"Who spends more on Weave, Black women or White women?

For years women have searched to find new levels of beauty. From make-up to surgical additions or reductions to of course fake hair. It's a given fact that the hair industry records over 9.7 billion dollars a year (to me a ridiculous number). With a number that high, its safe to say women all over America, black and white, are coming out out their purses for a new look. But the real question is, how much does one woman spend on weave a month or even a week; and better yet which race of women spends more?

When thought of, weave is primarily associated with the African-American woman of the world. In many cases this is true. However, you do have the naive people who say that ONLY black women where weave. We all truly know that isn't true. The reasons for black women wearing weave varies from hair problems, to perms gone bad, to just simply their hair grows slow. Whatever the reason, many pay whatever the cost to make their hair look better.

For those Americans who believe only black women wear weave, I'm sorry to say your sadly mistaken. Look at women all over Hollywood and other high end areas such as California, New Jersey, Florida and many more. White women all over spend money on weave, but just call it a different name, 'hair extensions.' White women are known for having natural long flowing hair that seldom needs mass amounts of work. For example: where a black woman has to get a perm to straighten her hair, most white women can just whip out their straighteners and make it happen. Also, black women have a certain (if you will) height to their hair, somewhat of a natural puffiness. Where some white women must use items such as the "Bumpit," to get that needed lift.

Give or take, both race of women have their pluses and minuses. But when those minuses begin to out weigh those pluses, its time for the alternative that has been used for over 50 years, Weave. But when is weave too much? Some women spend over $300 for a single hair piece, where as some spend as low as $30.

So my question goes out to all the races of women in the world, who do you think spends more and why? And if you are someone who invests in the product, how much have you paid and what are you willing to pay for top of the line brands?
