Hair Braiding and the Koreans

Hair braiding is an art that is right out of Africa, yet more recently, people of other nationalities are attepting to buy us out just like the Africans that sold their brothers and sisters into slavery. I now see that several braiders are taking up shop in Korean owned beauty supply stores, this selling out.

Many of the Korean merchants refuse to wholesale hair to braiding salons at the lobbying of the beauty supply shops. The braiders that work out of these beauty supply shops must realize that they are being used, this is just like the Koreans now run many of the "Sould Food" restaurants in the DC metro area. Let us preserve what is ours.

The Business of Human Hair

The business of Human Hair is a multi-billion dollar one, and the primary beneficaries of those dollars are the Koreans here in America. When has the Koreans made a single contributit on to the African American community, never, yet everyday we are making them rich by purchasing "human hair" that actually comes from an animal called the YAK.

I run a braiding salon, and at times have found it very difficult to purchase hair from Korean merchants because they want to keep the profits from "hair" with the Korean community. I am thinking that now that we know that these Korean merchants that sell us this Yak hair as human hair that we start a national boycott until the truth is revealed and the "human hair" pricing is normalize. I find that several of the synthetic hair fibers works just as well as the "human hair", food for thought.

Take a look at my blog on the Yak hair as human hair and you will see that most of the response are in Korean or Chinese, meny of them might be cussing at me because of this revelation.
