After eleven months together, my boyfriend said recently that the sole reason he hasn't proposed if you ask me is because of my weaves, he couldn't spend the remainder of his life with a lady who wears wigs and weaves. He says he wants his wife to only carry her natural hair and nothing else, so this can be a deal breaker for us. He says once I make him that promise he'll propose if you ask me and I will start making wedding plans. I'm worried for just two reasons; I enjoy my weaves and I don't know if I could exist without them and 2, a person who's adamant on having his way and doesn't want to reason as well as compromise can be a huge problem later in the marriage. But I love him and desire to marry him, I simply don't know what direction to go about his ultimatum. Please help!

With all the skill of a master weaver at a loom, Esther Ogble stands under a parasol in the sprawling Wuse market in Nigeria's capital and spins synthetic fibre into women's hair. Nearby, three customers - one in a hijab - wait for a turn to spend several hours and $40 to have their hair done, a hefty sum in a country where many live on less than $2 a day. 

While still largely based in the informal economy, the African haircare business has become a multi-billion dollar industry that stretches to China and India and has drawn global giants such as L'Oreal and Unilever.

Hairdressers such as Ogble are a fixture of markets and taxi parks across Africa, reflecting both the continent's rising incomes and demand from hair-conscious women.

Somewhere the other day throughout a talk with a male pal of mine, a really fairly woman with simple but really beautiful braids went by. My pal instantly remarked that such a woman would have been a very good “wifey” material.  I found it really fascinating that he can identify this by just her hairstyle.

I requested to know the reason behind this viewpoint; and remarkably I was informed having braids were a certain indicator of modesty.
