Is this weave?

So this weave brings up a good question. Is this actually weave?

This weave comes from my friend Shelly. She spotted it by here office on 9th St. in San Francisco. In the email she sent it in she said she was not sure if it was weave or not. I am going with yes. I have seen enough hair weave in my day to know what is and isn't. But sometimes it can be a rope untangled, or a tangled hair net. And you know what I am not going to be the person who touches to try and find out what it actually is.

It's UnbWEAVEable

So I promised my sister Lyndses last week that I would post 2 weaves a week. EPIC FAIL on my part. So today I am posting 3 weaves. 1 to make up for only one posting last week and 2 for this week. I know it's UnbWEAVEable. Lyndses promises to keep me in weave she says there is so many in her hood. This first weave comes from the East Village on W. 4th and Bowery. I actually can't tell if that is some lost weave or a dead cat. You be the judge.



This next weave comes from her hood - Crown Heights in Brooklyn. One thing you should know about Lyndses is that she is a photographer. And it shows in this picture. When I catch weave I am just about getting the weave. She has caught the whole scene here. This weave is telling a story. Clearly it's garbage day. Was this weave in the trash and fell out? It is one of those things that make you go hmmmm



This weave comes from me. I found this at the Castro Muni station while waiting for the train a few weeks ago. I always love when I spot a weave. This was one of those awkward situations when people were walking up and I was trying to snap the shot without looking weird. I am sure I failed.

Lastly, Stephen last week started punning with the word weave. Well, you know I am a fan of that. Hence the title of today's post It's UnbWEAVEable. Here are a few more he came up with. If you can achieve it, weave it and Weave me alone.

Can you think of any? Comment. Or email me at randomweaves@hotmail.com and I will post them on here.

The tracks of this weave

So this weave comes to me from my friend Lauren L. She sent this to me on Saturday night. Which leads me to believe she saw this in our around work. She works at a restaurant neat Union Square in San Francisco. What really stands out about this weave is the track. You can actually see the track. This more than just a random piece of weave that fell out. This is the whole line. WOW!!! Whoever did this girls hair seriously F'd up. It's also at night. So she lost this on the way to the club. That sucks. That would so ruin my night.

I also want to share a movie dedicated to hair weave:




Chris Rock made this movie about all the money and pain that is in the hair weave business. I am going to this opening night. I can't wait. EVERYONE SEE IT! Who knew it was that tough to get good hair. I wish I could say I feel their pain. But as a man I don't. I just respect and appreciate it.

You know it's fall when.......

This here weave comes from Harlem. Spotted by my dearest Kateri on 127th and Lenox.

You know it is fall when the leaves start gather on the ground and in Harlem so does the weave. I love the leaf is tangled up in the weave. Seasons change and apparently so do hairstyles. This weave is even a fall like color. I love the curl. I am kinda sad for whoever lost this cause her hair must have been fierce.

p.s. I spent the morning back logging weave images. I should have enough to get me through a few months. If I commit to 1 post a week. So keep spotting weave spotters and send that weave to randomweaves@hotmail.com.

Walmart Weave

First I just have to say this is an exciting post for me. Most of the weave findings come from my own personal weave encounters or they are sent to me from a friend (who usually sends it to my personal email or cell). But today this weave comes to us from a reader. A Randomweaves first. I checked the hotmail account this morning and there was an email from a gal named Kerri. So thank you Kerri for the share.

This was taken in front of a Walmart (CLASSIC). Maybe the person who lost this weave was on the way in to get some new weave: http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_constraint=0&ic=48_0&search_query=hair+weave&Find.x=0&Find.y=0&Find=Find. Oh yes some Walmart locations carry hair weave. Well whatever the case I love how this is all caught up in the wheel of a Walmart shopping cart.

A New York state of weave

This weave comes to us all the way from New York City. Spotted in the West Village by my friend Rachel (sent by way of Lauren). That is a whole lotta weave to have lost. I Maybe this is from Tyra when she shed her weave to go natural. Who knows.

P.S. this morning I was running late to work (thanks muni) and I was walking to the office and I spotted a weave on the ground. I didn't have time to stop and take a pic. Sorta sad. Keep sending me weave pics y'all: randomweaves@hotmail.com

A return to Weave

Greetings Fellow Weave Enthusiasts,

I realize it has been over 2 years since my last post. And I still get pics sent to me from friends all over the place. And of course I still always stop and take pics when I do see a weave. I am sorry for my absence. I am going to try to be a bit more consistent. But after checking my email this morning I found an email from my friend Kevin. He came across this beautiful weave. You can tell that after falling out of the owners hair the braid itself became unraveled. This is a perfect example of a tumble weave.

Now with today's post I am going to make a commitment of updating at least once a week. I hope you all continue to enjoy. And as always if you find a weave please send them to randomweaves@hotmail.com
