Living in a region where nobody understands my sense of humor has taught me to recognize situations when I shouldn't speak my mind or even shut my mouth altogether. One of my coworkers showed up with a new, fucked-up weave that's not a good look for her, and for those of you who know anything about black hair trends, it goes without saying that it's nowhere near her natural hair color or texture either.
She came up to me and asked how it looked. What I WANTED to say was, "I can see your tracks. Whoever glued it on forgot to do that little part right there between your bald spot and the vitiligo."
Instead I said, "It looks nice. I like it."

that's a very high humor there, sol. i think restraint was probably best -- especially since i feel that black women are very sensitive about their hair (or other people's hair that they wear on their heads).
I love that you know the technical terms related to weaves and can therefore really insult their poor application.
