I noticed her photo as I was sitting in the chair taking on my own “weave-free” challenge.
As a certified member of the weave queen club, I’ve always felt that the versatility of fake hair far exceeds the time and effort it takes to take care of my own. But that’s just me.
Then again… do y’all emember the F*ck Natural Hair chick I posted last year?

While her sentiments are valid, there comes a time when it’s 105 degrees outside to just let it go.
So while I’m sure there are many other (including Beyonce), who have opted to shed the weaves & wigs because of the weather), I’m calling this Weave Free Wednesday (cause we never know how many inches of brazilian hair tomorrow may bring).
Photos…
Radio personality & former 106 & Park host Miss Free shed her weave too and returned to her curly short doo…
Cute!
And while Toya was only weave-free for a hot second, her 32 inches of that premium ultra wavy malaysian makes me wanna head back to the J-Spot to rethink my decision…
I love it!
I don’t think there’s a right or a wrong when it comes to what Black women choose… (this ain’t that kinda party) – Wigs, weaves, braids, naturals, perms, whatever… it’s all good to me!
So while other’s may say stay away for that “creamy crack” or ‘why are you rocking weave if your hair is that long?,’ I think it’s completely a matter of personal choice and convenience.
I for one, still choose weave but for today at least, I’m weave free.
Shout out to my boo Derek J – Holla at him at The J-Spot Salon for your new weave or weave free doo!
To weave or not to weave…. that is the question? *sigh*

I love it!!! Work it girl!!!

Toya’s hair is always banging!
It’s not a question at all. I am just not interested in looking like a poor imitation of a white woman. No drama.
love it!!! hyah! (kicks the creamy crack off the shelf*)
Tall better werk. Most of the chicks I know with weaves have real good length.
For those women, who are confident in there looks, there style, there thoughts, and beliefs, I will agree that it is a matter of personal choice but many times you find people trying to look like everything but themselves and are easy to fall in what society say you should. I believe thats were all the debate come in. I am natural but I do not grill my not natural friends because once they get a whole of a bad perm, some bad glue, or a chemical that messes up more than their skin..they will re-think it but until then, educate not hate. Toya has looks good either way but even better natural and so does Free.
I THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A BALANCE, I DON’T THINK THAT YOU SHOULD WEAR A WEAVE MORE THAN YOU DO YOUR OWN HAIR. KEEP IN MIND YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN HAIR IN SPITE OF ALL THE OTHER THINGS YOU DO TO IT. IF YOU WEAR A WEAVE 24/7, 365 DAYS A YEAR THEN SOMETHING IS WRONG AND YOU ARE AN INSECURE PERSON, HOWEVER IF YOU HAVE A BALANCE WITH BOTH AND REMAIN TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE THEN YOU ARE OK…HOWEVER YOU SHOULDN’T HIDE YOUR OWN BEAUTIFUL HAIR ALL THE TIME, NOW THAT IS WHAT I DON’T AGREE WITH! LOVE YOURSELF, LOVE THE HAIR GOD GAVE YOU AND TAKE CARE OF IT!
i dont think that women that weave weaves are insecure or anything like that i did my big chop in aug of’11 and i loved my decision because all that chemical was bad for my hair and i didnt have the funds to up keep with treatment , wash and set evert two weeks . i love my hair i make my own oils and take care of my hair , however i have about 6 lace wigs that i love brazilian , malaysian name it i have it and i rock them when i want , why is it that plp can express themself through what they wear but not their hair????????????????? i can be 20′ monday and a afro pic on thursday i like mixing it up , its fun so ladies its ur hair do what the f*ck u want , JUST KEEP IT HEALTHY PERMED OR NATURAL
There is used for directions and their is used when discussing people
My husband can’t stand weave, I’m happy with my natural chemical free hair but every now and then I get some tracks put in. But I have to hear his muthafu*kn mouth. Variety is the spice of life.
HE DONT WANT YOU WITH A WEAVE BECAUSE HE IS INSECURE, YOU MUST LOOK REALLY GOOD WITH A WEAVE AND HE DON’T WANT NO ONE ELSE TO NOTICE YOU OR HIT ON YOU. I BET HE IS A CHEATER OR UGLY…RUN NOW BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE, AN INSECURE MAN LIKE THAT IS A WASTE OF TIME AND ENERGY!!!
I don’t her husband is insecure for not liking a weave. Maybe he just likes running his hand through her natural hair. My husband hates it too. He says it "looks" good but if he can’t grip the back of the hair…I think I said too much! lol
*think*
Some men really dont like weaves unless its real hair. My brother got pissed when his girl put some cheap ass weave in her hair because he couldnt touch her hair ever and wouldnt do anything water related when we wear in vacation in St.Thomas. Then he kept giving her dagger eyes every time she patted her head for like 2 mins straight. He told her buy her all the wigs she wanted but that weave is driving him nuts.
Lol…at the patting of the head. That would drive me crazy. Why do weaves make you pat your head?
I never understood the patting of the head. I really do think it looks ghetto. If it itch that bad then take it out or wash it.
Wow Michelle love the hair!
Make me think of Tina Turner lyrics "Whatcho sayyyyy, hay hay hay hay hayyyy….."
I’ve been trying to stay away from the creamy crack for months now, but I most definitely have to have some tracks or twists. The weather in Miami has no mercy on a blow out.
natural for life! i enjoy a cute wig every now n then tho.
Why you all sporting weaves when your own hair is so full and long? Makes absolutely no sense and that business about the weather is ridiculous. Just wrap the hair up or pull it back on the humid days. My hair has been massacred due to over processing so I rock braids now. Poetic Justice style.
The reality with hot humid weather is that even if you straighten your hair the roots are going to either get wet from sweat or moist and the roots start to curl, so you end up with curly roots and straight ends. Not a cute look. Even with braids or twist you have to take those down at the most after 2 months otherwise they do just as much damage as a perm. IJS
THE PURPOSE OF WEARING A WEAVE IS NOT BASED ON HOW LONG YOUR REAL HAIR IS. I HAVE TO TELL THE WHITE FOLKS THIS AT MY JOB ALL THE TIME! I HAVE A HEAD FULL OF BEAUTIFUL WAVY CURLY HAIR! I ROCK WEAVES SOMETIMES BECAUSE-I HAVE A BUSY SCHEDULE, FULL TIME, WIFE, MOTHER, STUDENT AND WORKER!!! NUMBER TWO, I LOVE TO SWITCH IT UP WITH DIFFERENT STYLES AND COLORING, ONE MONTH I WANT TO BE A RED HEAD, BLONDE, BROWN OR BLACK AND I WILL NOT DO ALL THAT TO MY OWN HAIR. IT’S ABOUT VERSATILITY AND CONVENIENCE, NOT HOW MUCH HAIR I HAVE OF MY OWN. STOP BEING JUDGEMENTAL AND GET SOME UNDERSTANDING-IT’S JUST HAIR , DAMN!
I CO SIGN EVERYTHANG YOU SAID! I’M THE SAME WAY
michell’s hair looks good and healthy so does free’s but toya’s looks damanged, broken and robbed of its natural nutrients. tooo much weave to often
FREE LOOKS REALLY CUTE EITHER WAY AND YOUNGER WITH HER NATURAL HAIR! TOYA, LOOKS FUNNY AS HECK WITHOUT MAKEUP..HER NOSE IS SO UMMM…LOL CROOKED, LIKE A WITCH! LOL BUT I LOVE HER NATURAL HAIR AND HER WEAVE IS FLYER THAN A FLYING SAUCER! LOL THAT WILL BE MY NEXT DO! LOL
Weaves are very bad for your hair and so are perms. I have a steam/flat iron that nurishes your hair while it gets it bone straight. Its called a maxiglide, try it ladies.
As someone who recently chopped her shyt off after 15years of having loc’s…man it was the best decision ever! T
his summer has been 3degrees short of hell all the way around and I am LOVING the freedom of not being hot! lol!
The hair is growing but a weave isn’t for me. Congrats to all the ladies out there that can acutally rock that much weight on their heads in the heat…I can’t. I’m wetting my hair every chance I get.
But seriously…where does that Buckey chic get her shyt done? I mean you making $$ now…go see Derek!
…Just make sure that when you’re going natural and taking a weave break, make sure you’re getting a deep conditioner and cutting those split ends. I can’t stand seeing beautiful natural hair and split ends. Just because it grew under the weave and a person has longer length don’t mean nothing if those ends are scraggly.
A lot of natural sista’s tend not to cut the hair b/c it grew, they want to keep the length but don’t realize by cutting off a snippet..you gain a lot more later.
Everyone’s natural hair looks great
I didn’t know that the J Spot did natural hair. Great
Its a sad day when wearing the natural hair that grows out of your head needs to be celebrated as if its a groundbreaking event. Shouldn’t this be the norm?
