Education is the key.
The problem is no amount of education seeps in with those who are obsessed with fakery. Also, it's hard to combat since some girls practically come out of the womb wearing it. It's heartbreaking since the damage is irreversible.
I also see going about bald as another form of self-denial, not wanting people to see your natural hair. It's like saying my African hair is not good enough for the world to see, so I'd rather get rid of it.
I absolutely agree and know this to be true in many cases. However, some go for the shaved looked if they do not like the pattern of their baldness.
