*Note: Weaves here means “wigs, weavons and braids”.
1. Having your hair touched by random people. Without permission.

Stranger: “You look good girl! Is this all your hair?” *goes ahead to touch your hair*
2. Being able to feel your scalp.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395869/dyevc5ubsym6sqp3p3yx.jpg)
You can actually touch and feel your scalp. No weavon tracks. Your scalp is not air-deprived, you can actually feel breeze in your head.
3. Not having to do this.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472391490/de3q2kemozetngl3hu5y.gif)
No weave-patting for you.
4. You seriously loath Wash Day.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395869/dfmvnpcisflq0kulxeil.jpg)
Get ready to spend two hours making sure your hair is properly cleaned and deep conditioned and moisturized.
5. Your edges are still young and thriving.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395870/b297t4vwax0uuhu8rgxm.jpg)
Nothing is pulling them back to the past.
6. You when it’s about to rain.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395870/k5ntvheieaakwn4ufhpu.jpg)
Because you know your twist out is about to be destroyed!
7. The nastiness of a smelly weave is not your portion.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395870/zryinmj2bgbramppq5el.jpg)
Carrying your hair for two to three months? God forbid!
8. You get bad hair day sometimes.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395869/vf03xraajyu5chkb4q60.jpg)
When your hair just refuses to co-operate with you.
9. You get good hair day most times.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395869/uydldq4yjqdbcj3wedgt.jpg)
When the deep conditioning and moisturizing brings out the best in your hair.
10. You unknowingly causing trouble.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395868/wjt2sxxaqqqahjzm5ngp.jpg)
When you sit in front of people with your big hair.
11. You at night and during the day.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395869/ulhut71hhshz3ei7dpid.jpg)
When you have to put your hair in twists before you go to bed versus taking them down in the morning.
12. Being a product junkie.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472391007/rzbz1qqrqug9nzjshphb.jpg)
Water, anointing oil and all other liquids are not your enemies. When you see a new hair product, you just have to try it out.
13. Thankfully, you never have every weaveaholic’s recurring nightmare.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395792/r3iyh8fnndhy8tb0odsw.jpg)
When your extensions part ways with your scalp.
14. The actual condition known as ‘weave addiction’ isn’t something that affects you.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395870/yua8skxnttfql2hhh9pj.jpg)
Because you’re all about the
natural hair life.
15. Your bank account is bouyant. No 100k, 200k Brazillian hair for you.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472391007/n2tip11m7s2kzt11r7l8.jpg)
You account balance isn’t affected by money spent on human hair.
16. You’re all about the bonnet life.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472391490/hyez1ncedey0712rmkq2.jpg)
You gotta protect ’em curls and coils.
17. When your hair pins disappear.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395870/acjzk4ktv05nirby61nc.png)
Wherever could they have all disappeared to?
18. When you have a failed twist out.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395869/lndjwkmqid8ylbqmcuqf.jpg)
The tragedy. They weren’t ready to be released to the world yet.
19. When you perfect the twist out.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395869/x5xncroyngmuvbxahbsy.gif)
Yaaasss!!!
20. Sadly, you don’t experience the beautiful natural-botox effect of a fresh weave.
![](https://c7684bdb45.mjedge.net/wp-content/uploads/cloudinary/v1472395870/hrdudiwaaiwm00oivrmu.jpg)
The way that thing pulls at your face! No wrinkles in sight when you have a fresh weave.
21. But thankfully this horror movie is something you’ll never experience!
Or this.
Or this.
