Earlier this year a hair product company launched a $25 down program for weave financing. Yes, we are now living in the days where an African American woman can dive into financing weave to tack on debt for her hair.
Hmmmmm….
How Many Bundles for Weave Financing?
The company is offering up to 5 bundles in their weave financing program. The actual installments range from 3, 6 or 12 month programs.
Affirm offers easy financing – without a catch. There are no gimmicks like deferred interest or hidden fees, so the total you see at checkout is always what you’ll actually pay.
Taking on debt or financing anything comes with responsibility. Many Americans struggle with finance and debts of credit cards, auto and home loans. There are times that these areas can cause major problems.

I remember a Chris Rock comedy on this a few years ago, great movie. We, as People, look at each other and make up 97% of the character, inside and out, desire, trust, etc. in just a few seconds. We pay $10k to $50k to fix our teeth, Hair is so much more of a factor when we look at some one verses teeth. Men spend many, many thousands to fix THEIR hair!!! Why can’t women deserve the same respect with our hair. You can see a women with “Good Hair” from a few blocks, how close do you have to be to someone to judge their teeth?
I think it’s a trap…if you can’t afford it up front, why are you trying to finance it? YouTube tutorial goddesses have provided us cheaper options. There is no reason to go into debt to have flawless hair.
