I don’t like to spend a lot of time on my hair. I’m pretty “hair dumb” for a black woman, which really sucks because I spend a lot of time and money on getting other people to make me look pretty. Not as bad as the woman in the video, though, who spends 40 hours a week and upwards to $25K a year.
An interesting stat: Black women make up 6.5% of the American population but purchase up to 40% of ALL haircare products. What a demographic!

This Journey Is My Own 
Girl, I may not be the most satisfied with my hair, but I know what a lot of black girls and women go through to have nice hair. That figure isn’t surprising to me at all. It is rather unfair, though, that trends affect the cost black women end up putting into haircare far, far more than it affects women of any other ethnicity.
Makes me wonder why black women are so “hair” crazy. I’m just inept at styling my hair.
