Nope, not all of them. I am one that don't wear weaves. My hair is natural with no chemicals and it is very long.

I think this is very true. For a long time I was obsessed with having my hair permed and then pressed straight b/c when I wore my hair natural all the other kids would say my hair was 'nappy'. Our neighborhood is 98% Caucasian and .999% African-American so I felt tremendous pressure to keep my hair straight and long. I didn't wear weave b/c my hair grows pretty quick (if I don't damage it). Now that I'm out of high school I don't really care anymore. I still perm my hair once a month but I don't flat iron it, I wear it wavy/crimped. I wish I could just wash and wear my hair the way it is, no chemical processing, but that's the pressure society puts on our shoulders....

I cant say that ALL do because there are chemical processes that can straighten hair and make it more manageable, but all my friends who are African American (and dont go natural or have braids) have weaves.
They say it is easier to get a weave than it is to grow their own hair out since it is pretty course and curly and doesn't grow very long. Plus, the chemical processes available would tend to make the hair more brittle so that also doesn't allow them to grow their hair as long as they would like.
In my experience, any African American woman with straight hair past her shoulders has a weave. You would probably have to ask someone with personal experience in this area though, like a hairdresser.
Hope this helps.

no it depends on heredity, lifestyle and a number of many other things...most celebrities of all races use extensions or weaves because constant styling breaks off their own hair...look at paris hilton ,beyonce, nicole richie, jessica simpson, halle berry and quite a few more all use "weaves" when i was younger living in texas my hair was thick, wavy and to the middle of my back...i move to cali and it thins out and now goes to a little above my bra line... my great grandmother had hair to her butt...thick luxurious silver hair...not grey not salt and pepper but beautiful silver hair... it all depends

My hair was waist length. Not straight....I never liked straight hair on me. My mother could sit on her hair when I was a kid, and my great grandmother who had thick wavy hair could stand on hers. Many Black Women have long hair. Some straighten it, some do not. Many White women with long straight hair (Paris Hilton) wear extensions.

It's all merely a matter of personal preference. I have short hair and guys such as it. And i prefer a guy with short hair over a person with long hair because long tresses tends to make guys look too girly.

The answer to your question is no. Some Black women grow their hair out and then either use perms to straighten out their hair or let their hair stay natural.

African American women can get "perms" to straighten the natural curliness in their hair.

No, a few of my friends with beautiful long hair grew their own, and so did I. We never added fake hair to our heads.
