I'm in the Bay Area. 20 years ago my friends didn't even want to be seen with me and laughed when I ditched the creamy crack and chopped for the first time in 1992
I LOVE how the times are a-changing.
Here, I'm seeing a lot of sisters with natural-LOOKING weaves or wigs. I do give credit for those that sport the natural look at least. Heck, I got a kinky half-wig for when I wanna fill out my fro on a Saturday night.
I think a lot seems to be on the social sub-groups people are in. I see many into the superstars (youngsters mostly) seem to sport the waist length silky bone straight weave (and have the clothes and spiked heels to match). Bohemians and artsy types might sport their natural coils/curls. Professionals are mixed between TWAs and the conservative weave/wig.
Generalizations all of these, but I think you get the idea. Deepends on what area you go to out here too... but there ARE more naturals.
That said, I see lots of relaxers on my generation (late 30s, early 40s). They don't seem to be too big on the weave.
But am thrilled that more naturals are showing off what the good lord gave 'em...and that I'm no longer the one being gawked at for having a natural
