because it’s typically easier to find genuine XXS there but haven’t had any luck. I thrifted one I thought would work off Vinted, it’s an EU 34 which is supposed to be like XS so slightly bigger which I can sometimes make work, but it ended up being closer to a Small so its completely unwearable for me. It doesn’t look like any brands are currently selling something like this in an XXS either but maybe I just haven’t come across one that has yet

Help!

Friendly reminder that Megan lives her rap!
