Sh*t I Hate About "Weave Gurus" on Youtube

And is it me or are they constantly rotating their uparts/weave ?
How can you possibly give an honest review on the hair if you are only wearing it a few days at the time ?

I have seen comments "disappear" that are constructive criticism  or like the other poster (informing the "guru" about the origin of the hair). I agree with all of the above and would also add 2 more very irritating pet peeves of mine:

Gurus that don't ever answer their subbies or other viewers' comments/follow-up questions but are constantly BADGERING, "Don't forget, thumb-me-up, rate, comment and subscribe."

Gurus with some shakey azz hand held camera that I need dramamine to watch the video. They are usually hollering at the top of their lungs, "Hey youtube, is ya girl xxx, I'm comin' atchoo wit... Get thee to a tripod store!!!

There is one YT self proclaimed guru that I do not like too much. Reasons:

Her attitude is really wrong when she makes her videos.

Like you said coco, usually no help when people comment (I wanted to YT email her for help and she kept beating around the bush - basically no) but we must "rate comment and subscribe"? Subscribe for what? The ability to what your videos that are the same as everyone elses BUT you offer no additional clarification on what you do? please

Always the same thing every time... new hair, new weave, new closure, company xyz blah blah blah. Why not keep that weave/u part/ closure wig/ full lace ON for minimum several weeks. Treat it as you would any hair and see how it holds up THEN do an "update" review perhaps?
She never does update reviews on hair she "buys".

I thought the secrecy about hair and our "tricks" were a thing of the past! We are a community (not BHM I mean in general) that all enjoy wearing hair. Black, white, asian, indian whatever, if we have done something right/wrong we should still inform people. Its that whole problem with "getters and takers". I find it a little upsetting at times.

Makes me glad I am a part of the BHM community. I feel at home here

I agree. Kind of hard to believe a "final" review when they've only worn it for a few hours a day for a week.
