I think that the problem is, black women are the group that is stigmatized for wearing extensions. WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES. Europeans have been wearing wigs for centuries. Why do we always have to make extensions and weaves a “black” issue?

There is a good and bad side to this story. The good side is that buying these human hair extensions is enabling these poor people to feed their families. The bad thing is that if we stop buying these human hair weaves how are these people going to survive at least they are earning a living by shaving their hair which will grow back. So if we stop buying these weaves Jamelia tell me are you going to feed these families?

ahn ahn, how does her comment reflect self hatred? some people sef. there is no denying that Indian hair is more manageable and has a better texture than ours. I know people always envy the length sha. It’s good that you love your hair, doesn’t mean everyone hu doesn’t has a problem.
@Fatimah, i agree Naija weather is against hair growth. See my kenyan friends and their beautiful African Hair, why can’t our own at least be like that?

Abegi, it is hair, it grows back and they need the money. sounds fair to me. As long as nobody is forcing them to do it. If everyone stops buying from them, where would they find another source of income, it’s not like financial aid would be given to them, or jobs are readily available.

But everyone has something they believe in, this is Jamelia’s own, I can’t argue with her.

These people are not Christians. This is how they communicate with their own god; by shaving off their hair. Instead of letting such beautiful hair go to waste, it is turned into beautiful hairpieces for others to use. Now if these women’s hair were been cut off forcefully, that would be another issue.

pls spare me……….. there are many more concerns bothering women around the globe than losing their hair. is it not better that hair is sold than sex trade or illegal drugs. the women who shave their hair at the temple will still do it wether its sold or not. as a religious practice they leave the temple satisfied and hopeful that their sacrifice will benefit them. for those selling for cash they need the money, and besides hair grows back, would you rather deprive somebody of a means of livelihood? you would be surprised most of these people are not as addicted to long hair as we are. they laugh and pity us for actually desiring to wear their hair. if its a dead persons hair, so what? the hair is probably going to waste with the corpse, if it can be utilised by some other living person who needs it, why shouldnt it?

@ Fatimah: My God!….for you to say Indian hair is nicer than yours is just so so so sad……….such a deep deep self hatred there or plain lack of exposure……a word of advise….pls take out time to carry out a very deep and truthful self reflection.

To all those criticising Jamelia, give her a break! she has been raised in the UK…..and hasn’t seen the amount of suffering that those of us Africans have witnessed directly or indirectly……..

It is sha nicer than my hair. If we had that type of hair there wont be a market for it. Naija weathe does not even support hair growth.

i think this hair issue is being overrated. Like someone rightly said, people sell their vital organs for different purposes, for me whatever sails ur boat. Besides hair and nails are dead cells which keep growing even after you are dead so what’s the biggie?? I love good quality weaves and won’t stop using them for any reason, afterall have the rich and mighty stopped wearing ice even though they know how they were got?

I’m glad Jamelia has some sense of moral judgment and also realized that the she is beautiful without the fake hair. Like this song I heard, you gotta work what you got! But if fake hair is what you got well, work that I guess. Hey if I pull your hair, will somebody else scream?
