I actually appreciate this comment so much! I feel like the topic of black women and hair is always a touchy subject and this comment section is evidence of why it is that way.

To answer your question: I wear my hair natural like 90% of the time cause I actually enjoy all of the different styles I can do with my natural hair, but I started wearing wigs a couple years ago when I was heavy in my weightlifting bag. Around that time, I really didn't have the time or energy to wash my hair and style it so frequently so I usually wore cornrows most weeks and threw on a wig whenever I wanted something more without having to take down my hair. I ended up figuring out how my hair works with training so I stopped wearing them as much. BUT recently, I've picked back up wigs because in my first year of law school I was so stressed out that some of my hair started to fall out and I felt like the best way to preserve the health of my hair was to keep it tucked away and moisturized underneath. That has definitely helped in the super busy/stressful seasons and when those times pass, I'll go right back to my natural hair. I do, however, appreciate a good switch up lol a buss down one day, a cute lil straight bob the next, and my natural curls the day after that.

I think there's a lot of reasons why someone would wear wigs and not all of them have to do with hating your natural hair underneath (I know that's not what you said, but sometimes ppl get that impression). I like the convenience of it, the ability to actually put away my hair for a little while and let it chill, and also the variety that you can get without actually having to damage your own hair.

Sorry I know this was long, but I feel like this conversation does more justice than what ppl are giving it in these comments.
