It was. I used to wear regular Sassy yaki from the beauty supply, and no one knew it was not mine. When I gave up weave, people were like, “OMG! You cut your hair!”.
For me, realism is the most important attribute when it comes to wearing a weave. That doesn’t seem to matter to people anymore. That’s old school weave wearer thinking now.
Now, having expensive looking hair is more important than it looking like it’s your own.
