My hair is almost always the topic of conversation. Even when I try to change the subject, it somehow goes back to who does my hair or what color my hair is. Here are seven things girls who wear weaves are tired of hearing:

1. "So... is that your real hear?"

I've heard this one way too many times and surprisingly, I haven't come up with a witty answer to give people. No, this hair did not grow from my scalp, but thank you for being so observant, I guess.

2. "Do you wash it?"

No, I don't. I just let it stink, you know? I have no personal hygiene.

3. "Can I touch your hair?"

I would prefer you not. Asking to touch someone's hair is like asking to pet a service dog when out in public -- you just don't do it.

4. "So how long is your real hair?"

If I knew, don't you think I'd tell you? Actually, no. No I wouldn't because why does it matter in the first place?

5. "So how long does it take to do that?"

Hair extensions or weave or whatever phrase you prefer can take anywhere from 30 minutes to six hours. It all depends on what you're getting and how long you want it to be.

6. "So, could I wear hair extensions?"

Well, last time I checked, it is a free country, so yes you could, if you really wanted to. Women of all races can wear some sort of hair extensions. Some look better than others but it's all about what works for you.

7. "How much did it cost?"

Needless to say, this is probably one of the rudest things you could ever ask a person who wears a weave. I don't ask you how much you (or your parents) paid for your car or your fancy new iPhone, so why would you ask me how much I paid to get my hair done? It's none of your business and you're being really inconsiderate to me.

There are some things that are just better left unsaid. If you like my weave, a simple compliment will do.
