The tracks of her weave - don't try this at home!

I know it's been a while since we have done this together. But don't for one minute think that my love affair with hair extensions has come to an end , au contraire. In fact I have been busy watching, albeit with disgust, some of the weird things that have been happening in the world of hair extensions.
What's up with all that hair stealing in the US? I know hair extensions are in demand but if I want "hot" hair extensions I would certainly take a flat iron to it. Anyhoo, that's another blog altogether.
Earlier this week I was minding my own business when I happened upon a hair extension style that defied all common sense.
Any seasoned weave wearer would tell you that exposing  weave tracks is akin to committing a felony. There was the culprit  at a public office  that sees almost the same people-traffic as the bus station  on a daily basis.
Her jet black (1 B ) curly weave was shoulder length and looked decent  and neat if you were viewing said culprit from the back.
It was when she spun around to ask me for a pen that  I realised I was in on a real life weave crime scene. My eyes never quite left the  stark blonde (27) eight inch straight weave piece she affixed to the the front of her weave during her pen conversation. Nor was it lost on me that she looked like a parrot when she pressed me further for help in filling out a form.
People let's get this straight, if you're going to add a bang at least ensure that the hair you're going to use is either the same texture of the rest of  your weave  or at least same colour!  And please don't stick your weave on and make believe that people are making believe that the weave track they are seeing , by some stretch of their imagination , is a part.
Weave tracks are to be hidden, either by your own hair or by a store bought closure (read my blog on Wigging Out to see what a closure is).
I am worried now because on my way out of the public office I saw yet another chick wearing the same style, same blonde weave piece with the track in full view.
I have tried different weave trends  before, just to see how they work, but honestly this is one  trend that I hope will never catch on! Don't believe me? Check out my photos.
