I have a problem with the advertisments / ads of black people’s hair product especailly when it comes to the relaxing products. I have noticed that they always show a black girl who has a weave on instead of having their original hair or they will be a mixed race girl as a face of this certain brand/ product.

If you look at the people’s hair who are the face of these hair product you will find out that they actually have a weave on or they are multiracial (mixed race). while these products are targeted to black people or maybe I should say they products are mainly used by black people.

They (advertisers) are actually decieving us as their target audience because if when we relax our hair we don’t get the same results as they have advertised. Is there no way that they can actually take a pure black girl and use her real hair as a demostration of how a persons hair will look like istead of puttting on a girl with a weave or a multiracial or mixed race person.
I don’t have a problem with multiracial people nor with the weave, I just don’t like it when we ( target audence) are decieved. We dont get straight and flabby hair as the ones they have outside the box.
Well done. I think it’s about time that someone says it like it is. And you have done a good job. Well written. Only thing is I wasn't able to see a title to the blog?
